THE FISH-DIES BILL-A THREAT
TO ALL WORKERS
BY BARD

that the anti-anarchist law is serving the pur.
pose of deportation Communists. Then why
run wild? And give workers more cause for
complaint?
More Efficient Suppression.
But Congressman Bachman, member of the
Fish Committee, insisted that the anti-anarchist
law does not serve the purpose efficiently. And
then, the anarchists are not as bad as the Com
nunists, :" !. the Communist is thousand times
worse than anarchist. -. and therefore 1t Is
necessary to adjust ourselves to the newly ere
ated situation" Still La. Guardia has tried TO
convince, in vain, his colleagues that this bill
g. is intended to give any bigot, Or any
employer, or any minor official the power to
brand anyone Communist, make his own
definition and hook up, and then deport the
victim. :"
But Congressman Bachman wants the bill to
be passed because
q. Under present immigration law
Bachman agrees--a Communist may be de-
ported but 1T MUST BE PROVEN IN EACH
INDIVIDUAL CASE THAT HE is A MEM
Der OF OR AFFILIATED WITH AN Or
GANIZATION WHICH HAS FOR IT'S PUR-,
POSE THE OVERTHROW OF THE GOV.
EMINENT OF THE UNITED STATES By
FORCE AND VIOLENCE
AS you can see, the kind of bill that the Con-
gress wants is one by which it will not be neces.
sary to prove evidence in each and every case.
that She victim is or is not exactly working for
the solition of capitalism by force and violence.
BacltAlan voted for this bill because it makes pos
sible to deport one on the mere charge that he
is a Communist and Bachman did not conceal
his intention. He openly stated
SHOULD this bill under consideration become
law, Communist may be deported on his adj
mission or proof that he Is Communist or
affiliated with the Communist organization ;"
If this bill becomes law it will be similar to
the laws existing under the former governments
in Russia which prosecuted one on the mere
charge by anybody that he was Communist.
This bill is directed not only against the alien
workers but against the working class as whole
The congress has made another step towards
speedy march to faScisnn. That this is true Ia
confirmed in the speech by Mr.. Blanton from
Texas Read it: Nov the time has come when
ought to stop putting on our ballots any Com
munist ticket in decent American elections
Why do not our parties stop H..
The American working class must be shown
that this bill is
-. to suppress the right Of workers to pro-
tect themselves in accordance with the law =
LA Guardia's reply to Congressman Green)
1t is true that what La Guardia says Is ale
ready known to the workers, but La Guardia's
view in connection with this bill emphasized the
dissatisfaction of the masses in the industrial
centers. We must mobilize them and force the
Senate to reject this bill which is the first step
to more open outrageous terror against the en-
tire American working class.
How to Organize the Fight.
In these coming elections it must clearly be
pointed out before the workers that in order to
weaken the reactonary front there is only one
way QUITO vote for the candidates Of the Com.
munist Party which will defend the interests Of
the American workers with tooth and nail.
What should be done now?
l. Each and every organization to wire . pro.
test to the Senate against this bill.
2. Demonstrations Of tens of thousands OF
workers to be organized by the Protection OF the
Foreign Born Committee and the international
Labor Defense in all industrial centers.
g. Mass meetings and open-air meetings where
protest resolutions are adopted and sent TO the
Senate.
Protest resolutions and kilograms from shops
addressed to the Senate.
1t is above all necessary to build up strong
united front against the intimidation and per-
secution of the foreign born
