POST SET HIMSELF HIGHER THAN LAW,
 DECLARES PALMER
Entire Official Career Is Marked By Friendliness Toward Reds, View of
 Attorney General
By Associated Press

Washington. June 1.-Attorney General Palmer. replying today before the House rules committee to critic isms leveled at his department by Louis r. Post, assistant Secretary of Labor, declared that Mir. Post had set himself above Congress and the law in the handling of deportation cases
 The Attorney General asserted that Assistant Secretary Posts en- tire official career had been marked by n friendIiness toward radicals, which had done much to- ward encouraging the growth and development of their programme. He further charged that Mir. Post had proceeded on his personal view that the deportation law is wrong, had defied the rules of evidence ms laid cown by the courts. had shown faNors to viola tors of the law and their attorneys, had refused "common courtesy" to the department of justice and had ''in order to distract public atten- tion from his obvious failure to per- form his own duty, shovered upon department of justice mass of charges of misconduct"

MORE TO BE FOUND


 MT. Palmer was before the commit tee. which was inquiring to the offi- cial conduct of Mir. Post. nearly five hours, and then did not complete his statement. He urged the committees to delve deep in Mir Posts record, declaring that many things which might interest you" could be found.
 Citing what he characterized as in- stances of MT. Posts mal-administra- tion, the Attorney General said the As sistant Secretary of Labor had seen fit to create in Detroit a committee known as the advisory committee of Detroit citizens" which, he said, had been permitted to pass upon all ques- tions of bond for aliens arrested on de. portation warrants. The Attorney Gen. eral added he knew of no authority of law for this action, yet Mir. Post had given this committee access to all gov ernment records He gave the com- mittee a copy of the telegram to P l.. Prentiss, immigration inspector at De- trot. in which Mir. Post instructed the inspector to release ten persons on bail of $500, The telegram added that ishould the advisory committee so elect, the aliens may be paroled in lieu of bail to the committee or such member there of as the committee may designate.n
 The department of justice Mi. Palmer H'iN'a he't btSh# ndHultdpDeu TOY many months" because it had "col- lided with the stubborn ncapacity of Louis F. Post in attempting to round up and rid the country of radicals
 MT. Palmer told the committee tt ad- Journment that in continuing his state- ment tomorrow he would give further details of very unsatisfactory rela- tions' between the department of jus tice and labor in dealing with deporta- ! ton cases.

When you see q Swift Refrie-
orator Car going by in a train, it
seems 3 simple thing that it should
be carrying 1resl2 meat up and down
the country.
Like most Of the packer activities which
contribute to your welfare, you are SO used
to having this going on uni1terrupGedly
day IN, day out, throughout the year, that
you are likely to take it as a matter OF course
But it is not matter Of course Every
car you see going by means long hours of
minute, scientific, Eoainstaking care in prep
aration for what it is doing.
Every Zine car comes in it is washed
out thoroughly with sca1diz1g water Tany
ta1nt, any foreign matter, were present, this
would get rid Of it. Even the meat hooks
are taken down from the racks and scalded
with water and live steam.
When the car is thoroughly cIearsed we
put in 5000 pounds Of ice. But that
IS only preliminary 1t only cools the car
to the proper temperature. BY the time
the car IS moved over to receive its load,
this nrst ice is melted. More is then
put in to keep the car cool.
Then the meat is hung on the steri1ized
hooks and the load of food is ready for its
journey. Ii arrives as it leaves, clean,
fresh, wholesome, appetzing; and your
meat supply goes on unaffected by seasons
Or weather.
This IS only part Of the service which
Swift q Company furnishes at a profit
to itself 50 small-averagIng a fraction of

OF fyears--tE1at il the profit were handed on to
the consumer, il would make difference of

tract from his victims, added another
S5O,OOO to his gleanings when he ne
gotiatcd with Hugh Robertson, the
builder, according TO Robcrtson's tcs-
tmony before the Lockwood Com
mittec yesterday. The demand was
for $4,000, n Brindell, so Robertson
stated, wanted only $4,000 immedi-
atcly in cash, and this Robertson
paid him, adding to it later until the
amount totallcd $4,000
Until Robertson testified, Brindell's
activities among builders and his
promises that no strikes would be
permitted TO occur on jobs whose
contractors had come across" yield
cd him about S42O,OO0 year. At
least that is what testimony has so
far disclosed as having been collect

every hearing Of the Lockwood Com

it would now seem that If the hear

Brindell made his demands quite
