COMMUNIST PARTY:
SCHEME REVEALED
PLANNED TO GAIN CONTROL OF
ALL LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
WITH REVOLUTION IN END !.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Plans Of the
communist and communist labor par
ties, against whom the great raids by
government agents inaugurated Fri
day night are directed, to gain control
of all labor organizations as the means
of forementing revolution were reveal
ed tonight in documents made public
by the Department of Justice. Assis-
tant Attorney General Garvan made
public the documents, which were
seized in several cities, with the de-
sire, he said, that the American peo-
pie learn "the real purposes of these
menacing groups and the nature of
the poison they were spreading"
Department agents in many cities
continued the work Of running down
and interrogating members Of the two
organizations. Officials said twas
distinctly surprising that each party
numbered so many American citizens
in it's membership. The party rolls
were said to carry the names of many
persons well known in their respective
communities as American citizens.
Although there is 70 federal laws un-
der which the American communist
can be dealt with, department agens
were not overlooking these. Their
cases will be turned over to State
governments.
Two hundred and eighty persons ar
rested today in Detroit were added to
the list of those taken into custody,
which is fast approaching 4,500. Nine
ty-four additional arrests Of aliens
were reported to Mr.. Caravans office
today, sending the total against whom
the department believes it has "per-
feet cases" to 2,729. Included in the
arrests reported today were:
Jacksonville, 9; Grand Rapids, 16i
Omahh,11 CORTLAND, N, " 16;
Woodlawn, Penn, 2; Des Moines, lei
Spokane, 10; Portland, Ore, 8; and
Toledo and Pittsburg, 2 each, and
Denver, /.
Among these arrested in Portland
was Victor Saulit, who attracted at
tention by his activities as delegate
to the August convention of the COM
munist labor party in Chicago. In
Spokane, federal agents took into
cutody Peter Fedorshuck, who, Off
Gals said, had been one Of the most
dangerous agitators with whom they
had to deal with in the northwest.
