Wearing a Nevada Smile

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-One
OF this bureaus favorite foot
ball coaches and sports figures
is in our town these days. But
it may be that he is travelling
incognito. A frantic search
throughout yesterday afternoon
and evening failed to disclose
his exact whereabouts, although
he was variouSly reported as in
Westminster county, visiting the
Aquarium, and attending a
meeting of the Nevada Society
in town hall.
An attendant at the Aqua
rum later verified the report
that he had been seen there,
and added that he was looking
for the sucker who told him
that the Nevada football team
was a soft touch.
The man I am referring to
Is Edward Patrick (Slip) Madi-
gan, head coach of the st.
Mary's football team and the
most popular visiting gridiron
mentor our town has known
since Knute Rockne was the
toast of Broadway.
Heads Enemy Team
Unfortunately Madigan is here
this year not only as the head
man of an invading enemy team,
but also as a fugitive from Ne
vada justice. It was less than
a week ago that he was, as the
Broadway columnists put it,

Committee Urges All Foreign

3, 200, 900 Citizens in New York State Are Told
Only the Communist Party Fights
Daily for Their Interests

Aug. 10 last, signed a bill to bar
on-citzens from positions as regis
tered nurses. President Roosevelt,
Frances Perkins, Governor Lehman
and Mrs. O'Day are all a part of
the ruling forces in America which
intend to continue to divide and
rule.
1.-The Committee for Protection
of Foreign-Born, which Is fighting
these cases of deportation and for
the return of citizenship to Emil
CARLOS; which fights against all
discrimination and persecution OF
the foreign-born and for the right
of asylum in America for political
refugees from reactionary govern
ments, finds that of all political
parties only the Communist Party
supports the fight for full economic,
social and political equality for the
foreign-born.
Oppression Is Fought
"The second point in the Com
munist election platform calls for
struggle against deportation and
oppression of the foreign-born.
"Of all the candidates for gov
ernor, only Israel Amter, the Com
munist candidate, has fought for
full equality for the foreign-born.
The Unemployment Councils, Of
which Anter is the national secre-
tary, fight a day-to-day struggle to
defeat discrimination against the
foreign-born in unemployment re-
lief.
1.-THE Committee for Protection Of
the Foreign-Born urges these masses
to vote for the candidates of the
Communist Party and to help build
a mighty mass movement against
deportation and persecution of the
foreign-born. The Recommended
tons of Mrs. O'Day are only part
of the trickery of Frances Perkins.
Only united struggle of native and
foreign-born, Negro and white can
solve the problems of 'underprivi-
legged groups and build a society in
which there will be no persecution
of minorities."

Declaring that of all the political
parties who are appealing to the
100000 foreign-born citizens in
New York State for votes in the
coming election, the Communist
Party is the only party that fights
for their interests, the Committee
for the Protection of the Foreign
Born yesterday urged all foreign
born citizens to vote Communist on
Nov. 6. The statement of the Com
mittee follows in part:
''The census of 1880 counted more
than fourteen million foreign-born
in the United States. With their
families they constitute about one
third of the population. More than
eight million of them are citizens
About 100000 of the foreign-born
live in New York State.
Realizing the political impor-
lance of this section of the popu-
lstion, Governor Lehman, Senator
Copeland, and Caroline ODay, a
candidate for Representative at
Large, addressed meeting of nat
uralized citizens on Oct. 1s, asking
them to vote for the Democratic
candidates.
Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins, in her telegram to Governor
Merriam during the San Francisco
general strike made one of the most
vicious attacks upon the foreign
born ever made by a Secretary of
Labor in a public statement. She
promised the cooperation of the De-
partment of Labor with California
officials to the full extent author
lied by law in deporting the for
eign-born workers who were tax
ing part in the strike.
At the present time foreign-born
workers all over the United States
are being held for deportation for
strike activity. In Seattle, Portland,
San Francisco, New Mexico, Texas,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York
the immigration agents have been
particularly busy in rounding up
militant workers.

We have in New York the "honor"

We have these bankers and big in
dustriaists in our midst, but they
have us under their feet. If one
counts the millionaires living in New
York, it certainly is the richest city
in the world. But if one judges
New York from the masses of the
exploited population, then it GER
tainly is one of the most poverty
stricken, slum-ridden cities in the
world.
We have the large Negro city,
Harlem, with the slums, misery, dis
elimination, oppression and millions
of foreign-born who suffer a similar
fate.
Unemployed workers go hungry
while bankers further enrich them
selves. Families of workers are
evicted from their homes, while the
big housing corporations, controlled
by the bankers, swell their divi-
dendS.
The exploitation in the factories,
the direct or indirect taXes-are all
for the benefit of the banks, for
the millionaires, for the big trusts.
