S. marshals were pro vided for Commissioner 'Uhl today, so that he could break the "silence" strike of 68 radicals at the island J now awaiting deportation proceed ingsThe usual guards at the island are inadequate and not strong enough, he. told the house commit tee.

Howe, former .commissioner of immigra.-, tion at Ellis island, had ordered de portations of radicals held up, al though final deportation orders had been received from the Department of Labor, was givento the house immigration commission today by Percy A. Baker, superintendent, of the island. Baker put in evidence an order he had received from Howe last March, reading: "You will stay all deportations In these alien -cases until the attor neys can be advised and until after consultation with fne." Baker, testified that an order of the department to deport was final and he, therefore, did not under stand the note from Howe and con sulted him.

Representative Siegel of New York said .there was no authority in law for such staying of deporta tions. , 1 ' -. , ' Baker said that some of the radi cals affected by the stay had been released by the department, and some had obtained their freedom by habeas corpus proceedings. The ef fect of Howe's - order to him, he said, probably was to permit delay for the institution of habeastforpus proceedings." - v V On Own Recognizance. , ' Representative Siegel, read from immigration department .records names of two dozen men who had been held at the island with war rants for their ideportation on file, bui had been released mostly on their own recognizance. They are now missing. Howe interrupted Baker's testi mony in an effort to give his version of the matter, but was shut off by the committee, which promised him an opportunity to be heard later. Failing to obtain permission to tes tify earlier in the day, Howe had issued7 statement to the press say ing that he had never released a radical without orders from Wash- in orfm -."." iVThis statement was issued'after Howe had interrupted Byron H. Uhl, now acting commissioner at the island' and deputy when Howe was commissioner. Uhl had testi fied that a letter signed by Howe, April 24, ordering the circulation of anarchistic literature at the island stopped had not been delivered to- the proper omcers to entorce it untu June 4. - Interrupts Proceedings. "That isn't true." Howe ex claimed before the committee stopped his statement by informing hirrMhat it would tolerate "nopolice court methods. Later in the day Howe tried to interrupt the proceedings again to say that he was in error in asserting that Uhl was not telling the truth, but the committee told him to write a letter about it. Dudley Field Malone, then' col- lector of the port of New York, ad dressed interned German sailors at the island the night after war was declared, Baker testified, and prom ised them that their treatment would be such that they could have no cause for complaint, and that can teens would be provided. The can teens never were provided, however, Baker added. I. W. W. on Hunger and , ' Silence Strike in Tacoma Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 28. The I. W.
