OFFICIALS INDIGNANT.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Govern-
ment officials were greatly concerned
at the attack on discharged soldiers
by l.. w. w. at Centralia, WASH, re-
sulting in the death Of four men and
the probable fatal wounding of an
other. Many officials privately and
others in public statements con-
denined in strongest language the at
tack.
= Gen. Pershing in a statement in
which he characterized the attack "a
serious outrage" said "too drastic
measures cannot be taken to rid our
country Of the class Of criminal who
inspires or commits such crimes"
Members of both houses Of con-
gress were quick to recommend that
all possible steps be taken against
the repetition Of such outrages
through deportation or criminal pro-
secution Of all radicals. Senator Poin-
dexter and Representative Albert
Johnson, both Of Washington, led in
the condemnations.
Attorney General Palmer an
nounced that as soon as deportation
proceedings could be held, the radi-
Gals in custody as a result of the re-
cent raids would be compelled to
leave the country.
