Hindu Worker Beats
Deportation Charge

PATERSON, N. j., April 7.--One
of u Hindu workers arrested last
August in Paterson, N. j., as a re-
suit of labor activities has won his
right to stay in the United States.
The government sought to deport
the men on the ground that they
had overstayed temporary permits.
Mohib ALI was able to prove that
he entered the country prior to 1924,
when the law governing temporary
permits was not in effect. Alli's

Unofficial adviees from the conf

recommendation but would merely
report "the facts" The facts are
that Huston took some $4,000 of

treated it as though it were bride.
Raskob is proved to have con-
tributed about $4,000 to the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition Act,

speeded up to the limit, draining

Fascist Screen for Police.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars

Of the organization that is to take in
all fascist patriotic organizations, is
being put forward as a smokescreen
for the police of New York. They
announce that they have held con-

The workers of New York will
not be robbed of their May Day SO

fight for the right of the workers
to demonstrate. The rising spirit in
the shops for strike on May Day,

the next answer to the pompous
threat that Union Square will be
taken away from the workers on
May Day.
Workers of New York and the
entire country: Protest against the
attempts of the fascist supported
by the police to take away Union
Square from the workers on May
Day! LIP all working class organ

demning the fascist and demanding

mobilize the 1Uorkers of NeaU Yorl;
for the strike on May Day together

The right of the workers to use
Union Square is no longer a local
matter. Union Square has become
a center of struggle between the
workers and the fascist. The work
ers all over the country must an

The District Commissioners to-

whom he later learned to be
Swortzel, visited house in the
1900 block First st. N. w. CrottS
and Elgin remained in the house
only few moments, it was
declared, and then sat in a car
outside waiting for Swortzel.
Gravely and his fellow-officer,
William F. Burke, charge that
the trio attempted to .extort
money from Rose Marie Foster,
alleged inmate of the house, and
that CrottS was shot when
Gravely tried to arrest him.
Crotts testified that he had
walked about half a block, and
then had run two or three
steps" when he was shot. He said
he did not know who shot him.
He added that he ran because
he feared holdup when the
officers drove up, as he did not
know they were policemen.
Elgin'S testimony was much
the same as that of Crotts. He
declared that the taxi-driver, Nc
Vey, had directed them to the
house as one where they could
meet some girls, but that he and
Crotts left when they discovered
that it was a diSorderly house.

Whereas, recent attempts Ey

projects.
No protest will be made, it was
said, on the use of out Of town
contractors in erecting buildings
for the Federal government.
On Local Work
Every builder throughout the
country should have an oppor-
tunity Of bidding on Federal con-
tracts, the local men believe, but
when it comes to purely local
buildings, for which the taxpayers
Of the Capital are to pay, they
are firm in their belief that these
structures should be erected by
local concerns, who win keep the
money in Washington.
They claim out of town builders
are bidding on school houses and
fire houses, when these structures
should be done by local con-
tractors.
Bill in House
Representative Sproul, Of IlM-
noiS, himself one of the big con-
tractors Of the Middle West, has
introduced a bill in the House,
which has the support of local
builders.
This bill specifies that all g6g-
ernment work be paid for by
the contractors at the rate of
wages which prevails in the
locality in which the building is
being erected.
This measure, if enacted. local
builders say, will drive out Of
Washington many Of the out of
town contractors who are paying
low wages to their men.
