3, TIIE SUNDAY ORKGOXIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL 1920 SECRETARY POST IN LINE FOR TROUBLE Probe of Alleged Friend . of Reds Due Soon. JUSTICE HELD THWARTED Sensational Disclosures Promised in House Investigation of As - sistant Secretary's Acts.V OnECTO.VIAN NEWS BUREAC. Wash ington. April 24. Much trouble, is in tore for Louis F. Tost, assistant secretary o labor, in the near future unless all Mirim fail. An inTSjtig-. tion of Mr. Post will begin before the house rules committee- next Tuesday to determine the form of action to be taken by the house rela tive to the assistant secretary's al ii sed laxity toward alien radicals. A report compiled from the records in several deportation cases by VV. A. Blackwood, of (Seattle, a special in . estimator for the house immigration committee, will be submitted to -the rules committee. Mr. Blackwood was one of the men placed in charge of the papers in deportation cases seized soma time ago by a sub-committee of the immigration committee which descended suddenly one atterrton on the office of Assistant Secretary l'ost. - Maay Offeaaea ChariEetl. The Blackwood report contains about 200 newspaper columns of type and points out case . alter case in which Post is declared to have stretched a point .either to set' free dangerous radicals' held for deporta tion or to favor such lawyer" as Harry Weinberger of New Yor who, was attorney for Alexander Bark man 'and Kmma Goldman . and. has been retained by numerous aliens-.ar-rested on charges of advocating over throw of the government. The report will show, it is under stood, that in numerous cases Assist ant Secretary Post canceled warrants for deportation after a full and fair hearing of the alien had been held and violent sympathies had been ad mitted. Other cases are those of al leged radicals released in the custody of such lawyers as Weinberger,, who failed to produce their clients when the time came finally to dispose of them. Some AnnrrhlNtn "Good." It will also be shown that Post, has differentiated between good anarch ists and bad anarchists, all the same as a minister or priest might discr'in inate between bad sinners and good sinners but don't. One case that will be gone itto in detail will be that of 1'aul Bosco, who was convicted at Jlorgantown, AV. Ara.. In 1917, for vio lation of the espionage, act. Bosco, a Russian born near the Ger man border, was regarded as such a ! dangerous character by the labor or ganizations at Morgantown that they helped to get rid of him. He was-sen-tenced to the Atlanta penitentiary af ter he had declared in the court room that when he was released he hoped to find the red flag flying above the Stars and Stripes. Release la Ordered. When an immigration inspector went to Atlanta some time ago to examine him with regard to his de- portHtion he declared that he had not changed his mind. The record of tbe case shows-a determination of Com missioner-General CamlnettJ "to deal' firmly. with Bosco, but tbat suddenly, in response to. a demand from Attor ney Weinberger, Assistant Secretary Post ordered the alien released on ball of OOOu. ThiUs only ope. however, of many such cases. It will also be charged. and evidence will be submitted In sup port of the charge, that radical law yers have been able to gel complete records of cases of aliens arrested, wrjile such records have been denied to tb. house committee on immigra tion. ' Heaioval May Be Asked. . Just what form the action against Post will take is undecided. It may be that tre house will ask the presi dent to remove him .-and then, if ac tion is not forthcoming, the resolu-r tion of impeachment offered by Rep resentative Hoch of Kansas will be considered.- WOOD IS FACING TEST Continued From First Page.) argued, the San Francisco convention canadopt a conservative platform and leave the candidate to take care of th radical vote. The theory Is that Mr. McAdoo, like his father-in-law. would not be embarrassed by his plat form, it will be recalle that tn 1912 Mr. AVjlson was pledged to. one- term in the AVhite House and to free tolls through the Panama canal,, but "no sooner did he win until both pledges were upset. .

Today there is a revival of third term tala,, but it is . well enough known that there is no foundation for any pretense of knowledge as to what Woodrow Wilson lias In contempla tion.
