Communist Labor Party Declared Legal by Secretary Wilson
Secretary Wilson ruled on May 5 that the Communist Labor Party is a legal political party and that aliens joining it do not by themselves warrant deportation. He noted platform rhetoric does not prove a plan to use force, despite widespread indictments under criminal syndicalism laws. The ruling follows clashes between the Department of Labor and Department of Justice over red scare tactics and raids that unsettled the party’s status.
