RAIDS IN MANY CITIES CATCH RADICALS IN NET Department of Justice Agents Active in Thirty-three Places. ActivityExtends From Coa&t to Coast. Washington, Jan. 2.?Launching a concerted and carefully prepared] movement against communist and' communist labor groups of radicals, agents of the department of justice tonight conducted raids in 33 cities j .wf a? Ir* cr frAlYi tn fnosi:. CAIfcUUlUf, ^ ^ - V ^ Raids were conducted in the following: cities: New York, Baltimore, Boston, Buf*al5, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Dcs Moines, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Hartford, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Fia., 'vansas City, Los Angeles, Louisville, Milwaukee, Newark, Omaha, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, Me., Portland, Ore., Providence, San Franc is o, Scranton, Spokane, St. Lcuis, St. j *aul_ Fnrirafield. Mass.. Svracuse,! Toledo and Trenton. j The object of the raids, Assistant i Ytfcorney Garvan said, was to obtain j "or submission to the department of ; "abor cases for deportation of "a J very large number of our most j langerous anarchists and radical agi- j 'ators." Agents cf the department,; he added, went out prepared to catch j ;he radicals "with the goods." The general charge of attempting ! overthrow the government by; orce and violence was placed against j ? i il !J. i be persons arrested curing ine raius. i Officials declared they believed that' : everal hundred members of the Communist and Communist Labor -arty would be behind the bars be-1 ? i lore morning. Careful Flans Made. Officials here declared the r.rt;cn-' ^vide round up was the most ccnple e'y planned and the machinery was the :,.est oiled for .this of any ra;d~ 'aunched agr:nst the radical clcme::'.. n this country. It was avrar-ed * .10me ten days r?;o that 'he in' ' should take place ton'rht and conf> lential comauinicaticr3 were re::': to lepartmc " of justice repvc?3n' ^ "v nn<d United S-r.te^ attorneys in : C cities. Derurlrncv.t of justice sired meet of r.ll to capture incrV.vnatin? documents not 20 much of -h: literature and propaganda but papers showing details of the communist organizations in each city. It was indicated that if such evidence were obtained, deportation of the persons concerned would be an.easy matter. As in the case of the members of the Union of Russian Work ers, several score of whom were aboard the transport Buford, which sailed from New York ten days ago, membership cards in the organization were regarded by officials as constituting the best documentary evidence on which to base deportation cases. Officials said the only difference between the communist party and the communist labor party was one of badership. Both have been endeavoring to bring about the establishment of a soviet form of government in "his country since their organization last September, according to officials. Documents gathered by federal : gents recently show conclusively, it was said that plans were drawn up by he leaders cf each of these parties to he development of a score or more ? scviets throughout the country. ' hese were to be urged under a soviet crunch similar to that which now c:^:ts in r.ussia according* to Mr. Garvan. W: Amour; Ne^rccs. The department revealed tonight ctivities of these two organizations among the negroes. Their attempts to organize tne negroes in upport of plan to overthrow the, resent political and economic sysem were carried far and officials admitted that this propaganda h: 1 one to such a length that trouble lay yet be expected among certain ::eg?o communities. Mr. Garvan made public iniorma' :on gathered by federal agents howing the nature of the work done imong the negroes. One document contains the following: I "In close connection with the un-' killed workers is the problem of the ^.egro. The negro presents a politi-j al economic problem. The racial ppression of the negro is simply the . xpression of his economic bondage :'.nd oppression each intensifying the ->ther. This complicates the negro -problem but does not alter its proletarian character. The communist ^arty will carry on agitation among the negro workers to unite them with all class conscious workers." The communist party recently pread broadcast among its adherents :? "manifesto" setting fcrAh -"ts views .:nd plans. Wlvle of^c'^h h.?ve been *nab!e to obtain a s'rrlar document /-> ? > ?

I "The communist party is the conscious expression of the class strug- ; -le of the workers against capitalism.

A-nong Foreign Element. The communist labor group was i said to have directed its propaganda ( more generally among the foreign element of citizenry. From several ; sources, federal agents gleaned in- , formation appealing to the foreign ? workers with the argument that the j present government was Unfriendly to < them and that their rights would ] never be respected by the appointed j authorities. The insertion of the . * * M fhQ n WOrcl "iaDOr " m me aamc v/i. iuv. party was regarded by officials as , only a subterfuge, the leaders realizing that it would lend strength ( to their argument among foreign- \ ers. ] Mr. Garvin expressed the opinion j that the leaders of the two parties T had a "working agreement" and \ planned eventually to bring all the ] radicals under one communist party and ^hereby amass enough strength ( to upset the constituted government. Cilicials are working on the theory thn4- r. lv>hev power is directing the ' work of both organizations and that, the leaders wiio are Denma in is directing hand only recently have come to this country from Russia. This r belief, they raid, was supported by c evidence gathered by representatives i of this and allied governments in the r he art of soviet Russia. It is known 1 that agents of the allied nations have I been working for nearly two years z among the followers cf Lenin e an J I Trotzky and their efforts have re- 1 sulied in connecting links in the I chain of soviet propaganda in this country and the soviet leaders of r Russia. t ? f MUST GET NEW PLATES .] ( Auto Owners Throng H;ghway Office \ for Licenses. ? i . j The State, 3rd. j Eight thousand five hundred auto- < mobile plates for 1920 have already ( been issued by the state highway de- . partment, and many of the new plates 1 ATI f are seen on ine cats upciaung uu the streets of Columbia, though there l are probably more 1919 plates still i being used than those of the new ] year. 1 The 1919 licenses expired Decern- j ber SI, 1919, and the new cr.es are 1 - * i#*_ new ard have oeen on sa'.e ior several weeks.
