Reading edition
New York Times, March 18, 1919. See adverse editorial, March 19. Officials of the Department of Justice are reported, ibid., February 11, as asserting that mere membership is enough, so that “it will be impossible for that organization to continue in existence.” The Ellis Island I.W.W.’s would have been discharged by a judge if they had not been released.—Post Deportations Testimony, 207.
