There are two classes of radicals or revolutionary agitatorsthe alien and the citizen. They should be dealt with separately. For some years there has been strong Federal legislation providing for the deportation of alien anarchists and forcible revolutionists. The trouble is that the Department of Labor. acting through the Bureau of Immigration. will not enforce existing laws. During the time from July 1. 1916. tintil October 23.1919. only 122 alien anarchists have been ordered deported. and of thse 122 up to November 1. 1919. only 51 have been deported. Where are the rest? They are either being fed at Government expense at Ellis Island. or are out on bail. or were released on their own recognizance.
