IS DECIDED upon
United States Is to Get Rid of
Foreigners Who Are En-
gagged in 'Red' Activities,
Attorney General Says,

Washington, Nov. S,-Deportation
of all aliens engaged in red" activi-
! ties has been determined upon by the
department of justice. Attorney Gen
eral Palmer announced today.
Details of the widespread cleanup
of radicals last night and today show
that more than 200 were arrested in
eighteen cities. Mr.. Palmer has asked
the department of labor to deport all
of them.
Included among the material and
literature seized by government
agents IN the raids were quantities of
articles used in making bombs. a
complete counterfeiting plant, a large
supply of counterfeit bank notes,
thousands of pieces of literature de-
scribed as of the most inflammatory
nature and scores of red flags, rifles
and reYolvers.
Mass of Evidence Collected.
Agents of the department of justice
and the bureau Of immigration have
been collecting evidence in these par
ticular cases for two months. Mr..
Palmer said. Practically all of those
arrested were Russians.
''The various locals are organized
for the sole purpose Of spreading the
doctrine Of the organization among
the Russian immigrants working in
the mines. shops, factories, logging

of labor and the propaganda is con-
Quoted by means of literature and lee

ture"
Officials declared that in last
nights raids they had found more
forms of anarchistic propaganda
teaching the overthrow of govern
ment by force and violence than in
any previous nationwide raids. APP
parently according to officials the
Russian organization bids fair to sup
plant some of the other radical groups
to which more attention has been
paid in the past. The announced de-
termination to rid the country of all
aliens participating in the spread of
doctrine against the government was
believed to be an effective means of
stopping the growth Of the Russian
union.
Inflammatory Document Seized.
6tlHeu III IHe TdluS ldSC HlSnL was
portion of the constitution" of the
Russian society, which officials de-
clared was the most inflammatory of
any documents yet taken. One sec
tion of 1t said present society was
divided into two opposing classes.
These, it said. We're:
THE downtrodden workers and
peasants on one side, producing by
their work all the riches of the world
on the other, the rich people who
have grabbed all the riches into their
hands. Many a time the class of the
oppressed stood against the rich para
sites and their faithful servant and
protector-the government, to con-
quer its full liberation from the yoke
of capitalism and political power. But
every time ii suffered defeat, not be-
ing fully conscious of its own final
goal and means, by which victory can
be accomplished. thus remaining only
a weapon in the hands of its enemies"
The Constitution" said further that
there was "a prime importance in the
necessity of building up a wide revo-
lutionary organization of toilers
which, by conducting a direct struggle
with all the institutions of capitalism
and government, must train the
working class to initiate and indie
pendent action"
