SECRET FINGER
PRINT ORDER IS
ISSUED BY DOAK
Sneaks Thru Vicious
Measure Against
Foreign-Born
PART OF NEW DRIVE
Demand Miss Perkins
Withdraw Order

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Before
stepping out of office, Secretary of
Labor Doak has Sneaked through
with out authorization by Congress, a
new vicious measure directed against
the foreign-born. This is a secret
order, sent through the Immigration
Bureau in Washington, requiring the
fingerprinting of all aliens arriving in
the United States for permanent res
idence, including all those who have
lived here as permanent residents
and have gone abroad for visits.
This order is a long first step
towards the fingerprinting of all for
eign-born in this country, a measure
that would hit especially at militant
foreign-born workers, placing them
under direct supervision OF the po-
lice and federal agents.
Pass the Buck.
Doak was considered embarrassed
when news of his secret order leaked
out, and pretended to be uncertain
about the whole matter. He said he
favored fingerprinting, but I'm not
sure the order has been issued. The
subject has been under discussion for
some time, but I'm not sure Of its
status at the moment"
Commissioner General Harry E.
Hull also played dumb and passed
the buck to Doak. Edward Corsi,
Commissioner of immigration at FL
lis Island, admitted, however, that
the order had been issued.
Doak and his colleagues are also
considerably worried over the fact
that they fear that wealthy foreign
ers coming here will raise g howl over
being fingerprinted. They are trying
to dope out ways to let the dough
boys get by and confine the finger
printing to workers, farmers and
small business people.
Part of New Drive.
1t is probable that this new order
was worked out in collaboration with
the incoming democratic administra
ton as part of a new drive against
the foreign-born. Workers organi-
cations and other sympathetic groups
are urged to send protests at once to
the new Secretary of Labor, Miss
Frances Perkins, demanding that she
withdraw this vicious order immedi-
ately and halt the Doak policy OF
wholesale deportation and persecu-
ton Of the foreign-born.

Cincinnati Cops Attack
MISUNDERSTANDING

CINCINNATI, O.-Three workers,
two white male comrades and Negro
woman comrade, were returning from
meeting in the West End. While
walking together, they were stopped
by two policemen and were ques-
toned. The police wanted to know
why these workers were together and
insulted the Negro woman worker for
being with white workers. They also
told the white workers that they
have no pride" for walking with a
Negro woman. The police tried to
take the Negro comrade to the police
station, but the support from the
white workers made the police let
her go.
The Director of Public Safety, John
Blandford, has instructed the police
force to destroy the unity OF the
Negro and white workers In this city.
The answer to the city police off,
cials is for greater unity between the
Negro and white workers in the
struggle against the bosses.
