The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-04-15

MARCH g. the day Of struggle against deport-
VAations, lynchings, discrimination, unified the
workers throughout the country against these
most vicious attacks Of the bosses government
Tens of thousands Of workers, not only foreign
born, but Negro and native white as well, de-
monstrated unitedly in the streets and meeting
halls. But these demonstrations were still not
wide enough to include the millions of workers
to smash the white terror raging all through the
country.
Our next task is to broaden and better or
sanEe the struggle. For this reason the Ma
tional Committee for the Protection of Foreign
Born supported by the League Of Struggle for
Negro Rights, International Labor Defense,
Trade Union Unity League and hundreds of
other workers and poor farmers organizations
regard the month of April as month for or
ganizng the struggle against deportations, lynch
ings and determinations All through the month
of April we shall have conferences of Organiza-
lions in every city, in every mining town all
through the United States. These conferences
must serve to mobilize wide masses for May Day
and the continuation of the struggle,
The terror against the foreign born aims to
divide and weaken the workingclass, so that the
struggles of the working class for Unemploy
ment relief, against wage cuts, against prepara-
tons for inlperialist war can be easily smashed,
this terror is continually growing. There are
such a great number of attacks upon the Or
CARNATIONS and institutions of the foreign born
and against the entire working class generally,
that it becomes difficult to give full picture
Of the wide offensive Of the ruling class.
1t will be sufficient, merely to enumerate the
main instances where the attacks upon the for
eign born directly hurt the whole working class.
The Yokinen case; the Federal government
0rIn reG
kinen. Finnish worker, because reversing his
former stand he came out decidedly for the
struggle against race prejudice, for the unity
of the Negro and white workers. In this case
the terTorization is used to divide the Negro
workers from the white workers
In Lawrence, Mass. in order to break down
the strike led by the National Textile Workers
Union, the government ordered the arrest of
Murdoch Devine, and Berldnan, leaders Of the
strike, and started deportation procedure against
them, even though two Of them were born in this
country.
Kassay, Hungarian worker of Akron, Ohio,
arrested on frame-up charges manufactured
against him that 'he intended to spit on several
riyets on the gigantic airship now being built
in Akron, in order to disable the Zeppelin"
This frame-up is aimed to lay the basis for a
still wider deportation drive against the foreign
born and an even sharper attack against the
Communist workers. since Kassay is a synpa-
tlzer of the Communist Party.
Louis Bebrics editor of the Hungarian work.
crs paper "Uj Elore," is under deportation pro-
cedurc at the request of the Fish Congressional
Committee for no other reason than that he
dared publicly state the aims of the Communist
Party in fighting for relief for the unemployed
for Negro Rights, for the defense of the Soviet
Union, etc.
Serio, an Italian revolutionary worker, who
came to this country a political refugee, is
to be turned over to the hangmen of Mussolini
FOR his fight against fascism, if we will not be
able to stop this action of the bosses govern
ment.
The, leaders of the oriental workers in this
country, like Lii and Wing, Chinese, and Ken
motsu, japanese workers, have been ordered to
be deported by the government.
In Portland, Oregon, II immigrant workers
had been taken in a raid on the Workers Cen
ter Hall and Is others against whom deporta-
ton procedure could not be started were also
arrested charged with Criminal Syndicalism"
Together with the Federal government local
organs for the persecution of foreign born are
being set up in the different cities, like the
Criminal Alien Bureau in New York City, where
one of the most corrupt city governments, which
shields the underworld and is part of it, rounds
up the foreign born workers under the pretext
of fighting gangsterism"
