Washington.-Depor proceed
ngs have been instituted in a number
Of cities to rid the country of the VIC
.ent radicals caught in the nation wide
raids which have been in progress, At
sorney General Palmer announced.
Instructions have gone to all depart
ment of justic.. agents, the attorney
general said, to permit no delay IN in
shutting formal hearings, preliminary
to the actual deportation. Assurances
have been received from other gov
eminent departments having 10 do
with deportations, that action would
be taken to expedite the cases.
In the meantime the cleanup Of the
county will continue. Mr.. Palmer al
nounced that there must be mo let
up" The total number actually held
on deportation warrants had reached
sol, while from some cities in which
radical leaders were picked up, re-
ports 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 organiza-
ton, branded by the attorney general
as the most dangerous anarchistic
group in the country, was said to have
wide qualifications with department
agents still uncovering new evidence
of its activities.
Opinion at the department Of JUS
tice seemed to be that the Russian
Union perhaps was constituting itself
a self-appointed leader OF all organiza-
lions which are preaching overthrow
of the government. Literature seized
was said to show that the organization
accepted support from almost any
source so long as 1t was working to
defeat authority and destroy private
property rights Officials said they
had evidence showing that leaders of
the union made overtures to other and
lesser groups OF radicals to join their
organization, holding out promises of
reward 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 Peter Bianki and Adolph Selma
bel. both former secretaries of the
Union OF Russian Workers, have been
held in bail of $4,000
