The newly-created National Council
for Protection of Foreign-Born Work
ers, whose office is at Al Union Square,
New York, issues the following con-
else data on legislation aimed at work
ers who happen to have been born out
side Of this country and incidentally
at the whole working class:
Bills proposing to wipe out elemen-
tary rights guaranteed the workers of
this country by the constitution of the
United States, namely, the right of
unfettered pursuit Of life, liberty and
happiness" hallowed by historical dec
larations such as the Declaration of
Independence, have at various times
in the history of this country been
brought before the United States con
gress.
Once again at this time a series of
most un-American measures are be-
fore the United States congress, pro-
posing the registration, flnger-printing
and photographing of foreign-born
workers.
President Coolidge and Secretary OF
Labor Davis are vigorous champions
of these vicious anti.labor laws.
These bills, II enacted into law, will
bring into the United States the black
est practices OF Russian czarism and
Prussian mllitarim.
One of these bills, bill No. HR-55S3,
introduced by CONGRESSMAN Aswell of
Louisiana, and now pending before
congress, provides for the registration
of aliens and for other impositions.
Section of this bill states tina,
every alien in the United States shall
within the time fixed by the president,
in a proclamation made by him, within
80 days after the enactment OF this
act register as provided in this act.
An alien under 16 years of age may be
registered by parent or guardian"
Section 4 OF the same bill states:
Upon the initial registration of each
alien who has reached the age of 21
years, he shall pay to the officer regis
tering him a fee Of $40, and for each
subsequent registration he shall pay
fee Of S."
Section OF this bill further pro.
vides that even temporary absence
from the district in which he is regis
tered must be reported, and com
plete statement of all his activities
must be made to a sMernmont official.

Section 6 provides that he (the for
eign born) shall on demand exhibit
his certificate of Identification to any
one of the department of justice, or
the department of labor, or any other
officer designated by the president.
Recall the hysterical days of the late
war and viciousuess of this section
becomes at once apparent.
Section 10 empowers the president
to require all or anyrpart of the aliens
to report at such time and such places
as he shall fix.
The foreign born constitute a ma
jority Of the workers employed in the
basic industries. The low wages they
receive and the oppressive conditions
under which they labor have in the
past, and will again in the future,
drive them to strike. With the arbi-
trary power placed in the hands of the
president by this section, the presi-
dent can break any strike, by the sim
pie expedient of requiring the aliens
who are striking to report at a time
and place which he shall fix" Re-
fusal to obey carries with it deporta-
ton.
Section IL authorizes the secretary
Of labor to empower anyone to enter
any place and demand any informa-
ton necessary to carry out the pro-
visions Of this act, and to arrest or

detain any persons who refuse him
entry or refuse to give such informa-
ton.
Section 20 provides that any for
eign-born worker violating the pro
visions of this act shall be fined up
ward of $4,000 or imprisoned upward
to two years, and upon completion of
the sentence shall be Immediately
taken into custody and Immediately
deported
This legislation is a direct threat
against the entire working class of
this country. 1t is a threat against
the trade-union movement 1t would
drive a wedge between the foreign
born and the native workers. 1t would
segregate the foreign-born and, under
the threat of deportation, use them
as club to batter down the standard
Of living.
Workers Of the United States, do
your part in defeating this vicious
Legislation. Remember that this bill
is only one of number of similar ma
ture. Do not allow yourselves to be
divided along nationalistic lines.
The bill is blow at American as
we'll as foreign-born workers. Answer

just now the reuS OF New 1OTh
City" could use the official organ of
the U. M. w. A. is a mystery to which
it appears Editor Searles alone holds
the key. He might at least have spe-
Gifted just when and how such at
tempts were made.
Editor Searles Is alarmed. Some
one else besides the Lewis machine
mas the ear Of the membership. He
says:
Active, aVowed Communists have
been and are holding meetings in
various sections of the country,
preaching their doctrine of destruc-
ton Of the United Mine Workers as
trade union. Some of these Com
munists have delivered speeches in
District 1, of the anthracite region
and elsewhere.
EDITOR SEARLES must have de-
~ struction on the brain. In the
first place the U. M. w. A. is not a
"trade union" but an Industrial
union" 1t takes in all workers in and
around the mines, whether they be
miners, machinists, boilermakers, cleo
tricians or engineers. 1t is impossible
to destroy the U. M. w. A. as a trade
union because it is an industrial union
"a form Of organization of which
Communists approve and for which
they are working in other unions.
What the Communists are seeking
to destroy is the operators influence
in the union and the deadening in
fluence of the Lewis machine and
methods in the union.
Editor Searles must have rather
barren sources of information, since
he is able to mention only the anthra-
cite specifically as place where Com
munists are working for the Save
the Union program and ticket.
THERE are many Communists in
the United Mine Workers and they
are active in the union, as they are in
all unions. They want strong, fight
ing unions with honest and able lead
ership so that the wages of the work
ers can be raised, job control estab-
lished, the workers trained in the
school of class-conscious unionism and
the mass power of the workers or
ganized to take control of industry
and government in the interests of the
workers as a class.
Editor Searles does not believe in
the working class or in workers and
farmers government. 1t is for this
reason that he denounces every step
of the rank and file of the miners
union to better understanding of the
class struggle and more control Of
their union as destructive"
What Editor Searles means is de-
structive to agents of the bosses in
the unions, to capitalism and wage
slavery.
Editor Searles is opposed to the de-
struction of these things, and conse-
quently he is opposed to the interests
Of the U. NJ. w. A. membership.

except one man, whose name APP
pears as dummy editor. This man
claims to be a member of the union,
but he has no standing in the United
Mine Workers of America.
The miner whose name appears as
dummy editor" is Frank Keeney, for
mer president of District II, West
Virginia, the man who led the min
ers' march in 1922, who was framed-up
by the coal barons of West Virginia
and tried for murder
This is the man whom Ellis Searles,
whose experience in the struggles of
the union consists of drawing his pay
check from the international union,
says, "has no standing in the union"
WE doubt if Searles would dare to
w make this statement to Frank
KGeney's face or to any meeting Of
rank and file miners. He would not
dare to make it in the West Virginia
fields to miners who were left to their
fate by the Lewis machine after one
OF the most heroic struggles in the
history of the American labor move
ment.
The article continues:
In addition to The Coal Miner
the same outfit has Issued PAM
phIet entitled, "A Larger Program
for the Miners Union" The
name of John 5rophy appears on
the front page as the writer of the
pamphlet =. The pamphlet makes
a violent attack on the principles
and policies of the United Mine
Workers of America.
T HAVE read this pamphlet as it has
L appeared in The Coal Miner, and
nowhere can be found an attack on
the principles and policies of the
United Mine Workers of America"
There is, however, very able criti-
cism of the policies of the Lewis ma
chine and of the methods by which
they are carried out.
But since when has John /. Lewis
been the United Mine Workers of
America?
In addition to criticism, the pam
phlet advocates the same program for
the union as does The Coal Miner, and
to which we Nave seen Editor Searles
can have no possible objection if he
wants the u M. w. A. to be the union
Of all the coal miners on this CONT
nent.
THEN Editor Searles becomes indig-
L nant because John Brophy criti-
cizes him because no opinion contrary
to that held by the Lewis machine is
allowed to get into the official journal
Of the union, which is paid for by the
miners-and not by Editor Searles.
1t is notorious that no rank and file
expression on policy ever finds its
way into thu journal. Editor Searles
tries to wade this criticism by as
sorting that ''the reds of New York
City" have tried to use the Journal
for the promotion of their destructive
schemes"

United Mine Workers. AS matter
of fact, many of them, like nationals

dorsed by the U, M. w. A. in conven

The editor of the United Mine

tainly knows, because they are no
secret, They are published in two
boxes in the upperE corner OF the first
page of The Coal Miner.

VIII the editor of the United Mine
Workers Journal please explain to a
waiting world, and especially to coal
miners, how these policies would de-
stroy the union within one year?"
rs the editor of the United Mine
L Workers Journal opposed to mo
wage cut?" To organizing the non
union fields? To cleaning out corrup-
tionists? To honest elections? To
abohshing influence of the coal opera
tors in the union? To union job con-
troll? To democracy in the union?
If the editor of the United Mine
Workers Journal is such a stickler for
"the ideals of the trade union move
ment," why does he say that labor
party and naturalization Of the coal
mines, endorsed by conventions of the
U. NJ w A., would destroy the
union?"
MTE know, of course, that the editor
w of the Journal is opposed to the
reinstatement of Alex Howat and all
others unjustly expelled. 1t is to be
expected he would be, never having
belonged to a union and being simply
a hired agent of John L. Lewis, for
whom he works the same as he
worked for the capitalist press before
he got his present job.
But he will find it rather hard to
prove how the Reinstatement of Alex
Howat would destroy the union. The
Kansas miners, 80 per cent of whom
nominated Howat for district presi-
dent this year, do not think it would.
