Crusade for Recovery
Voted by Right 10
Work Congress

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - 'Initia-
ton of a relentless crusade for re-
covery' was unanimously voted by
l,2OO delegates to the National Right
to Work Congress following speeches
by Reps. Lee Geyer d., Calif.) and
John Coffee ID, Wash.) in the great
blue and gold Department of Labor
auditorium here.
Through the discipline of our
ranks and the powers of our vast
number, the organizations represent
ed in this congress should have as
its goal the object of welding to-
gether the organized labor move
ment the struggling merchants and
small business men who are depend
ent upon the purchasing power of
the majority of the American people,
the farmers, whose economic well
being is so closely related to that of
the city workers and the millions
Of unemployed and WPA workers, -
the resolution declared.
"As united group we can turn
back the tide of reaction and bring
this rich and bountiful country of
ours back into a land of prosperity
and economic security for ALL" it
asserted.
I'VE must forge ahead on the pro-
gram of assuring every man and
woman in the United States their
right to work and thereby guarantee
ing as their American birthright,
security through useful work." the
resolution said.
The congress met after having re-
pulsed frantic attempts on the part
of tories in the Congress in the Capt.
tol to deprive them Of their speakers
and their meeting place. Attempts
were made to get Secretary of In
terror Harold Ickes to rescind per-
mission to use the Labor department
auditorium While messages were sent
to the White House urging that Mrs.
Roosevelt be not permitted to speak.
Both Mrs. Roosevelt and Ickes
stuck to their guns, however, and
plans call for Mrs. Roosevelt to
speak to the delegates, who arrived
here by bus, car, day coach and
hitch-hiking, few hours before she
is to ride in state to the Union Sta
ton to greet other visitors, the King
and Queen of England.
In addition to passing resolutions,
delegates to the congress spent time
in the Capitol informing their rep
resentatives of the relief situation in
their home districts and impressing
upon them the need for adequate
relief appropriations.
In answer to the House commit
tees investigation of the WPA, the
right to work congress set up its own
investigating committee to examine
the records and actions of the men,
bers of the House committee.

the new leadership that came into
power in 1886. The old populist
leaders who sought a solution for the
farm problem with the panacea of
cheap money have been largely re-
placed by a new generation working
toward a cooperative or socialist
society. They have been instru-
mental in forming scores of coopera-
tives, militantly pro-labor and anti
war.
Serious internal struggles marked
the shift. The former populist lead
ers were opposed to the friendly
approach to labor and the coopera-
tive movement. Grouped around
former Pres. E. E. Kennedy, who
has been closely allied with Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin and his Union
Party, they were able to muster only
six votes at the convention.
The Michigan and Minnesota divi-
sions of the Farmers Union were
wrecked during the struggle. Their
charters were revoked by the Madi-
son convention, which directed the
national executive board to rebuild
both state organizations.
In the realm of cooperatives the
Farmers Union has made important,
though little-known, progress during
the past decade. In Oklahoma,
Colorado, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and on
smaller scale in some other states
the union operates local and terminal
grain elevators, creameries, poultry
and livestock marketing agencies,
credit unions and insurance com
panies.
Officers for the coming year, all
reelected unanimously, are: Presi-
dent, John Vesecly, Kansas; vice
president, H. G. Keeney, Nebraska;
secretary y-treasurer, J. M. Graves,
Oklahoma; directors, George A. Mel
son, Wisconsin; M. R. Miller, Mis-
souri,; ]. o. Patton, Colorado; Morris
Erickson, North Dakota; and Emil
Lorika, South Dakota.
The Chicago Tribune took note of
the convention by labelling the
Farmers Union leaders racketeers
and known Communists" The dele
gates, to the accompaniment of pro-
longed cheering, vowed that I'VE
never in our lives will again read
a Chicago Tribune"

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
LEGALIZING ENTRY INTO
UNITED STATES

O.: l was born in Philadelphia,
Pa. When I was 49, went to Canada
to visit relatives. While in Canada,
in 1920, I married a naturalized
Canadian citizen. Two years later,
my husband, myself, and my son,
who was born in Canada, crossed
the border and we went to my home
town in Pennsylvania, where we now
live. Some time ago, / found out
that because 1 married an alien be-
fore September %, 1922, l lost my
American citizenship and because
we failed to pay So head tax when
we crossed the border all three of
us are in the country illegally. An
immigration officer told me that the
only way to become citizens, is to
return to Canada and enter the
United States with immigration visas.
We proceeded to Canada but when
we arrived at the border, the Cana
dian officer refused to let us enter,
stating that was not a Canadian
citizen and my husband had lost his
Canadian citizenship by being alb
sent too long from Canada. Please
advise US if there is anything we
can do to legalize our entries and
become American citizens.
A.: Since you were born in the
United States and you are now living
in the United States, you may file
form 22l4 duplication for second
papers), accompanied by two photo
graphs, size by 2. There will be
$5 fee When you have your
papers, you will be entitled to fill out
Petition for Issuance of Immigra-
ton Visa (form 633) in behalf of
your husband and son. They will
then be permitted to 60 to Canada
and enter the United States legally.
After period of three years your
husband will be able to file an appli-
cation for final papers. If your son
returns to the United States before
his sixteenth birthday, he will be a
citizen of the United States when
he reaches 81. If not, he will have
to become naturalized by following
the regular procedure.
CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRY
c.: l came to the United States
in 1898 from Germany but I do not
remember the name of the boat. l
am unable to prove that l entered
in that year nor do l know anyone
who knows me that long How can
l become an American citizen?
A.: Fill out certificate of regis
try, proving that you have been re-
siding in the United States since at
least prior to June 3, 1921. When
this is granted you will be eligible
to apply for first papers

men were still hopeful that produc-
ton, then at four days week, would
go to five days in April. This is
April, and it is back at three days
and we cannot expect it to remain
there too long. The dark days are
back again.
The Wall Street Journal admits
that all the cars the men were
making on the 4-day schedule have
simply gone into dealers stocks.
Production has been geared to a
80, 000-car- -a-week rate for months.
The industry has known all along
that over a quarter Of this volume
of production was not being sold
But it was gambling on spring sales.
Today, with the spring selling
season under way, the stock of new
cars amounts to 100000 units-just
about where it stood in the fatal
spring of 1887 before business was
forced into its great collapse. Used
car inventories are no better. In
fact the dollar value of used cars
to the conclusion voluntarily abdi-
was in 1887 because most of the cars
the dealers have been accepting as
trade-ins are 1875 and 1938s.
AS the low volume of auto finan-
cling shows, only the upper layers
Of the population-the people who
always have money for new car
have been buying 1889 models, pay
ing cash and turning in last years
cars. The dealers have thus become
simultaneously loaded with new cars
and with high-priced used cars.
The mass of the retail car buying
public simply lacks the money to get
back into the game. And now en-
ployment is going back where it
came from while the new surplus is
worked off so the game can start up
again in the autumn.
So, while the senate argues over
100000 for five months-$10,000
600 month-the national income is
getting ready to be cut by billions.
Steel, auto parts, glass, rubber and
all the rest face a new slump. It

house then to the north was a one
story wooden farmhouse, y mile
away occupied by Thomas Dove.
The erecting of the Winfield
Scott Statue at the intersection of
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
avenues in 1874, had its influence in
building up this neighborhood.
Senator James Donald Cameron be-
ing one of the pioneer residents here
when he built the palatial home on
the northeast corner of Sixteenth
street and Rhode Island avenue
about 1881. This house has for a
long while been the residence of
Mrs. Henry T. Dimock.
The house opposite, at 1901
Massachusetts, avenue, was erected
about the same time as the Dimock
residence by Senator William VIM
dom, who was President Garfields
Secretary of the Treasury. 1t was
later. occupied for many years by
the Charles A. Mum family.
Number 1903, which adjoins the
Mum residence, was the home OF
Stilson Hutchins. founder of the
Washington Post. Some Of the
house numbers in this square or the
one to the west may have been
changed since they were recorded
in the city directory as early as
1885. but since that time the direc-
tories indicate that Senator Orville
H. Platt resided at 1925 and Zebulon
B. Vance at 1907.
In the 100. square, at. No. 1701

had been discovered. In the dark
of the next midnight Capone and 50
other dangerous or incorrigible pris-
oners were hurried on their way to
the newly finished American Devils
Island" in San Francisco Bay.
At their destination they remained
in manacles while the car was moved
onto waiting barge. A Coast Guard
cutter, guns ready, hovered near as
the barge moved to the Alcatraz
Dock.
Since that day Capone has been
completely shut off from his public
and applause"
He has achieved reputation as
a model prisoner, but he has been
involved in several brawls, one of
which, officially confirmed, gave him
one more scar, this time on his back.
That happened on a June day in
1896. James c. Lucas, Texas bank
robber, seized a pair of scissors
from the prison barber shop and
plunged one blade into AIS back.
Capone turned and sent Lucas reel
ing with blow of his fist, then was
led away to the hospital. r..
Roy Gardner, mail robber released
in 1888, related that he had a fight
with Capone. He said it followed one
of Capone's "hell nights sleep
less nights of prisoners. As they
lined up for breakfast, Gardner said,
he stood next to Capone. .-.-..
What's the matter, Alp" Gard
ner said he asked. "'Can't you take
it?' .......
'He peered at me through blood
shot eyes and let go a haymaker
at my chin. I saw a guard point
ing his rifle at us from a guard
toward, dragged Capone under the
tower, and we finished the fight"
Formal confirmation of that COM
bat Is not to be had But a prison
official said Capone was placed in
solitary confinement for four days
because of a flstic encounter.
Unofficial accounts of an upris-
ing at Alcatraz in january, 1896,
said leaders of the mutiny branded
Capone yellow rat" because he
refused to join them.
AS far as his criminal colleagues
were concerned, then, the tough
guy was no longer so tough. The
legend Of the great gangster, the
brave bad man, was riddled In the
eyes Of those to whom It meant the
most.
Instead Of the desperate moves
