fhe anhichists. Tho grin? bit of repar?
tee ci<*jted m griite'??ine impression in
the surrounding darknesrs and silence.
The unique and extraordinary fea- !
tur*? of the entire proceeding were!
*?p?d.M7i'.? from the beginning, when
Chief Flynn. a corps of assistants and
Trow.spap' r men left the Department ol
Justice Building, in Park Row, at 2
o'clock in the morning.
Boarding the United States coast
guavd cutter Manhattan, under com?
mand o. Captain jonn Wilson, at wie
Battery, thi... company p oceeded to
Ellis Island to witness the transfer of
xhe deportees to the smail army trans?
port hont.
Although they had been informed as
early as S o'clock Saturday evening
that all was ready for their depa ture,
many of the anarchists refused to be?
lieve that the government was going
through with Us program, and vir?
tually not unt.l they were marched
out in singie file format.on under
close guard of soldiers and secret ser?
vice men from the large hall in which
they were ass?.moied at i.i.is L.?ano 10
the tender that was to take them to
the "Soviet Ark" did the full force
of their late come home ?o Cum.
-It was then that ?wo oi" them broke
down and wept. Among them was
Norman Stephanuk, one of the leaders
of the Union of Russian Workmen. He
was ?captured in a raid on th.it organ?
isation in this cuy on November 7.
But most of them, with heads erect
and eyes dashing rebellion, wa.ked with
s.oady gait across the gangp.ank that
marked the first steps o. tuerr voyage
to the land of Lenin?' and Trotzky.
On arriving at E.lis ?siaiiu a?id eater
ing the large hall where the deportee?
were assembled Chief FTynn and his
party tfound a merry lot of anarchists
in command of Alexander Berkman?
Apparently in training for hie prospec?
tive p st as commissary in the Bolshe?
vist government a post which be said
he expected to occupy Brkman paced
the floor, attired in a khaki shirt and
khaki trousers tucked into heavy Rus?
sian boots.
He wore big tortoiseshell eyeglasses.
From time to time he was giving oruera
and instructions to his fellow anar?
chists, who seemed to look up to him
as their god.
Many of the men were paying ban?
joes and guitars, and now and then a
group here and there would stri-.c- up
the anarchist '"Carmagno.e," the "in?
ternationale'' and Russian revolutionary
airs. Berkman. apparently preparing
for his new environment, was issuing
orders to the anarchists in Russian.
Some of then? professed a desiae to
see Harry Weinberger, their counsel.
They- were informed that Mr. Wein?
berger made two attempts 1o get to
Ei is Is and, one at S o'c.ock and the
other three hours later, Saturday eve?
ning, but was refused permission, as
visitors are barred after 2;iJ0 o'ciock
Saturday afternoons.
..o..e o. .lie anarchists, with the ex
ception of Emma Go.dman, had any
s.eep up to t..o very moment of their
departure. Miss Goldman slept rm
eral h~urs in the ia.e a.teruuon and
; early evening. Dressed in mourning
, b.ack, she appeared to be the calmest
: of the tot a.id seemed ra.ner boreu
j w:th the entire proceeding.
' Her final statement loliows:
Goldman Proud To Be First Political
Agitator Deported hy United Stetes
"I do not consider it a punishment
to be sent back to Siviet Russia. On
the contrary. I consider it an honcr to
be cho?en as 'he first political agitator
to be deported from the United States.
The Czar of Russia never resorted ?o
such autocratic measures as the gov
errmf'it o*- the Unite! States has in
treating with a'iens. I can assure you
thrut any American who comes o Soviet
Russia will be met wi h greater hos?
pitality than we have received in
America.
"When 1 get h: ck to Rusia I will
organize a Society of Russian Friends
7)f American Fre dorn for the purpose
of helping Americans struggling for
the restoration of liberty in this coun?
try. I am sure that the S ?viet govern?
ment wi 1 meet us with all hospitality.
"We have this assurance from the
Soviet representatives 1?re. We are
?ib o prepared to issist the Soviet gov
en ir""' i" eve"?' w v As f >r America
deportation is the beginning of the end
-.f t e l ni ted Spates .. ivei iment. The
government has signed its own death
warrant.
"I am going to keep up my work as
long as there is life within me," added
Mrs Gold Iran.
Berkman seemed to grow dotibly en
?rgetic en; the appearance of Chief
Plynn and Is party, lie rushed about
2he smoke-filled room with vim and
braggadocio. All the Russians rose in
hi.? honor at one point. Berkman sug?
gested that the El is Island Sjviet oc
reorganized into the "Anarchist Soviet
? f the Transport Buford." The sig
?restien was unanimously adopted and
Berkman was ? lected chief commis?
sary.
Alexander Schatz, another deportee,
vas chosen secretary. '1 he soviet im?
mediately issued a farewell statement,
signed by Schatz, and addre sed to the
women of America, but whether or not
Berkman and Miss Goldman had any
hing to do with the statement is ex
tremelv do; b f 1 in view of the poor
English in which it was wr;'tc;i and
he general incoher?nt tone of its
ideas.
The text of the statement follows:
"You American women know that
because of our love of labor ai d truth
?ve are abused as undesirables and for- j
i'igners. It is undos ral li ami for i
?jign to you. It was not so to he real
.rind of Americans, upon whose graves ]
you may lay the wreathes so honor- .
ably and deservedly earned by them in
?2?1?S crucial hour ?f human history.
"As protest, against this heinaus
plotting of the American government,
who is responsible for starving th?:
women and children of Russia. You
wem?n c-'! ! ' "? h ; > the terrible in- ]
justice, and by this very grave act you
?ave proved thai the i a Am. r.can ..?
conscious and in spiril still upholds as
bravely the ideals of mankind as your
noble forefathers, who so tou^hv, for
them, and upon which this nation was
founded.
"Though sacrific;ng ceaselessly the
noblest sons of the people 1o free
themselves, to the better kind of the
great human family, and only because
we. the Russian sons, have dared to
uphold this very dear dream of our
per p'e, are we jailed as u' d it" ? e
and dangerous elements to this coun?
try.
"Who of us came to this country
but for the 'ove of liberty u- on which
t.hrs nation was founded; with no o4her
v'ntentions but simply honesty, labor
ing and devotedly investing all wo pos?
sess fo- the welfare of all, as he un
des* ood it best.
"Yet the government of t^e United
States is going to dcnort us. Well,
but the o'ily tiiinc that we ask of
them is that our children ar.d wives
he not deprived of their fathers and
hrsba"dy rTel be? gi.te'1 remission t
go with them to Sov>et Russia when
their fathers are to be sent so that
'hey cou d be saved from certain star?
vation and need.
"T' is is the teleg'fm we send to the
government of C e United States and
to the Labor Department. Think!
Think! Think, American women,
think!"
Later Berkman told of his plans ir
Rr: sia. lie hastened to say t'-at he
'ad considerable "pull" in Russia ?t
t!:e shape of m urde who occupies
a prominent position in the Soviet gov?
ernment. The uncle's rame, he said,
is N. Starick. Ahmt thirty years ago
..e was sentenced l?o death by the Czar
.' r revolutionary activity.
The seirter.ee was commuted to lire
imprisonment. He escaped from Si?
beria and made his way to Paris,
?where he played a prominent r?le in
he R'.'ssian revolutionary propaganda
in Prince. At the outbreak of the
Russian revolution, Berkman said,
Str.rick returned to R'issia and now
r.ccupiis the poit of Commissary of
Lai.ways, Berkman said he expected
to get a job in bis department.
"Are you happy now?" Berkman was
asked.
"Why shouldn't i be happy?" said
Berkman, "I am going to be amone
friends "
Berkman added that he was eaeer to
get to Pe rograd and to cooperate with
L?nine and Trotzky.
Referring to the other deportees.
Berkrotn said many of them were
minors, who knew nothing about an?
archism ar.d were quite innocent of any
cr me. "You may rest assured that be?
fore we are out many drys on the
eccan we wil havo cot.ver ed them to
our doctrines," Berkman added.
Peter Bianky, secretary treasurer of
?.'no Union of Russian Workers and on?
cf the mos. notorious anare ists who
ver entered the United States, had
little to say. He smiled confident.y
and remarked:
"I hope some day free Russia will
?hake hands with free America; but
A mcrtca will first have to become
free."
Arthur Katses, another prominent
member of ihe party, who was arrnsted
?'er anarchistic activity in New York,
said he was glad he was returning to
iiis "brethren in ?Soviet Russia" and
ihat the "deportation of so-called
anarchists will not remedy conditions
in the United States."
"The anarch'st movement, w'Tl con?
tinue," he s lid, "despite the deporta
i tion of its intellectual heads. The gov?
ernment his only skimmed 'he crear.-?
of the movement, but the movement
will remain deep rooted."

comfort in her company.
Tin final proceedings, from tho time :
the nrmy tender left El is Is an?l to
the tine of the transfer to the Buford
and th ? ship's departure, were carried
out by Department of Justice officials
in cha -g? of Chief P'ynh with cloek
like precision. The tender left Ellis
Island al 4.15 in the morning and ,
moved fast down the bay to the Bu?
ford.
The heavy baggage and trunks of
the deportees had boon transferred to
the Buford Saturday afternoon and on
tho arrival of the party heir lian?!
baggage was quickly taken aboard.
after \ hieb the anarchists themselves
follow? d.
Prior ts their leaving the Island, the
govi rrr nent snw to il that all were
Supplied with warm underwear and
cloHiinf, The apparel was issued in
generous quantities to all who needed
it. Same of tho men received heavy ;
army overcoats and the captain was
instructed by the War Department to
issue such clothing and appro! to such
? hers of the party as may ask for
them.
. mma Goldman and the two other
women were assigned to a cabin on
the upper deck and are traveling as
ftrst-cli ss passengers. The men oc?
cupy trie clean, neat hunks provided
by the transport. An officer in charge
of the soldiers aboard said in examin?
ing the transport that the "Reds" are
traveling under conditions much better i
than those which American soU?iers
and officers going overseas in the late
war en ioyed.
Food in generous quantities has heen
supplied for the "Beds" fo" sixty days
end all precautions have been taken,
Department of Justice officials said, to
protect the lives of the. deportees.
Safe Conduct Assured
Under no circumstances, it was said,
will they be permitted to fall into
the hands of White Guards or other
onemi s. and rhould they have to pnss
into Soviet Russia through either Fin?
land or the Baltic provirces t e
United States government will obtain
a rafe conduct through territories now
in control of enemies of the Bolshe
viki. The ve sel is expected to be en
route eighteen days.
Perhaps the final tragic touch of the
departure of the "Red'-" was added as
the Hi lord was steaming out to sea
from Gravesend Bay in the direction
of Satnly Hook, As her propellc s be?
gan to churn the icy waters of the
Xarrovs and the bay, looking <i grim
gray and presenting a picture of Ion
liness, the great Cunarder Saxonia,
f oui Liverpool, came running by
majest'cal'y at high speed, on her way
to her ?lock in the North River.
She ?vas brilliantly illuminated, pre?
senting thus a sharp contrast to the
weak i lumination of the Buford cast?
ing a /lark shadow over t'e transport,
and wps ru hin-.; her h im?n cargo into
the lard from which ihe 249 Ru sians
were b'-iing driven. Tho merry la'igV tr-r
o'' won "ii and children was heard from
the decks of tVc Saxonir.? little aware
of the tragic scene they were just pass?
ing.
Perhaps at t'vit moment some of
t' e anarchist:; aboard the Buford ?' i 7
a longing glance at tlv Saxonia con?
scious of the fate that had befallen
them.
Only ten of those deported were old
prisoners, among them Alexand rr
Bi rkm in and Emma Goldman. The
rest were taken in the country-wid:
raid staged hy the Department of Jus
tree. November 7 last. Two hundred or"
the number arc members of the Union
of Pussian Workers. T'-ey we e
rounded up in Chicago, New York-,
Young! town, Pitt burgh, Bos'.on.
Bridgeport, New London, Hartford,
Buffalo, Baltimore, Detroit, Akron. S
Louis, Kansas City, Seattle and other
cities.
It was estimated by Federal offrc'als
that .. e ?e-pi r ees carried away wi.h
thr~m about. $250,000, every one of them
being amply supplied with money.
They averaged aoout $1,000' apiece.
Many ? f them had elaborate wardrobes,
v. h le others h id small sized libraries
with them. They were permitted to
*,;;'' tl eir hocks.
It w'is said by Department of Jus
tico official that fho "Red" cargo is
only the first of a series to be shipped
out of this port. As authority for de?
porting the proup. the K? ?lorn officials
ei'ed the fret that, the Department of
Labor his ruled that membership in
the Union of Rurs'an Workers consti?
tutes sufficient reason for deportation,
as the organization fivors the over?
throw of government hy force.
Ten agenta of the Department of
'Labor, under A. ,1. Berkshire, accom?
panied the Buford.

The government summaries of these
cases follow:
Emma Goldman: On September 5
a warrant of arresl was issued by ?he
Assistant Secretar, of Lahor, .1. W.
Aberer .nine, charging Emma Gold?
man with beins in tan United States i"
violation of the immigration act of
February 5, 1917, an?! the act approved
October Hi, 1918, wherein it is provided
that persons found advocating or
teaching anarchy shall be deported

it was incumbent u on the kov run ent
to proceed with tho case proving not

WHEN GIFTS COME AND GO
The Ska ne Gift Corner
IS COMPOSED OF GIFTS THAT GO TO STAY!
Seme gifts are like social calls, brief and soon
forgotten. Sloane Gifts protract their stay
from Christmas to Christmas, like those hardy
annuals that flourish indefinitely. <
The charm of an easy chair, the compliment
of a mirror, the radiance of a lamp, the beauty
of a porcelain, the dignity of candlesticks,
such things do not vanish with the passing
hour, but take soil in the heart and the home?
Yet none of these things is expensive. So
don't let us talk of that. Rather let us talk
of quality, which is so old-fashioned, so satis?
factory, so characteristic o? Sloane's. What?
ever comes irom Sloane's carries the message
of quality wherever it goes.
