' struck to have an iron barrier re' moved when they have visitors. The committee advised CommiS' sioner Byron H. Uhl to use force if necessary to compel the next men scheduled for -hearing to at tend, holding he had sufficient au thority under the interpretation of the law, by the United 'States su preme court. Jhe commissioner sent to the detention cage for Nico- lai Kuropata, who was arrested in a recent raid in Newark, N. J. There was no response from the cage and nobody at the island knew which one of the men in the pen was Kuropata. -The radicals continued to play hand ball and mandolins and a few sang the "Internationale" while the inspector in charge of the law division of the immigration service. Augustus P. Shell, returned empty-handed "to report to Mr. Uhl and to the committee. ' Counsel Holds Firm. "Let's see who's running this island," the defendants or the offi cials," said Representative Raker of California, a member of the commit tee, and forthwith the sergeant-at-arms brought in the counsel for the radicals, Isaak Schoor, who emi grated from Russia in J04 and was graduated from the New York uni versity law school in 1913: He was about to leave the island for the mainland. "" At the committee's request he told his clients the law required them to attend their hearings. All but Ueven of the 66 segregated radicals then reiterated their- refusal to at tend the hearing until the barrier was removed. . Mr. Uhl informed Schorr that the iron mesh would remain in place and announced that the deportation hearings would be continued to morrow. Just how he would solve the puzzle of identifying the radi cals he did not announce. Their counsel ...professed not toknow all of his clients by sight.
