for Recent Bomb 0utrages.
Washington, June 4.-Anarchist
attempts on the life of Attorney
General Palmer and public men,
were denounced in the house by
Representative Blanton of Texas,
who said he had waited 80 hours in
the hope that older members would
let the country know what congress
thought of a series of outrages
against organized government.
Mr.. Blanton also made a general
attack on labor unions, saying he
had been receiving anonymous let
ters from all parts of the United
States telling me that if / ever
opened my mouth against the unions
again what would happen to me and
my family" =,
~ hope you open your mouths" !"
Mr.. Blanton shouted. "and tell those
anarchists-I do not care if they
are labor unionists or not-that if
they did not stop their practices,
anG l hope you tell Mr.. Gompers
that if he does not purge his labor
unions of anarchy and disregard of
law, we are going to catch every one
of the anarchists, though they are
members of unions, and hang them
as high as Haman.'
Federal Men Uncommunicative.
Secret service heads were uncom
lrunicative but hopeful as to pros
poets in. the nationwide hunt for the
perpetrators of the series of bomb
outrages Monday night. William
]. Flynn, appointed but not formally
installed, as head of the investiga-
ton bureau of the Department of
Justice, was assisting in the opera
tons and it was admitted that ma
tcrial had been gathered which had
proven helpful though nothing could
be disclosed as to its nature.
Members of coroner's jury as
sembled Wednesday to investigate
the death of the bomb planter killed
by the explosion of his own bomb
at the home of Attorney General
Palmer, adjourned without attempt
ing to complete verdict. Officials
said there was nothing to decide in
view of the circumstances.
More than 60 suspects have been
taken into custody in various parts
of the country, but no information
had been received here that would
indicate the capture of the actual
plotters.
Officials directing the campaign
against the anarchistic groups said
today that they thought other out
RACES might occur, but that an end
would be put to them before many
days had passed.
Many Deportations Promised.
