Chicago, Jan. 5.-The Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor adopted two resolu-
tons of protest against the federal
raids against radicals on Jan. 2. One
declared the executive board suspect
ed these raids are Il part of the gil
gantic plot to destroy organized labor
by the employers and that among
those arrested were officials of a local
cigarmakerS' union and that the lat
ter's records had been seized. The sec
ond resolution declared the federal
agents acts We're "repressions resem-
bling czarlstic methods in Russia"
The Department of Justice roundup
of radicals will be a continuing one,
John T. Creighton, special assistant
attorney general, said in announcing
that the government raids here had
bagged 224 persons for deportation
out of more than 300 arrested.
The Chicago Federation of Labor,
which recently protested against de-
p%ortation of radicals, reported receipt
of a communication of appreciation
from the Pacific Coast Labor League.
The Socialist party from its national
headquarters issued II statement de-
ploring the raid against radicals. The
arrests We're termed the gravest blow
yet struck Mt the ~permanence of Amer
lean institutions"

Neutrality-suspicious. of the COmmun-
list and Communist Labor parties,
against whom the great aids by gov
eminent agents inaugurated Friday
night are directed, to gain control of
all labor organizations as the means of
~fomenting revolution were revealed in
documents made public by the Depart
ment of Justice. Assistant Attorney
General Garvan made public the doc
uments which were seized in several
cities with the desire, he said, that the
American people learn "the real pur-
poses of these menacing groups and
the nature of the poison they were
spreading.
Department agents in many cities
are continuing the work of running
down and in~terrogating members of
the two organizations. Officials said
it was distinctly surprising that each
party numbered so many American
citizens in its membership. The party
rolls were said to carry the names of
many persons well known in their re-
spective communities and American
citizens. Although there is no federal
law under which the American COM
munists can be dealt with, department
agents We're not overlooking these.
There cases will be turned over to
state governments.
