HARRY BRIDGES
ANOTHER DEPORTATION MOVE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, May 28. The Attorney-General, Mr Biddle, has ordered that Harry Bridges, leader of the American Longshoremen’s Union on the Pacific Coast, be deported to Australia at the Government’s expense. Mr Biddle said his ruling could be taken to the Federal District Court, the Circuit Court, and the Appeal and the Supreme Court. A spokesman for Bridges said an appeal would undoubtedly be made. A San Francisco message says that Bridges told the State Legislative Committee, investigating Fascism, that Angelo Rossi, Mayor of San Francisco, in 1935, personally ordered longshoremen to load shipments of scrap metal for shipment to Italy for Mussolini’s Ethiopian campaign. Rossi termed Bridge’s testimony ridiculous.
