against Post. What has been produced
proves that Post was acting within his
powers, and was complying with the
letter of the Constitution, which had
been flagrantly violated in dozen diff
ferent cases by the miscalled DEPART
ment of Justice, which has no statu.
tory authority to inject itself into i'm
migration cases."
Representative johnson said tho De-
partment of Justice had acted under
a mandate OF Congress in breaking up
the Communist party and in rounding
up the enemies Of the country. whether
alien or citizen.
Johnson Defends Palmer
"The immigration Office" he said,
rs not working and things there are
IN state Of collapse. The arrest OF
members of the Communist party by
the Department of Justice last Jan
uary broke up damnable conspiracy
against the United States. 1t is not
the fault Of the Department of Justice
that those arrested were crowded in
Jail and held for two or three months
without trial. The Department of La
Dor, having jurisdiction over alien enc
mics, hung fire. Post and Immigra-
ton Commissioner Caminetti got into
letter writing contest. Post elm
mated the Department OF Justice"
Representative Johnson cited tho
case Of George Andreyschine, the
!: w w. organizer, convicted under
Michigan state laws and sentenced to
deportation. Andreyschine is q Mace
DOMAIN, who made plea against depor-
tatlon on the ground that he would be
executed without trial if he returned
to his native land. Emma Goldman
made q special plea in his behalf to
zens appealed to Senators and Repre-
sentatives, urging review of the case.
Mr.. Post, Mr.. johnson declared, re-
ferred the plea of Emma Goldman to
the Office of the Secretary of Labor
with the notation that "Miss Gold
mans representations of fact be given
full credence."
Reds Confident of Post
at is stated in the correspondence
on this case" Representative John
son continued, chat if 'Comrade' Will
son could be kept busy on other work
Andreyschine could be saved" Post
later had Andreyschine released, said
Representative Johnson. Andreyschine
returned to his l. w. w. work, Mr..
johnson said, and later was arrested
in Chicago with other l. W. w. work
ers. convicted and sentenced to twenty
years in the Federal prison at Leaven-
worth, Kan. ....,..
"Then came his appeal to Post for
release from prison, and deportation
instead" Mr.. johnson continued. "I
have been told that he is now cut
under $1,000 bail This is the way
Post is conducting his office.
"He may delay action on an i'm
peachment resolution until this Con-
gress dies, but the people have his
record. l could read you a speech by
him, delivered in Washington in 1915,
in which he DETAINED the army. I
could read from his early writings to
prove his un-American views. But
what we are concerned with is the
execution of the laws of Congress
which state clearly that aliens who
seek the overthrow of this government
by violence shall be sent out of the
country. That is what Congress and
the people demand. That is, what the
Department of Justice has sought to
bring about and what Post is prevent

Princeton Professor
And Labor Head
Nominated toI. C.. C..
Names of James Jones Ford
and James Duncan Sent
to the Senate by Wilson;
Opposition Is Expressed

WASHINGTON, April 30-Two new
Interstate Commerce Commissioners
were nominated to-day by President
Wilson. A third has been selected and
his name will be sent to the Senate
as soon as he consents to serve.
James Jones Ford, professor Of poll
tics at Princeton University, and Jane 8
Duncan, of Quincy, Mass, a vice presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, were the commissioner named.
Mr.. Ford was nominated to succeed
Commissioner James S. Harlan and his
term would expire on December 81,
1925, Mr.. Harlan's term having ended
on December 81, 1918. Mr.. Duncan was
appointed to one Of the two new posi-
tions on the commission resulting from
It's enlargement to nine members by
the transportation act. His term
would end on December 81, 1924, and
that of the member yet to be appointed
would expire on December 81, 1923.
The nominations automatically were
referred to the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee, which probably will
consider them next week. There was
no discussion in the Senate when the
nominations were received, but oppo-
sitlon to the appontees was expressed
privately by several Democratic and
Republican Senators, members of the
committee, as we'll as by other Sena-
tors.
Professor Ford is a native of Balti-
more and a graduate of Baltimore City
College. He has been professor Of
politics at Princeton since A9O8 and
has written a number of books on po-
lltical science and related subjects.
Mr.. Duncan was born in Scotland,
was educated at Aberdeen and for
many years worked as granite cut
ter He was editor of "The Granite
Cutters Journal" secretary and presi-
dent of the Granite Cutters Interna-
tional Association and was a member
OF the commission sent to Russia in
1917 by President wilson
1t was said that Professor Ford was
nominated as a Democrat and Mr.. Dun
can as an independent. The latter
formerly was Republican, but sup
ported President Wilson in both of his
campaigns. Under the law no political
party can have majority of more than
one on the commission. At present
four of the commissioners are Repub-
llcans and four are Democrats.
