WASHINGTON, April 30.-Severa1
members of Congress, three Federal
Judges and an attorney who recently
has been active in investigating radi-
cal disturbances have been designated
for assassination tomorrow as part OF
natlon-w program of violence, ac-
cording to a statement made tonight
These intended victims of the radicals
are among the score or more who, the
the Department Of Justice announced
Thursday night, had been marked for
death. AS on Thursday night, the
names of the men whom it was planned
to assassinate were withheld by the
department.
Mr.. Garvan believes, however, that
the early discovery of the plot has
made it possible to sufficiently protect
the men who are threa tened
Indeed, after checking over conf
Dental reports from all parts of the
country, government officials expressed
confidence demonstrations would not
result in any nationwide attempt at
violence.
While taking this view of the situa-
tion the Department of Justice re-
newed its warning to local authorities
everywhere that if the radical ele-
ments were to be kept under control
every law enforcing agency, state and
Federal, must be awake and equal to
the dangers, real and fancied.
Prepare Gigantic Demonstrations
Mr. Garvan, who directed raids on
Communist and Communist Labor
party organizations in January, de
clared as he went home for the night
that late reports indicated that what
ever violence might occur would be
sporadic.
Most of these reports showed that
the radicals were preparing gigantic

ii is at these that trouble may develop
according to Mr.. Garvan. The depart
ment, he said, would allow chose gath
erings to talk themselves blue" but
government agents would observe the
tenor of agitation. Agents have been
instructed mot to incite or excite
trouble in any such assemblies"
Appeals of the Communist Labor
leaders for May Day strikes appear
not to have met with a kindly recep-
ton, although there were threats of
strikes in some sections. Thousands
Of workers may lay down their tools
tomorrow. but Mr.. Garvan believed
this would be more in the nature of a
declaration of a holiday than with a
malicious intent to cause great tieup.
Timber workers in Wisconsin and in
Washington may remain away from
work, according to reports. Federal
agents advised, however, that their
latest information disproved claims of
direct collusion between those workers
and the radical leaders
Movement Plentifully Financed
MIR. Garvan called attention to the
apparently unlimited amount of money
employed by the Communist Labor
party in fomenting disorders, declaring
that at no time in the history had a
radical movement been so plcntifully
financed. He traced the source of these
funds to Amsterdam and thence to
Russia
The amount Of radical literature cir
culated within the last week was de-
scribed by Mr., Garvan as "amazing,"
as he pointed to scores of different

It is bad enough to be on the deck
in freezing weather, but think of the
engine room crew. They are below the
waterline, and, as the torpedoes are al
ways aimed at the engine room bulk
heads, they have the fear of being caught
like rats in trap.
The first ship was on that was tor

The Great American Car

There never was an automobile
show held under quite the same con-
oitions as the present. The problem
facing the populace which throngs
the rooms Is compounded largely of
the two questions, what car can
get?' and "How long must / waltz"
and only secondarily involves the old
question, what car do / want?" If
disaster is facing the country and
the universe in 1920 it does not hang
over the Grand Central Palace.
Optimism, boundless and enkindling,
is the word. Faith in the American
people to buy more cars and more
costly cars than ever before in the
history Of motors radiates every
where, and the rush Of orders sup
ports the faith.
OF course, a shortage Of materials,
OF parts, due to strikes and other
sequels Of the war, is partly respon-
s'ble for the present shortage Of
cars. And certain percentage Of

The Sensible Wav

The railroad brotherhoods are
said to be ready to go into CO.
operative buying and distribution
on large scale. That is one Of
the most encouraging Of recent
signs in the economic heavens. It
is an attempt to do something con-
structive, something which will
work not only for the good of the
brotherhoods but also for the good
of the community.
Spiraling wages defeats itself
since it eventually spirals the cost
OF ali the things which wages buy.

down and building up again, to say
nothing Of the natural slackening
Of the win to work and the de-
creased production which accom-
pany strife and readjustment.
The brotherhoods are doing SEN
sible thing in striking at what many
people consider the main root Of
proflteering and hting prices. That
is the excess cost Of distribution. To
many our methods Of distribution
seem to look less to the utilization
Of the modern machinery of ex-
change for the benefit Of the mass
than they do to the aggrandizement
Of those who stand between the con-
sumers and the producers.
This theory may not be sound, as
others maintain. But by planning
an experiment to test it's soundness
from one angle the brotherhoods
show practical wisdom. If they by
self-help can eliminate excess dis
tribution costs, they will put others
in way to do the same. They will
make the first breach in that rising
wall Of living costs at which gov
ernment quasi-regulation has been
beating in vain. The high cost of
living can't be reduced by moral
augmentation. But the consumers
and producers may be able to re-
duce it by getting into closer rela-
tions with each other.

when he sought to set up here an or
ganization responsive to alien con-
troll; 1t has not been kindly to any
who put allegiance to outside ecclesi-
astical authority above allegiance to
the country.
Columbia has always been jeal-
Gus mistress. The Indignation which
has famed up against those who
would overthrow democratic institu-
tions as part of the program of a
worldwide attempt to revert to the
barbarism Of force Is not new.
Socialists Of all kinds, in view of
the kind who seemingly have secured
control of the Socialist organization,
have need to declare themselves.
What sort are they? Are they of
the evolutionary or revolutionary
type? Do they believe in law and
the ballot box, or do they believe in
force and direct action?
The hearing to be afforded the AL
bany five will give all members of
the party a chance to make their

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: l have just been reading on
the front page of to-day's Tribune an
article headed "Shoe Price Jump Pre-
dicted." In 1t the public is told that
there is to be so per cent increase
In the price of shoes this summer.
Now, the question which arises in
my mind and which of late l have fire.
quently heard put, is: Why, if pre-
sumably there is shortage of leather
and that is the reason the price has
jumped SO, does one see leather coats
being worn in large numbers all over
the city? 1t would seem that this win
ter particularly the fashion in leather
coats has been pushed"

explanation could be given mo on the
subject. EDITH WETMORE.

The Magic Hen
Endless Eggs of Gold for the
Lucky Farmer

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; The letter Of Arthur P. Fair
neid on Egg Costs" is just another
example of how perfectly incapable Of
taking care Of their own interests are
farmers and other producers of eggs.
The figures given by your CORE
spondent are one-sided and incom-
plete. In the first place, a real farmer

vermin.
thus, you ses, the charge of 81
against the hens can be eliminated.
Ihen on the credit side for the hen
Is the benefit to the farm of having
livestock thereon. The manure vslue
should be worth SO cents per annum
a hen, making for fifty hens for De-
cember, say, $208.
Then, again, there Is q profit which
can hardly be put in figures by the
farmer when 1t is considered that the
nen destroys large quantities Of hop
pers and other destructive insects,
weed seeds, etc.
Tho above are only what may be
called the running" profits but the
nen has yet an inventory value. Sup
posing your correspondent-or any
other farmer-had sold these hens. on

deeper and sounder basis for the
booming automobile industry.
The motor car has been for most
users transformed In the last few
years from a luxury and an ex-
travagance to utility and an
economy. It has graduated from
the classification with fur coats and
pearl necklaces to a rank with the
kitchen stove and the sewing ma
chine. The cars Of luxury still exist.
But the great bulk Of the automo-
bile trade is devoted to filing ele-
mental needs Of modern American
life with the greatest possible COM
fort and at the lowest possible ex-
pense. The aim is to build a car at
the lowest possible price which will
operate at a minimum cost Of up
keep, and which will wear year after
year. The car that has to be turned
in at the end of couple Of years
is thing of the past. The car Of
to-day must be sound and hale at the
end of five years. It must travel in
all weathers, upon all roads.
It was just because the car Of a
decade ago failed in all these I'm
portant respects that it was properly
classed as a luxury. And it is be-
cause the car Of to-day offers such
a vastly increased and improved
service that 1t occupies the position
it does to-day as a faithful carry-all
for the great American family. The
income of the country never was
so widely distributed as to-day. There
never were so many families in a
position to avail themselves, as a
matter Of sound economy, Of the
manifold services Of this new and
marvellous combination - Dobbin-
plus-bugg uggy-rockaway-and-cart.
Small wonder that the motor car
industry is in such a sound and
prosperous condition!

The Berger Case
4 Precedent for the Exclusion Of
a Representative

10 tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial "Mr. Mann
Slips Again" you refer to the Wilkes
and Bradlaugh cases in the English Par
Lament. I would like to invite vour at-
tentton to tho case Of Mr.. B. F. White
more, who was elected to the l0th Con-
gress from South Carolina. After he
was seated serious charge (not that
OF disloyalty) was made against him.
The House committee reported against
nm and recommended that he be ex-
PEELED. In tho mean time, In order to
avoid the judgment, he sent his resigna-
ton to the Governor Of the state. who
promptly accepted 1t. The House. how
ever, refused to receive the paper and
adopted a resolution expelling him.
Whittemore appealed to his constituency
and was reelected by a large majority.
but the House refused to seat him.
He then withdrew from the contest
and J. H. Rainey, negro, was elected
to fill the vacancy.
l do not see how the reelection of
Mr.. Berger would, in the least, lessen
the charges, which were proved and
which disqualified him from holding a
seat in the House. Nor can see
wherein his reelection would take any,
thing away from the prerogative of
the House to be the judge Of its own
membership. That is a constitutional
right Of the House, and can be taken
away only by an amendment to the
Constitution.
You also ask in. the editorial re-
ferred to. "Who has the final saw p"
The fact that the House passes upon
the credentials of member is con-
elusive evidence that that body has the
last say.
If the constituents of Mr.. Berger
persist in reslecting him, then they
must suffer the penalty of being with
out representation in the United States
House Of Representatives until they can
send a loyal American to represent
them.
l believe 1t was Republican Repre-
sentative from Illinois who prevented
the vote from being unanimous for ex-
pelling Mr.. Berger when his case came
before the House.
