Appeals Board
Is Reversed by
Cabinet Officer
Attorney General
Rules 6. !. O. Leader
Is Communist

Deportation of Harry r.
Bridges, West Coast c. I. o. lead
er, to his native Australia at ex-
pense of the United States Gov
ernment was ordered today by
Attorney General Biddle.
The Attorney Generals opinion
reversing the Board of immigration
Appeals. which had Cancelled de-
portation proceedings on January 3,
was based on two major points, one
that the Communist party advocates
overthrow by force and violence of
the United States Government, and
that Bridges was member of such
an organization.
The Attorney General upheld the
proposed findings of Charles B.
Sears, retired judge of the New York
Court of Appeals. who presided at a
10-week hearing in San Francisco
last year.
Now Free Under Bond.
Bridges, now free under $4,000
bond, will be picked up on war
rant issued under today's order and
presumably will be released under
a new bond pending an anticipated
appeal through the courts.
Mr.. Biddle said his ruling could
be taken to the Federal District
Courts, the Circuit Court Of Appeals
and the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Biddle found that Bridges,

States, had been a member of the
Communist party, that he had been
affiliated with the Marine Workers
Industrial Union, an organization
controlled by the Communist party,
and like the Communist party, an
organization that advocated the
overthrow of the Government by
force and violence.
The Bridges deportation case, now
in its sixth year, has been the most
bitterly fought proceeding in the
history of the immigration and
Naturalization service.
Numerous demands were made for
the resignation of Secretary of Labor
Perkins, under whose Jurisdiction the
case rested until the service was
transferred to the Justice Depart
ment in June, 1910, and in 1899 she
personally appeared before the
House Judiciary Committee to ex-
plain her conduct of the case.
House Voted Custer.
On two occasions, once by a vote
OF $50 to AZ and again unanimously,
the House voted to deport Bridges,
but both bills died in Senate COM
mittees.

Arson Ruled Out as Cause
OF Fires in War Plants
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 28.-Of the nu-
merous fires in war plants in the
past six months. none was of incen-
diary origin so far as could be de-
termined, the National Board Of
Underwriters said TODAY through its
committee on incendiarism and
arson.
The committees report, read at
the boards annual meeting, said
there had been "one or two abortive
dncendiary) attempts which did
no damage, by persons of unbal-
anced mentality"
Another committee report es-
-timated the value of property de-
stroyed by fire in this country in
194l at $303, 1895 900, an increase of
per cent over 1910 and the
greatest loss since 1892
But viewed from the economic
background of a tremendously ex-
panded industrial activity, new
factories and huge production, the
committee said the increased fire
loss is mot cause for undue con-
cern."
