REPORT STATES
TARIFF ON PEAS
To BE REDUCED

Reduction in the tariff on peas
is imminent, according to word re-
ceived today from the American
Farm Bureau Federation in Wash
ington, by Scott B. Foulds, secre-
tary of the local farm bureau.
Pressure has been brought to
bear on the tariff commission to re-
duce the tariff both on peas and
tomatoes, products which are grown
locally and which can not COM
pete with those grown in Mexico,
on cheap land and by cheap labor,
1t there is not tariff. Local grow
ers are agitated over the proposed
reductions and are preparing to
send protests to Washington.
According to the American Farm
Bureau, there is less danger of a
reduction on tomatoes, than on
peas, although under the sliding
scale provision, the tariff commits
sion may reduce duty on any ar
ticle so per cent. This would mean
q reduction from three cents To
one and a half cents in the duty
en both peas and tomatoes.
Foulds has already lodged pro-
tests with Senator Samuel Short
ridge and Congressman Phil d.
Swing. and is communicating with
c. o. Hoober of the valley pea
growers association to urge that
organization TO prepare data for
further protests.

Thompson also was an eye wit

He asserted Karagouzian taunted
Mouzakis to shoot him, and declared
the Greek did not have the nerve to
do such a thing.
This testimony was offset today,
however, by that of another de

edly to questions asked in cross

trend they were taking, but his
objections we're overruled in most

Sophos, telling of the argument,
declared Mouzakis ordered Kara

when the latter declared he dld

him. They were separated, and il

morning were Bill Tackett, w. S.

BY }. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

IN its desperate efforts to overcome what Wall
Streets Commercial and Financial Chron-
icle" of January 3, calls, 1.-THE most dismal year
In the mercantile and financial history of the
United States the Washington government an
nounces immediate plans for the deportation of
100000 aliens.
This is the spearhead of the attack against
militant labor inspired by the notorious Fish
Committee Of the United States Congress that
has secretly developed its own political police"
for spying out foreign-born workers active in
the grovingly desperate struggles Of the Amer
lean working class.
The announcement of the wholesale deporta-
tions constituted the first public declaration
of the new secretary of labor in the Hoover
cabinet, William Doak, formerly legislative rep
resentatve or lobbyist of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
Doak Just Like Davis
The Hoover administration, driven frantic by
the results of the November elections and the
growing crisis. put forward Doak as the success
sor to James j. Davis, the Pittsburgh steel baron
banker and mine owner, as an effort to hoodwink
labor. Doak, the official of the railroad train
men already proves himself in action to be of
the same fascist breed as the Pittsburgh multi
millionaire, who for years paraded as secretary
of labor while leading in the campaign for the
registration. finger printing and deportation of
foreign born workers. Davis has now been pro-
NOTED and became senator from Pennsylvania,
where workers rot in prisons, serving up to five
year sentences, for struggling against the steel
and coal interests.
During the year 1881 the deportation pro-
gram will be quickly extended, since Secretary of
Labor Doak informs the United States Senate
that ut would appear fair estimate that there
are 100000 aliens illegally in the United States.
The 100000 are deportable under existing laws.
The congress now in session plans to strengthen
these laws with the special objective Of reach
ing every foreign-born worker AFFILIATED with
Working class organization. 1t is the special
ambition of the Fish Committee that has the
cosn-~cr,cnt of Secretary Of Labor Doak to
drive every foreign-born member of the Commu-
mist Party and the Trade Union Unity League
with its affiliated revolutionary trade unions out
OF the country.
Deportations by Wholesale
During the year $780, there were 1881 de-
porsations for all causes Needless to say those

were practically all workers. Last August there
was the wholesale deportation of $500 jobless
Mexicans, who had been sweated in the South
western states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
and California, until they were needed no longer
Then they were herded back across the Rio
Grande to old Mexico to become victims of the
economic depression in this Wall Street colony
In 1880, deportations that will be duplicated
many times in 1891, included workers from the
Oriental countries of China and Japan. as well
as Latin-A American countries, in addition to Eu-
ropeans.
Ellis Island the prison for aliens in the shadow
of the so-called Statue of Liberty" in New
York Harbor is always crowded with an endless
stream of exiles At frequent intervals de
portation special an 'alien prison train cross
eS the nation from Seattle to New York with
its human cargo of deportable "undesirables."
Recently such a train carried l150 victims
In order to speed up this process the Secretary
OF Labor, Doak, asks congress for power 10 au-
thorize his police agents over the land to sign
warrants of arrest. This means that foreign
born strike leaders all foreign-born workers &C
tive in unemployment demonstrations or hunger
marches, in fact foreign born workers active in
any working class activities, may be picked up
on sight, thrown into prison. and started on their
way out Of the country before help can reach
them from the International Labor Defense
American section of the International Red Add
For Right of Asylum
1t is difficult to tell just how many workers
have already been deported in this manner.
While fighting for the right of political asylum
in the United States the International Labor
Defense struggles through every resources to
save workers already doomed by Dollar Imper-
ialism to death at the hands of the bloody fas-
csms Of Italy, Jugo-Slavia, Hungary. China.
Spain, Venezuela and many other centers of
black reaction. Denial of jury trial. secret hear
ings, framed-up evidence, deliberately falsified
trsnslations of testimony given by prisoners in
foreign languages, these some Of the methods
used to secure quick deportations Of undesirable
aliens"
1t is exactly in this period that labor in the
United States on an increasing scale, irrespective
of color or nationality, native and foreign BORN
Negro and white, unite for the struggle against
deportations, for the right of political asylum,
against lynchings, for the right OF legal exist
ence OF revolutionary class organizations, for
amnesty for all class war prisoners.

HOLLYWOOD. November S.--Edwin
Burke is mighty good at dialogue, as
witness what he wrote for Bad Cir" "
but his dialogue ability doesn't aid him
much when he gets locked into the
bathroom. He found after his bath thir
morning that the inside knob had drou-
ped off the bath room door, and he
used his best dialogue in vain.
The doorknob incident was just a
bad break. But Burke's inability to OBJ
tain release from the bath room was due
to the carefree spirit OF Hollywood and
Hollywood's obstinacy in taking things
for granted.
Burke. a bachelor and a modest, re-
firing man. was not dressed for the
street. It wouldn't really have solved
the situation If he had been dressed for
the street, because his apartment is
four floors up. Still, he didn't like to
attract attention to his plight and his
attire. so for some time he manipulated
the disorganized doorknob and succeeded
merely in disorganizing 1t more. He
was due at the studio in IS minutes
He finally decided to call for help.
Passersby Are No Help.
Howling for help from bath room
window n by no means the sort OF
thing Burke would care to do II he
had his choice. But II he was reluctant
to hail the passersby, the reluctance of
the passersby to take his hail seriously
was a positive revelation Of the gay
heart which beats beneath Hollywood's
homspun vest and possibly Of its gay
family life as well.
"Heyl" Burke cried difadently when
the passersby had dwindled down to
one. No need to collect a crowd.
"Hey. Heyi" the pedestrian answered
with CHEEKY promptitude and passed
on.
"HiI" Burke accosted the next
stranger.
