AMERICAN
HELD FOR DEPORTATION

NEW YORK. - Josephine Seppi,
%, who came here as a non-quota
immigrant in 1881 and derived
American citizenship through her
father when she reached the age of
q, is facing deportation to Italy,
charged with being in the country
illegally although she entered the
country legally by virtue of her
fathers citizenship, according to in
formation received here today by
the American Committee for Protec-
ton of Foreign Born.
Her father, Joseph, came here in
1922 and became a naturalized citi-
zen in 1927. In 1881 he left for Italy
to bring his wife and two other chill
dren to this country, selling his prop
erty and putting his money into an
Italian bank. The bank failed,
leaving Joseph stranded in Italy.
On March 16, 1887, Joseph's natur-
alization certificate was cancelled
because he didn't return to this
country within 2 years of his de-
parture. Josephine was arrested and
held for deportation, the Labor De-
partment claiming she lost her citi-
zenship when her fathers natural
ization was cancelled and that she
was in the country illegally for the
same reason.
The Labor Departments actions
are being contested in the federal
courts by the Committee for the De-
tense of Italian Immigrants, which
has retained Ira Gollobin, New York
attorney, to represent and defend
Josephine.

PROGRAM FINDS STARS
THROUGH UNUSUAL MAP

NEW YORK.-A talent map OF the
world, which tells instantly where
virtually every major artist can be
found on any given day, is one OF
the many unusual adjuncts of the
Magic Key of RCA program that is
broadcast each Sunday at 200 p. m,
EST, over the Blue Network of the
National B~roadcasting Company.
The map, which strictly speaking,
is not a map at all but a small sheaf
of papers in the form of a book, is
a very necessary adjunct to the
planning Of the Magic Key program.
1t is made up by the artists them
selves, since rarely does any artist
of note leave his regular address
without letting the managers of the
Magic Key of RCA know where he
will be in the future.
The map shows not only the To-
cation of artists, but also the loca-
ton Of events of interest the world
over that may be worthy of presen-
tation. The event must be of un-
usually high quality and of interest
to everyone before it can be ac-
cepted by the strict Magic Key
program board.
An example of how the map OPP
crates may be seen in the South
American tour of the great Negro
contralto, Marian Anderson. She
sang several months ago for the
Magic Key from Philadelphia. She
left almost Immediately for South
America, reporting her itinerary to
NBC. Weeks later she was heard
again, this time from Buenos Aires.

Three-Man Wrestle Royal Head.
lines the Gard.

Three men in the ring at the same
time, and what men, Wildcat Pete,
Speedy Warren and King Kong Clay
ton will battle it out to see who can
be eliminated. After one man is
eliminated then the two survivors
will wrestle the main event to an
eight ten-minute round contest with
the man securing two falls out Of
three being declared the winner.
Just who will gang up on who
remains to be seen. As in a wrestle
royal of this kind anything can hap
pen.
Another spectacular event will pit
the Red Shadow against Jack Bren-
tano. The Red Shadow is the pest
who continually climbed into the
ring at last weeks matches and in
sisted on wrestling anyone in the
house for absolutely nothing, declar-
ing he not only will wrestle one man
but any two men.
He gets his chance because he de-
clared if not given a match he will
come up until the fans demand his
appearance, so the promoters felt
they might just as well give him a
trial.
Another newcomer this week will
bring Al Christopolis, a big Greek
boy from New York City who trav-
eled and trained with Jim Browning
when the latter was the worlds
heavyweight champion. While AL is
still a lad he knows plenty about
the game and in meeting the Noun
tain Hermit he tackles as tough a lad
as has shown here.
Another capacity house is expected
and it is advised to get your seats
early.

man who refused a pardon to Sacco
and Vanzetti, had hoped to be vice
president with Herbert Hoover. In
that he was blocked by Sen. Borah
and Sen. Burton. He then aspired
to the job Of U. S. Ambassador to
Paris but the French government re-
fused to guarantee his safety on ac-
count of his role in the case. Fuller
passed into obscurity.
Fred Katzmann, the district at
torney who counted on riding to
fame over the bodies Of Sacco and
Vanzetti, lost his balance and at last
reports was maintaining a guard
around his home. Judge Thayer,
the sour-souled judge who presided
so prejudicially in the case, became
a broken down old man, talking in
~eessantly to anyone who would listen
about the case. His dreams of po-
litical grandeur, too, faded and he
passed away unnoticed.
It is not some strange, mystic
power that has brought these men
to their deserved end. 1t is the
might of labor and the crude but
strong sense of justice that resides
in the mass of American people
which has brought these men to
their deserts.
Some day, perhaps, those little
brothers of the rich, keen and will
ing to do their masters bidding in
the hope some plum will be dropped
into their gaping mouths, will learn
that there is a price to pay for franz
ing labor's leaders and numbering,
no matter how judicially, men from
labor's ranks.
Labor's memory is not short and
Sacco and Vanzetti stand as symbols
in the struggle to organize and Sc
cure some of the better things of
life which labor creates. Tom Moo
ney and Warren Billings stand at
the edge of complete vindication
while their trainers have died or
passed into oblivion and the scorn
of decent mankind.
In the fate of Mooney and Billings
and Sacco and Vanzetti's prosecutors
can be read the future of Commits
sioner Altman. and Capt. James Moo
ney of the Chicago police.

Montana Labor News:
Last spring l received some copies
of your paper. l planned to write
you at that time, but have been too
busy. 1 had to keep the water run
ming.
l have recently read the editorial
in the September issue of Common
Sense. They might have the right
plan, that is work with the Presi-
dent and the radicals in Congress
and push leftward. For years, l
have contended that the Democratic
party was hopeless, but if the Presi-
dent stands firm against the re-
dictionaries of his party, it may be
good policy for IS to stand by him.
All this time our two most i'm
portant detectives r % to get a
radical political organization to tunc-
tioning. ~ to get III educational
campaign for production, for use
under way. Wouldn't the American
Commonwealth Federation be the
better organization to accomplish
those purposes. We would then be
free to act politically, as circum-
stances might make advisable. We
could back a ticket in the Demo-
cratic primary or place the indie
pendent ticket in the field. The
Pacific coast states are using this
method and have an active Common
wealth Federation.
If we are going to do anything in
the campaign next year it is time we
got our organization started to work.
Would it be possible in the near
future to hold a conference of some
of the active radicals of the state
and make out plans?

ReactiOnary Groups Prepare
for Attack

AVA AttaJh
But unless all signs fail, we will
have to pass through another de-
preston; employers will have fewer
orders on their books, and the eco
nomic pressure of labor will be much
less effective than it is today. When
that day comes, employers will try,
as they tried SO successfully in 1921,
to break the newly won power OF
labor organizations.
When that next depression hits,
there must be no OHIO GANG in
power in Washington; there must be
no wholesale use of injunctions
against labor; state and local gov
ernments must be ready to protect
must not be willing to aid in muir
dering-their working citizens.
But if we are to protect ourselves,
politically, we cannot depend on any
other power but our own organized
voting strength. We cannot rely
upon the politicians of either of the
old parties; we cannot rely upon the
sweet benevolence of liberal
friends; we cannot hope for pro-
lection from civic and commerce as
sociations nor from the theoretically
impartial courts when depression
turns loose upon us the wolves OF
the anti-labor gangs. When that day
comes we can depend only upon our
selves.

Labor Political Power Aid
to UniOnism

Where labor's political power has
been organized, and where govern
mental authorities recognize the
rights of labor, organization goes
forward rapidly and peacefully
where politicians under control of
the employers are at the head Of
government, labor halts-stumbles-
fights on under terrific handicaps.
Today, labor has some degree of
recognition at the national capital,
and in some of the industrial states,
labor's rights have some protection.
The forces of reaction are organizing
to gain control of those sections of
the country, and of the national gov
eminent, where labor has thus far
had at least an opportunity for a
hearing.
Union sentiment among the masses
of the workers, and the attitudes OF
the Roosevelt administration and
some state and local governments,
make this a golden opportunity for
labor organization. And labor is
taking advantage of that opportu-
nifty.

Employers Use Government
Forces Against Workers

Labor's right to organize and to
bargain collectively-the right to
strike and the right to picket-these
rights are being denied every day
somewhere in industrial America. In
these economic struggles, men are
being driven from picket lines,
strikes are being broken, men are
being murdered-because LABOR
HAS NOT ORGANIZED POLITI-
.CALLY TO PREVENT CONTROL
OF CITY AND STATE GOVERN
.MENT BY EMPLOYERS.
The power of government-the
power that RIGHTLY BELONGS
no THE WORKERS-has been
seized by employers, and is being
used to deny all civil rights, to block
all efforts of the workers for better
ment of their wages and working
conditions.
