Plan Mass Meeting on
April 18th

NEW YORK, April 9 - The work.
ers of New York are fast raIlying to
the support Of the New York council
for the Protection Of Foreien-Born
Workers in its drive against the anti
alien bills now pending in congress.
100000 Workers.
The council, organized in February
and backed by over 100000 organized
workers. has already begun the cam
paign which aims to unite all workers
of the city in a fight against the at
tempts to create a conscript army Of
foreign-born workers and thus estab-
lish club over the heads of the en-
tire American working class.
A mass meeting against the Aswell,
Johnson, McClintic and all other alien
registration laws will be held on Fri
day. April 16, p. M, at Manhattan
Lyceum, &C East Fourth street At
this demonstration petitions will be
distributed and the drive started for
100000 signatures voicing the pro-
test OF New York Labor and demand
ing the defeat of all discriminatory
measures against foreign-born work
ers.
It is expected that the meeting will
prove highly successful demonstra-
ton. The workers are not fooled by
the fact that very little agitation is
now being carried on by supporters
of these measures. They understand
that II action on these bills is post
poned, II is merely an election man
euver. American capital has been con-
spring for several years to carry thru
its vicious plans, and only the organ
lied power, the united efforts of all
sections of the American working
class will prevent the enactment Of
the proposed legislation.
