A bill for more vicious persecu-
tion Of the aliens in the United

Hamilton Fish of New York, the

mittee. The bill provides that the
federal government, which refusea
to give relief to the unemployed
should appropriate another $780,
600 in order to increase the per-
secution Of the aliens in the Unit
ed States.
The apparatus which would be
set up under this bill would in

tary in the Department Of Labor
who would head this persecution
and deportation agency. There
would be under the terms Of ths
