in Bulgaria. He had not the least
connection with the attempt on
the Sofia cathedral or any other
action, the only reason for his
Imprisonment was the fact that
he was a member of a wellknown
revolutionary family.
Georges Mallet was released a
short time ago and escaped to

statements about the white terror
in Bulgaria and his imprison-

Alien Bill in House
is Prelude to Others
Directed at Workers

WASHINGTON, April 25-Contrary
to a prevalent belief, the immigration
committee of the house of representa-
tives has reported out an alien de-
portation bill despite the coming con-
gressional elections that it was thot
might cause hesitation in this sort of
legislation.
The measure is the Holiday bill that
provides for the deportation Of gun
men, dope-peddlers and aliens that
have served a minimum of one year in
prison during the first seven years Of
their residence in this country.
1t is presumed that the reporting Of
this bill is prelude to the considera-
tion by the house this session of other
measures, such as the Aswell and Nc
Clintock 1nger-printing bills directed
against foreign-born workers and their
organizations.

CHICAGO MAY DAY
WILL CONTINUE A
Great TRADITION
Coliseum Meeting Is Big
gest Yet Tried

The committee in charge Of the
staging Of chIcaso's great May Day
celebration at the Coliseum on May
list Is determined to make the meet
ing the greatest demonstration yet
witnessed in Chicago in honor Of la
boris international holiday.
Shortage of seating space will in no
way interfere with large turnout
since the Coliseum holds more than
10000 people. From the earliest days
of labor's struggles Chicago has been
the core of the labor movement in this
country. 1t was in the very city Of
Chicago that the bitterest battles
were fought by the workers during the
great eight-hour agitation in the
eighties-the movement that founded
May Day as a workers day. Since
then the workers Of the world have
set aside that day as theirs.
Great Tradition.
And since that great struggle OF the
American workers May Day has be-
come a tradition. This day has been
marked turnout the world by the
greatest demonstrations of labor's
strength and solidarity. Every year in
London, Paris, Vienna, Moscow, New
York and all the great centers Of the
world workers gather to commence
rate the day given them by the bat
Ting American workers of the SOS
whose leaders were the militant fight
ers of Chicago.
Memorable May Days.
All the memorable May Days-Mos-
COW, 1918, after the workers revolu-
ton; Paris, 1919, when the sons Of
the communards raised the banner OF
workers government; London, 1921,
when the British workers formed
their great alliance for the defense of
the Russian workers against English
imperialism-these days will serve as
guides to the Chicago workers who
this May will emulate the great work
ing-class traditions Of other days.
Speakers.
The speakers will be VIM. q. Foster,
recently returned from soviet Rus
STA; James P. Cannon, secretary of
International Labor Defense; Jay
Lovestone, organization secretary OF
the Workers Party; William Mont
gomery Brown the hereto" bishop,

ANDREWS SEEKS
TEETH IN THE
NARCOTIC LAWS
Court Decisions Have
Weakened Enforcement
Especial to The Daily worker)


WASHINGTON April 25-L. C. An
drews, head of the prohibition enforce
ment department, asked congress to
pass number of amendments to put
additional teeth in the Harrison Anti
Narcotic law.
Present enforcement, Andrews said,
has been weakened by recent adverse
decisions in federal courts.
Important features of the recon-
mendations were:
1. An amendment to prevent ply
sicians who are themselves addlcts
from registering under the Harrison
act, and further forbidding physicians
who have been convicted Of violations
of this law from registering for one
year thereafter.
2. To remove the necessity, pro
posed in some judicial jurisdictions,
that the government shall prove the
venue in the case of the absence of
the proper tax stamp on the particu-
lar package of narcotic drugs seized.
3. To forbid making the so-called
"ambulatory treatment" for narcotic
drug addiction an excuse for provid-
ing drugs to addicts.
4. To place responsibility on the
druggist to exercise reasonable pre-
cautions, before filling prescriptions,
that the prescription has been writ
ten in good faith.

.NYE ASKS farmer
DEBT BE SETTLED
SAME AS ITALIAN
Gift to Italy Should Also
be Given Farmer

WASHINGTON = (FPl - Senator
Nye of North Dakota, progressive, has
introduced joint resolution in the
senate proposing that the American
debt funding commission be directed
to settle the farmers debts to the
government on the same basis Of can
collation. on the same basis to Italy.
BY this measure he challenges the adj
ministration to defend its policy Of
forgiving the debt Of the Italian mill
tarists while it insists on collection to
the last cent from the debated Ameri-
can farmers.
Two Million Gift.
His preamble points out that it is
being made the policy Of the United
States to settle debts owing to 1t by
European governments for as little as
% per cent of the obligation, and in
the case Of Italy this means gift Of
$4,000, 900; that such settlements are
justified on the ground that the debtor
cannot pay more and that the debts
were incurred in the prosecution of the
war.
Same to Farmers.
It resolves that the government
make settlement of all debts created
as a result of the war and owing to it
by individuals and corporations at
home and abroad, as in the case of the
farmers of America, who borrowed ex-
tensively upon the encouragement of
this government thru the channels OF
credit established by the government,
such as the war finanace corporation,
national farm loan associations, fed
eral reserve system and federal land
banks"
1t proposes that these settlements be
made retroactive and upon the basis Of
property equities held by the farmers
or other borrowers as of January 1,
1920, whether the farmer shall still
hold equities or shall have lost them
thru the foreclosure or forfeiture on
or since January 1, 1920"
Restore Homes.
In this way Nye would restore to
tens of thousands of western farmers
the homes they have lost since the
government debated and ruined them,
due to their over-zeal in expansion Of
their industry when the government
urged them to produce more food.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
BY JOHN MeCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below,
We are the dead. Short days ago
We liyed, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from falling hands we throw
The torch. Be yours to hold it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
