framed on the basis of an anonymous
deposition Of certain Krukov an ex-
officer Of Kolchak, who informed the
chief of police that, Refining possessed
a "fiye-pointed Communist star" and
that Rikko is said to have "wept when
Lenin died"
From the first day of the trial il
became apparent that despite the eff

on in its voluntary" train as follows
Such certificate shall be valid

The workers who, by accident, did

been unable to become citizens are
to be forced by the threat of denial

This gentleman" from the city of
Detroit, Michigan, has introduced
the most insidious and in fact the
most dangerous anti-labor bill in the
Sixty-ninth Congress.
1t is less difficult to fight an open,
frank, above-board opponent, regard
less of how despicable or menacing
his plans may be than it is to struggle
against camoufaged, dishonest, cow

registration of all foreign-bOrn work

Sosnowski proposes to have the fore
ign-born worker register voluntarily"
An Open Shop Measure.
This is plainly a fraud. Let us ana

entry from foreign country was

grafton laws for permanent resi-
dence may apply to the immigra-
ton official in the district in which
he resides for registration. Upon
verification of such admission the
immigration official shall issue to
the alien a certificate that he is a

1t has been said that the purpose
Of language is to conceal thought If
ever this statement was true, it is
infinitely truer in this case. Beneath
this heavily-padded clause of "inno-
cence," there turks the gravest danger
to the workers.
First this slight" reference to
lawfully admitted" when translated
into reality simply means the taking
of new steps to deport foreign-born
workers. Let us suppose that work

States in a so-called irregular way.

Italy or Bloody Horthy's Hungary to

Vassiliev's name is also connected
with the horrible massacres near the

Murderer is Labor Minister"
Slaveiko vassiliev is the new min
lister of labor in Bulgaria. Before the
coup d'etat of the military league,
Vassiliev was the adiutant of the
Prime Minister Stamboulisky of the
peasants government and enjoyed his
full confidence. When Zankov gained
power and Stamboulisky escaped try
ing to save his life, ,Vassiliev under
took the leadership of the expedition
to arrest Stamboulisky. He returned
to Sofia triumphantly with the news,
that he managed to have Stamboulisky
arrested and shot while attempting
to escape" King Boris did not be-
lieve the reports of Vassiliev and
feared further trouble from SIAM
boulsky. Slaveiko Vassiliev therefore
cut the head off the dead body of
Stamboulisky, put it into leather bag
and brought it to the kings palace.
He showed this horrible sign of vic
tory and thus Gained the king.
