Il have described this case At
length because in most il nc: all
essentials it is typical Of large
proportion OF fully 1000 cases l
have decided after hearing in which
warrants of arrest had been issued
by the department of labor in
prima facie proof of probable
cause furnished by special. agents
of the department of justice. The
aliens are arrested and imprisoned,
while in prison they are subjected
to police Office inQuisition, an af-
fidavit showing probable cause
upon information and belief is
thereupon presented to the depart
ment of labor, whereupon the lat
ter department issues its warrant
of arrest. takes over the custody OF
the alien as ty law it is required to
do and proceeds as usual under
the expulsion clause Of the immi-
grafton law. When the hearings at

gress Of the United States should
not hastily be presumed to have
intended that resident aliens be ar
rested and deported as members OF
an unlawful organization when all
the circumstances show the alien
himself to have been innocent Of
any guilty knowledge or motive in

appears not only that he is and has
been wholly free from any hostile
purpose toward this government,
but that he is sympathetic with our

Neither is ice taken from Rock
