PLANNED To GET
CONTROL Of ALL
LABOR UNIONS
Communists Documents Seized
Disclose Astounding Con-
spiraCy; About 4,500 Un-
der Arrest Now.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Plans of the
communist and communist labor par
ties, against whom the great raids by
government officials inaugurated Fri
day night are directed, to gain control
of all labor organizations as the means
of fomenting revolution, were re-
vealed tonight In documents made
public by the department of justice.
Assistant Attorney General Garvan
made public the documents which
were seized in several cities with the
desire. he said, that the American peo-
pie learn "the real purpose of these
menacing groups and the nature of
the propaganda they were spreading"
Department agents in many cities
continued today the work of running
down and interrogating 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, depart
ment officials were not overlooking
these. Their cases will be turned over
to state governments.
Two hundred and eighty persons ar
rested today in Detroit We're added to
the list of those taken into custody.
which is fast approaching $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; Jackson

Courtland N. Y. l6; Woodlawn, Pa,
2. Des Mones, I s; Spokane, 10; Port
land, Ore, g. and Toledo and Pitts
burgh, each and Denver, l.
Among those arrested in Portland
was Victor Saulit, who attracted at
tention by his activities as a delegate
to the August convention of the COM
munist labor party in Chicago. In Spo-
kane, federal agents took into custody
Peter Fedorchuk, who, officials said,
had been one of the most dangerous
agitators with whom they had to deal
in the northwest.
In their plan to "bore from within
in the labor unions, as disclosed IN
the manifesto and program, the
leaders of the communist and COM
munist labor parties outlined the pro-
gram for melting simultaneous small
strikes and develoument of these into
mass action. The plan of action was
given in detail from small strikes to
minor mass strikes; from minor mass
strikes to general strikes and from
general strikes to the dictatorship OF
the proletariat through revolution
What Manifesto Says.
The manifesto" says:
"The unions are not organs OF the
militant class struggle now. Today
the dominant unionism is actually a
bulwark of capitalism merging IN

the movement has been actively pro-
NOTED in many quarters.
Should the committee make such
n recommendation it generally IS
conceded that the convention would
adopt it. Only a majority is required
to nominate by republican conven-
tions.
Names Not Disclosed
The names of speakers for the
Thursday night banquet had not been
made public tonight, but it was un-
dorstood that several of those men
toned for the presidency would de-
liver addresses. Mr., Bryan, returning
to the party councils for the first

So great has been the demand for

this way about 400 are to be seated
Two subjects earnestly discussed
among the gathering leaders tonight
were the part Mr.. Bryan would play
in the campaign and the attitude
of President Wilson toward the pres
idential nomination.
Bryan Is Active.
MIR. Bryan apparently has made ex-
tensive plans to get into the political
swim again, bst whether he will be
candidate for the nomination or will
attempt to become the controlling
factor in the convention has not been
clearly demonstrated.
Speculation about the course of
President Wilson has raised the ques-
ton whether he intends TO seek re-
nomination and whether, If he steps
aside, he will actively support some
one of the aspirants. No authorita-
tive reply to these queries has come
from the White House nor has it been
indicated definitely whether he would
touch on these subjects in his Jack
son day message, as many of the
leaders expect him TO do,

Worst Thing That Could 0C-
cur Would Be Drop Back,
Even Within Seven Years,
to Level of 1918.

Washington, Jan. 4.-No prospect
of any considerable fall in prices for
several years to come, is seen by
Royal Meeker, commissioner of labor
statistics and head of the bureau
which collects information on the
trend of prices used by the govern
ment in official negotiations con-
cerning wages and similar questions
He recommends a monetary unit of
value to replace the present units of
weight.
People generally are yearning so
intently for lower prices that they
have not thought much about the re-
suits OF falling prices" Mr.. Mcekcr
said.
"The prices we kicked about
in 1913 have come to be regarded
as ideal. Untold distress has
been caused by the rapid price
increases of the past four years
The sufferings already endured
by the people through rising
prices will be multiplied ten fold
If prices drop within the next
seven years to the 1913 level. A
period of falling prices Is always
a time Of business depression,
failures and unemployment"

Washington, Jan. A. The national
capital is to be the rallying ground
during the coming week for national
leaders of the democratic party who
will choose the time and place for the
1920 national convention, talk over
candidates and policies, and renew
acquaintances at "a Jackson day love
feast, which many of them believe
will make party history
Although only one day Thursday,
Is set aside for formal business, lead
ers of various magnitudes already
were arriving tonight for a week of
conferences and gossipping~ over the
outlook for the presidential campaign.
Choice of the convention city and
time Is to be the only business direct
ly taken up by the national commit
tee Thursday, but an effort probably
will be made TO have it recommend
that the committee nominate a presi
dent and vice president by majority
vote In place of the two-thirds re-
quired in past years.
Former Candidates Present.
At the banquet that night several
aspirants for the presidential nomina-
ton are to outline their policies. Two
former nominees, William Jennings
Bryan and Alton B. Parker, will be
present. and President Wilson is ex
pected to send a message in which
many leaders believe he may state his
position toward a third term.
Six cities are in the race for the
convention, Chicago, already selected
as the convention city of the republi
cans: Kansas City, San Francisco, In
dianapolis. Cincinnati and Cleveland
Discussion generally centers on late
June or early July as the time of
meeting.

democratic custom OF referred a two
thirds vote to nominate started some
weeks ago at a meeting of the ma
tiopal committee in Atlantic City, and

Sees Further Initiation.

Declaring that the government Of
the world could not reduce their in
debtedness suddenly, the commission
er said the credit which would have
to be extended to Europe by this
country would produce further infla-
tion, thus boosting prices stil
higher Similarly the worlds pro-
duction Of goods cannot be increased
suddenly. For that reason, he said,
fear that Europe would flood Ameri-
can markets to the detriment of do
nestle industry was unfounded
"The normal seasonal drop in prices
may be expected in 1920, Mr., Meeker
continued. .In normal times the low
price level for all commodities com
hincd comes in March, April or May.
These seasonal price changes are
relatively small and WIFI have but lit
tie effect upon tho housewives eX-
penditures. No great and sudden fall
in prices seems possible for a long
time.
Needs Production.
production should be speeded 10
the limit and debts should be paid
hot with more debts, but with eco
nomic goods and services. These
processes should be set in motion
without delay. 1t will require several
years to readiust industry and trade
on a firm basis again. In the mean
time the United States government
should i'm my judgment, join with the
other leading governments of the
world in the creation of an interna-
tional commission to study ways and
means Of getting up true and rela-
lively constant standard of value to
displace the present monetary units
which are merely units of weight and
consequently variable in value or pur-
chasing power. The most important
constructive work that can be done in
any field is the establishment Of
stable standard of value, SO that all
the people. rich and poor, employer
and employe, bond holder and stock
holder, may be spared for all time the
agonies of changing price levels.
