CHICAGO LABOR
DENOUNCEs RAID
ON ANARCHISTS


Chicago, Jan. 4.--The Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor today adopted two
resolutions of protest against the fed
eral raids against radicals on January
2. one declared the executive board
suspected these raids are part of
the gigantic plot TO destroy organized
labor by the employers" and that
among those arrested were officials
of a local cigar makers union and
that the latter's records had been
seized. The second resolution de-
clared the federal agents acts were
'repressions resembling czaristic
methods in Russia"
The department of justice roundup
of radicals will be a continuing one,
John T. Creighton, special assistant
attorney general said today in an
nouncing that the government raids
here had yielded 224 persons. out of
more than 300 arrested for deporta-
ton.
A mass meeting to devise means OF
aiding the arrested radicals has been
called for tomorrow night. Among
the speakers will be Louis Engdahl,
who was convicted with Victor Berger
and three other socialist leaders of
violating the espionage act.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
which recently protested against de-
portation of radicals. tonight reported
receipt of a communication of appre-
citation from the Pacific Coast Labor
league.

QUICK ACTION ON
BILL PENDING IN
CONGRESS URGED
Attorney General Wants Leg
isIation Immediately to En-
able Him to Prosecute En-
emieS of Our Government.


Washington Jan. 4.--Unable to
prosecute the so-called parlor Bolshe-
visits, long haired men and short
haired women. who encourage agita-
tors and promote sedition as pas
time, Attorney General Palmer today
issued an appeal to congress for
prompt action on the bill submitted by
him several months ago, which would
strengthen the hand of the depart
ment of justice in dealing with Ameri-
can citizens considered dangerous to
the nation.
Coming on the heels of the most
successful nation wide raid ever made
in this country on centers of radical
propaganda, Mr.. Palmers statement
was regarded with unusual interest by
members of congress.
At least one of the men taken in the
raid is a city official and numerous
others are natives or have taken out
citizenship papers, 1t is these that
MIR. Palmer desires to handle through
the federal courts rather than to
leave their punishment to state tri-
bunals, and in the absence Of a federal
law he is unable to do so.
'1n order that the department of
justice" Mr.. Palmer's statement said,
may deal forcibly, effectively and
quickly with seditionists who are
American citizens, but who are seek
ing 10 iriurc or Ge6tvoy the WoTefn-
'rcGt, J hr,v cry So siss sN0,. CO.
gress Immediately upon the reconven-
ing on January 5, will enact into law
a measure adequate to meet the grave
situation now confronting us.
There exists no reason for delay
in the enactment of such law and
confidently expect that there will be
none. That seditionists should be pun
ished is denied by no loyal citizen and
that our present laws are inadequate
is questioned by none familiar with
the facts.
Several months ago in appearing
before a senate committee l made
clear the fact that the department of
justice was unable to proceed proper
ly against seditionists because of
lack of statutory definition of the
crime, and l also suggested the kind
of a law which / thought would meet
the situation,
"Since that time the bill l outlined
has been introduced in the house by
Representative Davey of Ohio, and It
is now in the hands Of a sub-commit-
tee. Epitomized the bill, after prop
erly defining acts of sedition, would
provide for a fine of not more than
$4,000 or imprisonment of twenty
years, or both, for any person guilty
of sedition; a fine of not more than
$4,000 or imprisonment of not more
than ten years, or both, for ang person

ABOUT 900 AGITATORS

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 1.-Two hum

local police in a second raid on the
"House of Masses" known as head
quarters of radicals here. Today's
raid brings to approximately 900 the
number of alleged radicals rounded
UP here in the last forty eight hours.
Two meetings were in progress in

.SINN FELNERS MAKE ATTACK
ON THE POLICE BARRACKS;
LASTS FOR THREE HOURS
tBy Morning journal Special Leased wIrel

the building and seized and hand
cuffed the policemen. They searched
the buildings, removed the arms, am
munition, accoutrements and money,
then held council to the disposal
of the police and decided to leave
them bound, but threatened that If
an attempt was made to repair the
building they would return and com
plete its destruction.
The raiders left after cutting the
telephone communications, but police
assistance finally arrived from Cork.
None of the policemen was hurt. The
sergeant's wife and family, also in the
barracks, were uninjured.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Cork says:
"A further sensational outrage is
reported from the Cork district. The
police barracks was blown up last
night The police sergeant and his
family had a miraculous escape, the
explosives having been placed on an
adjoining table.
Some time prior to the attack
large numbers of bicyclists and motor
cyclists were seen converging upon
the village of Carrigtohill, eight miles
from Cork. They had no lights and
when challenged by the police patrols
escaped into the neighboring fields.
The patrols returned to their quarters
and found that the wire communica-
tions with the surrounding towns had
been cut. They managed to get news
to Middleton and armed police were
dispatched to the scene
The Press association says that 100
men were engaged Minor attacks on
the police barracks also occurred
Saturday night at Inchgeelagh and
South Kilmurry.
The wires were cut In both in
stances, but nobody was injured.
