under direction of John L. Creighton,
special assistant to Attorney General
Palmer, was conducted on the scale OF
city-wide military operation. Creigh>
ton directed his forces from his office
IN the federal building, keeping in con-
slant touch by telephone with the three
police stations which were used as the
bases.
Tons of radical literature and mem
bership lists were seized at the various
centers.
A feature of the raid was the descent
on a soviet college, where the raiders
found ffty-hve men and women stu
dents"
Nine members Of the various radical
organizations against which the raids
were directed, who had been seized by
States Attorney Hoyne in HIS New Year
roundup, were arraigned before Judge
Hugo Pam in criminal court last night.
Five were held to the grand jury under
$4,000 bond and the remainder In
smaller amounts.
Hoyne reiterated his attacks on At
tOrney General Palmer following receipt
of Palmers statement quoting a letter
in which he asked HOyne to defer the
raids. Hoyne charged that, although the
federal representatives here knew the
raids had been deferred on Wednesday
they misled him into expecting federal
cooperation until too late.

would not be disclosed until they had
achieved public office.
The department of justice made the
following announcement of the aims and
purposes of the communist party, as re-
vealed by its own propaganda docu-
ments
THE communist party is a conscious
expression of the class struggle of the
workers against capitalism. It's aim is
to direct this struggle to the conquest
of political power, the overthrow of cap
italism and the destruction of the
bourgeioise state The communist party
prepares itself for the revolution in the
measure that it develops a program of
immediate action expressing the mass
struggles of the proletariat. The strug-
giles must be inspired with revolutionary
spirit and purposes. In close connection
with the unskilled workers is the prob
lem of the negro workers. The negro
problem is political and economic
problem. The racial oppression of the
negro is simply the expression of his
economic bondage and oppression, each
tntensifying the other. This complexities
the negro problem but does not alter it's
proletariat character.
THE communist party will carry on
agitation among the negro workers to
unite them with all class conscious
workers"
Evidence in papers seized by the raid
ers indicated, 1t was learned, that the
communist party was organized early in
1919 In Moscow, capital of soviet Russia.
Agents slipped into this country and be-
gan organizing for the revolution which
would result In soviet government be-
ing established here
That the communist leaders in the
United States were in communication
with Lenin and Trotsky is believed like
! ~. The recent new years message from
Moscow, sent by wireless, predicting es-
/ adjustment of a soviet government in
! Washington during 1920 was recalled to-
day and great significance attached to It..
In view Of the plots unearthed in last
nights raids.

agents last night and this morning.

coal which they were asking from Evans
Woollen, state fuel administrator.
These audits were submitted as sew
fdence7 to Mr.. Woollen when the retail
coal dealers were arguing that Mr..
Woollen should increase the margin on
which they were permitted to sell coal.
Mr.. Woollen sent these audits to a
representative of the federal trade COM
mission in Washington with a request
that they be considered and digested
for his guidance.
Before this work was done Mr.. Woollen
was acquainted with conditions in the
local coal field that convinced him the
best interests Of the public demanded that
no margins he fixed, but that the retail
price of coal be permitted to become
amenable to the influences of competi-
ton that was then rife in the market.
Mr.. Woollen did not fix i margin for
retail dealers in coal on their plea and
hence could not have been affected in bis

ROLAND AND THE
KRUYER SUICIDE.
The various connections between mat
ters of internal revenue and Thomas c.
Boland, offer a more fertile field for in
vestigation, however, and it is in this
connection, if any, that the federal gov
eminent will be interested in locating
the absconder.
1t is also in this connection that there
have been attempts made to link the
Boland scandal with the death Of Peter
Kruger, internal revenue collector, who
is generally believed to have committed
suicide in South Bend last Thanksgiving,
when the Boland tangle was beginning
TO attract attention.
No one has charged that Kruger was
connected with Boland, and there has
been a persistent effort on the part Of
the friends Of kruger to show that sucn
Ne~connection would have been an impos-
sibiIity Nothing has come to light that
would establish the connection.
But it has become known that Boland
avoided payment to the government of
excise taxes amounting to about $4,000
on batteries sold by the Permaiife com
pany and it Is declared that the Perma-
life books show that this revenue was
paid to some one. This is one of the
connections of the Boland swindle with
the government that may yet lead to 3D.
