HEARINGS UPON
DEPORTATION TO
BE EXPEDITED
Palmer Orders mo Stop in
Work of Arresting Union of
Russian Members.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Deporta-
ton proceedings have been institut-
ed in a number of cities to rid the
country of the violent radicals
caught in the nation-Eide raids
which have been in progress since
Friday, Attorney General Palmer
announced tonight.
Instructions have gone to all Dc
partment of Justice agents, the at
torney general said, to permit no
delay in instituting formal hearings,
preliminary to the actual ,deporta-
ton. Assurances have been received
from other government departments
having to do with deportation that
action would be taken to expedite
the cases.
In the meantime the cleanup OF
the country will continue, Mr.. Pal
mer announcing tonight that there
must be mo letup." The total num-
Der actually held on deportation
warrants has reached l9l tonight
while from some cities in which rad
ical leaders were picked up, reports
had not reached the department.
Efforts of the department repre-
sentatives it was said, are being di-
rected more particularly at the
Union of Russian workers. This or
gafization, branded by the attorney
general as the most dangerous an
archistic group in the country, was
said to have wide ramifications, with
the department agents still uncoy-
ering new evidences of its activities.
Enlist Other Bodies.
Opinion at the Department of Jus
tice as expressed today seems to be
that the Russian union perhaps was
constituting itself a self-appointed
leader of all organizations which are
preaching overthrow of the govern
ment. Literature seized was said 10
show that the organisation accepts
support from almost any source SO
long as it was working to defeat au-
thority and destroy private property
rights. Officials said they had evi-
dence showing that leaders of the
union had made overtures to other
and lesser groups OF radicals to join
their organization, holding out
promises of rewards when state and
society are overthrown.
Because they are regarded as the
most dangerous of all radical
types, those arrested in the recent
raids are being held in $4,000 bail
officials said.
The following list, given out by
the Department of Justice, shows
that the number of persons held
en- deportation warrants in the vari-

Union Leaders Admit Issue
Beyond Strike Question

Washington, Nov. l0-Solemn
warning was given the United Mine
Workers of America tonight by At
torney General Palmer, that resolu-
tions of conventions and orders OF
officers of rganizations are not
above the law.
Formal and final declaration of
the governments policy of dealing
with the coal strike was announced
by the attorney general while
officers of the miners organizations
rat Indianapolis were struggling with
the question how to answer the
courts permptory command to
rescind the strike order.
Describing the strike as a plain
violation of federal statute, Mr..
Palmer, speaking with full authority
of the government, announced that
all the power of the United States
would be exerted to enforce the
mandate of the court.
Leaders Show Feeling
Although no reference was made
in the attorney generals statement
Ito the pronouncement of organized
labor, supporting the miners and dc.
manding withdrawal of injunction
proceedings, it was evident that Mr.
Palmer had that document in mind
and official Washington accepted
his declaration to mean that refusal
of the miners to cancel their strike
would mean fight to the bitter end
There was no attempt in official
or labor circles tonight to canceal
the feeling that the situation was ex'
tremely grave and getting beyond tie
question of a coal strike. This was
due to the belief that the miners ap,
parently were not of one mind or
the question of making quick reply
to the court.
All day word from the Indian.
apolis meeting was awaited with in
tense interest and anxiety. Some
labor leaders had predicted that tht
mandatory order would not be com.

would stand until passed upon by
the same delegate convention which
arbitrarily fixed the date for the ma.

The action of the executive coun

While officers of the federation re-
fused to add one word by way o.
explanation or interpret its mean

quarters that it was designed te
back up the strikers, it was attacked
on the floor of the senate and EN-
phasized there that under the fooc

ITO my fellow-countrymen:
"a year ago today our enemies
laid down their arms in accordance

them impotent to renew hostilities
and gave to the world an assured
opportunity to reconstruct its shat

a new and juster set of international

of the European allies had fought

years TO uphold the barrier of civil

been in the conflict something more
than year and half With splen-
did forgetfulness of mere personal
concerns we remodeled our indus

sources, increased our agricultural
output, and assembled great army,
so that at the last our power was a
decisive factor in the victory. We
were able to bring the vast resources,
material and moral, of great and
free people to the assistance of our
associates in Europe who had suf-
fered and sacrificed without limit
in the cause for which we fought
