secretary of labor, Calvin Coolidge
and the memorandum of the workers
lawyer, we can see no reason why
capitalist government should deport
the S. L. P. man unless it be for
feeble mindedness. A man with any
kind Of mental vigor would not be-
long to a party that has such shame
less lickspittle for secretary.
ONE of the exhibits sent out by the
" unknown" secretary of the S. L.
P. is a summary of the socialist labor
party defense made by the Fed
Grated Press. This is the way the
''F. p" puts it: "The party (meaning
the socialist labor party emphasizes
in its argument that no one is allow
ed to be a member who believes in
violence or in any anarchistic tend
encies of the labor movement and
that it is an enemy of the Commun-
lists" If this does not convince Cal
vim Coolidge, Senator William But
Ter and Judge Gary that the S. L. P.
man is as harmless as a eunuch in a
harem, they are unduly suspicious.
THE secretary of the socialist la
4 Dor party in his letter to the press,
protests against the alleged gagging
mote the alleged) of distinguished
visitor to this country, Count Karolyi"
and places the deportation proceed
ings against Vojnovic, the worker, on
the same level as the gagging of the
aristocratic Hungarian. Furthermore,
the deportation proceedings "consti-
tute an outrage against common JUS
tice and against all those traditions
and ideals that the world has come
to associate with the American re-
public" That's that. The world is
almost as blind to the bloody rule Of
American capitalism as the S. L. P.
But to go on with the story.
THE correspondence between the s.
4 L. P. secretary and Secretary of
Labor Davis and Calvin Coolidge,
might have been written by the Sec
rotary of the American Defense So
ciety in the event of one Of that or
ganization's finks getting arrested by
some moron in the employ of the de-
partment of justice by mistake. The
headlines read: "Deporting Alien for
UNFOLDING United States Constitu-
ton" Victim not a Communist and
Opposed to Violence" The text sug-
sests that the foreign-born members
Of the Workers Party are fit subjects
Tor deportation, as Vojnovic is an 'ac-
tive opponent of those groups and in
dividuals (including the Workers
(Communist) Party of America)
which advocates physical force, etc."
THESE are excerpts taken at ran
4 dom from the mass of garbage
sent out by the s. L. P. in order to
convince one hundred per cent Ameri-
cans that Vojnovic is as loyal to the
United States government of Wall
Street as the imperial wizard of the
ku klux khan. There is no more USE
full servant of the department of JUS
tice than the shrinking violet who is
adding to the infamous record that
the socialist labor party has built for
itself since its founder, Daniel De
Leon passed away. The collection of
pseudo-radicals who now exc out an
existence keeping the collection of
petty shopkeepers and artful phrase
mongers together, have neither the
intelligence to camouflage their
treachery or the courage to affiliate
openly with the National Civic FEEDER
alton. Vo1novic should not be deport-
ed. If he is the kind of soupbone
that the secretary of the S. L. P. pic
lures him, he should be given a Job
tickling general Dawes nose with a
tickling General Dawes nose with a
over the senate sessions. He might
thus support the constitution more
effectively than he is now, by keeping
He'll an Maria awake.
