NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-An anti—trial
“strike" called by sixty-six alleged
radical aliens awaiting deportation
hearings at Ellis Island still was in
force this morning. according to offl-
cial‘s of the prison, and it was impos-
sible to predict when the trials could
be resumed. Byron H. Uhl. acting
Commissioncr of Immigration. said
he had discovered no method whereby
he could identify the prisoners sched-
uled for hearing.
\Vhile a Congressional committee

vya: attending the hearings yesterday.
sudden adjournment was taken when
one of the keepers, sent to bring a
prisoner from the enclosure. returned
with the statement that the man
would not answer his name, and no
one could identify him. The attorney
representing the defendant Was ap-
pealed to. but said he could be of no
aid. as he did not know hisclients "by
their faces."
The strikers sent Mr. Uhl an ulti-
matum saying that. they would not
answer to their names or attend trill!
until a wire screen behind which they
were compelled to stand while receiv-
ing friends had been removed.
The authorities decided to wait un—
til fricnds ol' the prisoners called
with food and tobacco. and thus estab-
lish identifications. but as there can.
he no individual propcrty in a “com-
munist lehuhiic." such as the prison‘
