Revival of Alien Sedition Laws

or aliens who too severely criticized
the government" Like the Alien Acts,
it originated in the Senate, where
Federalism was rampant.
In reading over John Adams Sc
dition Act, one is struck by the startl-
ing resemblance to the Michigan
Criminal Syndicalist" Law, under
which w. 2. Foster and Charles Z.
Ruthenberg have been prosecuted
and, indeed, to many other State Cri-
mina1 Syndicalism Laws turnout the
country. In it's final shape, it made
it a high misdemeanor "unlawfully
to combine and conspire" OF ito com
nit, advise. or attempt to procure
any instruction and riot, or unlawful
assembly, or combination"
Under such a law, the powers that
be could jail a class-conscious worker
for almost anything which is also
the case under our contemporary as
sortment of Criminal Syndicalist
laws. Ten persons, all of whom of
course, belonged to an opposition
party, were tried and convicted under
the Sedition Act. Many others were
indicted but not tried. the political
effect Of these cases was to make
popular martyrs of those whom the
government was prosecuting. The
state legislators of Kentucky and Vir-
ginia passed strong resolutions of
protests, the Kentucky Legislature de
claring that it would refuse to recog-
nize the law. On all sides, the alb
horrent Alien and Sedition Acts were
denounced as unconstitutional and
as violation of the elementary rights
Eof free speech and free assembly. In
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-17

dignation among the enraged people
ran high.
The Federalist Party tried to de-
stroy the effect Of the Kentucky and
Virginia resolutions by insinuating
that they were all part Of a French
plot-the French plot theory being
an expedient which the adroit FEEDER
alists could employ on any occasion
But, Bassett tells us, 1.-THE imputa-
ton Of a French plot could not be
sustained by the Federalists. The
public realized that the issue was
the Alien and Sedition Laws and back
of them was the consolidating ten
dency of Federalism"
The results were seen in the out
come of the election of 1900.
Silent Cal" Coolidge is in high IA
vor in the Republican Party today.
He is without peer, as a servant Of
Wall Street and consequently, he is
without peer as candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomination. He
has given his approval to Mr.. John
sons "Alien BilF' and has expressed
himself as decidedly pleased with Mr..
Sterling's "Sedition Bill" It was as
leading member of his Cabinet that
the underworld character, Harry M.
Daugherty planned his brutal raid on
the convention of the Communist Par
ty in Berrien County, Michigan, in
dieting Foster, Ruthenberg, Dunno
and 29 associates. Ruthenberg's ap-
peal. which is being financed by the
Labor Defense Council. will soon be
heard.
For precisely the same reasons that

jugate them to the capitalist program.
That is the meaning Of the Dawes re-
port, which is so heartily supported
by the capitalist press. This report
which has so readily been approved by
the liberals and the yellow socialists
the world over. the traitors who have
so long deceived the workers is moth
ing but program to force the Ger
man workers to greater exploitation
so that they will provide not only
profit for German capitalism but also
pay Preparations to the Allies. If the
German working class can be smash
ed politically and their organizations
annihilated. great step towards the
enslavement of the world working
class will have been achieved.
The White Terror is triumphant
and reigns supreme over the fallen
body Of the proIetariat. In Germany,
Finland, Roumania, Poland, Italy,
Spain, Hungary. Greece, and other
European countries, the naked dicta-
torship Of the capitalist class is open
ly exercised crushing every attempt
Of the workers to maintain their con
ditions. The social democrats, the
heroes Of the Second International, as
well as the trade union bureaucrats,
have openly sold out to the capitalist
class. In spite of the misery of the
masses, in spite Of their poverty and
wretchedness, they openly preach sub
mission to the capitalist regime, and
crush any attempt to organize resist
ance.
Yes. the White Terror is supreme
at least on the surface. but the work
ers are stirring everywhere and are
again beginning to fight the capitalist
class openly. A new wave of militancy
is sweeping the world, and the work
ing class is once more preparing its
forces for battle.
In Great Britain mass strikes swept
the country, which have been partially
successful and which were prevented
from realizing their full demand by
