The Hayden and Taylor Bills.
THE bills introduced by Congress
4 man Hayden of Arizona and Con-
gresham Taylor of Colorado provide
for a veritable deluge of deportations.
The Hayden bill appears to be a
very innocent measure. 1t declares for
the punishment by Imprisonment, not
more than three years, and by fine
of not more than $4,000, or by both
such fine and Imprisonment for any
foreign-born worker who has come
back to the United States after being
deported. In order to hit as many as
possible of the foreign-born workers,
the Hayden bill also proposes to apply
this measure to those who may here
after be deported from the United
States in pursuance of law" Mere at
tempt to re-enter is sufficient to entail
for the worker this severe punish
ment.
Prison and Deportation en- Masse.
In an effort to guarantee that the
workers will be punished to the limit
the Hayden proposal declares that the
deportation shall not take place until
after the termination of such imprison-
ment."
There Is practically no difference
whatsoever between the bill proposed
by Congressman Taylor OF Colorado
and the one proposed by Mr.. Hayden.
Any attempt OF deported worker to
return to the United States will be
considered a felony and Imprisonment
for not more than three years or a fine
of not more than $4,000 or a combina-
ton Of the two will be the reward.
Hundreds Of workers have already
been deported from the United States
Only very small proportion of the
great mass of workers deported in the
notorious Palmer raids can be called
mental detectives or afflicted with
contagious diseases. or insane. In the
main, these workers we're deported
for having Ideas dangerous TO the con-
tinued rule OF the United States by
the exploiting class.
While these measures are before
the house committee on immigration.

What Congress Wants to Do Against Workers

| the executive arm of the government
is being prepared to smite the foreign
born workers and consequently the
whole working class. Bills are now
being framed to appropriate huge
sums of money to enable the govern
ment agents to round up foreign-born
workers who, in their opinion, are de-
portable or who, in their opinion,
should be sent back to the countries
of their nativity regardless of the
consequences in storef for the de-
portees. A bill has already been re-
ported appropriating an additional
million dollars for the immigration
service. Most of this money will be
used to deport foreign-born workers
supposed to be here in violation of
the law. 9.s
According to Mr. Carl White,
assistant secretary of labor, there are
in the United States at least 100000
foreign-born workers who are deport-
able under the existing laws. One
need not ponder much to conclude
that there will be many more thou
sands of such workers eligible for de-
portation after the vicious Hayden
and Taylor bills are enacted. Commits
sioner of immigrationaiHarry E. Hull
goes Mr.. White better1 and says that
the number of foreign1born workers
who may be deported even under the
present statutes approaches the sum
Of 100000.
viii Spend Money Without Limit.
MTE have heard very much about
W the worries Of Coolidge and his
clique as to the cost OF government.
The fact of the matter is that Coo
lidg and his cabinet are worried re-
garding the cost of government only
when such Expenditures benefit the
masses. But the agents Of Wall Street
do not seem to be worried In the least
at this time when they have con-
sidered that II would cost twenty-five
million dollars to deport 100000 for.
eign-born workers. TIC

should be appropriated for the ex-

with the request for his intervention
This politician, however, like his
friend Coolidge in America, is not in
terested in the workers struggle. The
very next day he participated in
meeting of the capitalists at the
Rotary Club in Melbourne where he
wound up particularly vicious at

ton that so far as the seamen were

But that was not the case with the
editorial staff. The editors had been
closer to those statements and the
thoro explanation of them hurt them
more.
H. Askeli continued, as one Of the
editors and one of the trainers Of the
statements, to defend them and tried
to show Finnish affairs in better
light than they had been shown dur
ing the dispute, but in his eagerness
he did not see that he had come to
defend Federation patriotism"
"The result was that the party lead
ership exerted all pressure in order
to discipline Askeli, who was asked in
the party convention to repudiate his
incorrect views if he wished to be an
editor of a paper controlled by the
party. Askeli did not do this, because
he supposed that the masses were be-
hind him."
so the party convention unanim-
ously decided upon the removal Of
Askeli from the editorial staff Of
Tyomies. The question came up in
the board, Sept l, when Comrade
Tenhunen made report on the con-
vention. The board decided unani-
mously that the question of Askeli's
removal would be taken up when
there was official information about
the decision of the convention.
This decision has caused repeated
attempts by the editorial staff to ex-
plain it in such a way that the board
has requested the editorial staff not
to make a report on the convention,
| he decisions and future forms Of
1arty work before they get official di-
ections from Chicago.
AskeIi Assais Party.
"THEN, on Sept. 6, Askeli published
4 his unparalleled chronicle of the
convention which did not leave any
doubt about Comrade Askeli to any
member of the board for whom the
authority of the party had any sig
nificance.
"The meeting of the board was then
held, Sept. 10, when it had the official
information by Comrade c. E. Ruth
.enberg about the Comintern decision
that Askeli must be removed from the
editorial staff, and the board decided
to remove him by seven votes against
one. Besides this, it was decided to
publish a statement in Tyomies in or
der to inform the supporters of the
paper and the members of the party
that the board was Internationally for
the central executive committee.
"This stand of the board did not
satisfy the editorial staff, which re-
sented it and at joint meeting of the
board and the editorial staff, Sept II,
it demanded that the board repeal the
decision to remove Askeli and in this
way begin campaign against the
unanimous decision of the party con-
vention. The overwhelming majority
of the board, however, regarded the
authority of the party as higher than
the occasional comradely feelings of
the editors, and the decision was held
valid
This meeting of the shareholders
will now decide the relation of the
firm towards the party, and the board
has not the slightest doubt about the
meeting taking a stand in favor of the
way mapped out blythe party and the
Communist International; and when
it takes this road it should also de-
mand that every editor in the service
of the firm should officially, in an ar.

Fight for Right Policies. ~
TINE sub-district convention in SUI
4 perior before the Finnish conven-
ton met in this atmosphere. Reor-
ganization and Bolshevization were of
ficially and unanimously approved, but
on technical questions many COM
rades indirectly and circuitously came
to an anti-party position. The oppo-
sition worked under the cover of at
tacks on comrades who had worked
consistently for the party line.
The Finnish convention defined our
relation to the Communist Interna-
tional the party leadership, reorgan-
ization and Bolshevization. 1t repu-
dated sharply all tendencies OBJ
jectively leading to side paths. In
spite of this, there was in the annual
meeting of Tyomies a awell-organized
opposition which tried to settle the
disputed questions by the power of
their share-holding. AS before, this
opposition asserted loyalty to the
party, but in technical questions it
had different proposals that might
have led to precarious paths. The
most convincing proof of that was
their attitude toward Askeli's re-
moval, the report of the board con-
corning the relations between the edi-
torial staff and the board, and the pub
lie statement on this question. The
opposition, altho weak, voted against
the stand of the board, approved by
the central executive committee. Also
the election of the board, when the
opposition, with determined unanim-
ity tried to place the board in the
hands of opposition members.
On two points in the annual report
of the board, concerning the political
lines, there was a thoro discussion for
day and half AS those points
are not yet made public and as the
membership and the readers have a
right to know what the discussion was
about, / quote them here:
THE discussion which has been on
the order of the day for the past two
years had touched us only superb
cially before the last half year-when
the situation developed to decisive
point and the Finnish federation as
we'll as the papers were compelled to
take a definite stand on the questions
concerning it.
"The board of Tyomies, as we'll as
the editors, had regarded the disputes
as partly artificial and partly as
fight between personalities about the
leading places, from which the party
and our cause can derive only dam
age. From the same point of view
the membership of the Finnish fedora
ton seemed to regard Che question,
and as a result we had lamong other
things the famous statements of the
Superior branch, which were without
doubt framed with good intention, in
the interests of the party, and which
seemed to us very water-tight indeed
but that they were not SO perfect as
they had seemed to us, was shown to
us by the sharp analysis of Comrade
Green and other comrades.
1T was not difficult for the Tyomies
board, at least its majority, to aban-
don those views expressed in the
statements mentioned above when the
inaccuraey was properly explained.

CFrom Tyomies, Feb. IS, 1920
A LTHO complete unanimity was
"A reached in the convention of the
Finnish federation after the most
thoro discussion on the relations Of
the Finnish Communists to the ques-
tions raised by the party crisis, the
party nevertheless was not lulled to
sleep by an illusion that there would
no longer exist any remnants of con-
fusion. On the contrary, considering
all the various experiences which the
Communist International has had in
the reorganization in several parts of
the world confusion was to be ex-
pected in one form or another.
On the side of the party it was con-
sidered that surges of opposition
would arise, among other things in
the annual meetings of the newspaper
societies. The experiences confirm
this assumption. Many signs pointed
to it beforehand.
Out of Isolation.
TINE Finnish federation had. lived in
4 very loose relation to the party.
The party did not know what was hap
pening in the Finnish federation and
the latter led its own exclusive life.
The inner life of the party was for
the Firms more matter of guess than
Of knowledge. And then when, be-
fore the last party convention, from
the circles around Tyomies, there
arose criticism of the party leader
ship and party affairs, it developed
into an opposition, altho perhaps that
was not the aim at the beginning.
The comrades who took up this criti-
cism. undoubtedly with a sincere pur-
pose, once they had started criticiz-
ing, could no longer control the right
wing elements they had carried with
them These right wingers came to
the top with the waxe of criticism and
set their own mark upon it.
The AskeIi Affair.
TINE party convention was compel
Led to use disciplinary measures.
Henry Askeli was removed from the
Tyomies' editorial staff. He became
a martyr for the more backward ele-
ments. THE big questions of the party
crisis were put into the background
and those elements saw only the per-
son of Henry Askeli. In spite Of all
the assurances he gave the party,
Henry Askeli could not master the
temptation, but for a long time ex-
plotted the sympathy of the right
wingers by keeping silent and so en-
couraging the organization of the OPP
position. The same purpose was
served by the appeal of the editors of
Tyomies for Askeli altho it was ex-
planned that technical questions, not
questions of principle, were the basis
Of it.
About the removal of Henry Askeli
and the technical side of it the CEN
trail executive committee gave clear
written statement But the comrades
who appealed still saw a possibility
for different explanation than
Tyomies' board gave, altho the central
executive committee supported the
views of the board on the question.
This question formed a technical basis
for the continuation of the opposition.
The leaders of the opposition asserted
that they are loyal to the party lead
ership. But the course of events
showed that all elements pessimistie
about the reorganization rallied
around them. SO this opposition be-
came effectively an opposition to the
