5rrtKaoxiAx news- b u rbac,
;:shinjton, April 9. A decision
irjifule public tonieht by Acting Secre
tary of Labor Post in- the , case of
TfHmias Truss, Polish alien -arrested
i Baltimore in January by-the de
partment of justice on a charge of
lsfeprigr a member of the communist
1'iti'ty of America and the union of
-Itjissian workers, threatens to bring
iVo the open the bitter conflict that
fSJ- some time has been going on be
. liSnd the scenes between the depart
innt of labor and Attorney-General.
J'jl liner's office.
I.'1'he decision exonerates Truss in a.
ejee on which the department of jus
tice was doubly sure of its proof,
hivvinjr the admission of Truss that
)(J applied for membership in the
iftinniunist party and that' he had
. if other times belonged to the I. W. W.
ffid similar radical, organizations.
'iitit-'. Post decision and the statement
'-ompany.ing it, which criticises ie--ipiely.
all of the recent raids by the
(iianraent of justice, is expected to
li'inff an explosive retort from Attor-iSy-General
Palmer.
' Kxeniie m Fonnd.
i.V'itinir Secretary- -post. In his de
cision, excuses .Truss' former mem
l fj .ship in the I. W. W., on the ground
tlmt he had no otht-r organization to
jJ3n until a union of clothing workers
was formed, whereupon Truss joined
tC: ' latter- and dropped out of - the
xiijion of Russian workers, whose
iiwmbcrs are subject to deportation
itf.iier the. act-of October lti, 1916.
Oir. Post declares that the union
op" Russian workers was only educa
tional at the time of Truss' member
ship, and as to membership in the
communist party it is held that Truss
applied for. membership without un
derstanding ite full purposes,, it hav
iiWi been explained to him that the
7iimunist party sought nothing more
rxlical than the socialization of the
riwl roads,' the mines and all basic in
dustries, '
'f the wholesale arrests of alleged
radicals by the-department of justice
'Acting Secretary Post says: "1 have
uecribed this case at lengrh because
1; most if not all essentials it is
typical of a large proportion of fully
IMO cases I have decided after hear
3 &ti& -in which warrants had been
issued by the bureau of investigation
of the department of justice. As a
rule the hearings show the aliens ar
rested to be working men of good
character who have never been ar
rested before, who are not anarchists
or revolutionists, nor politically or
, otherwise dangerous in any sense.
HardKbip Held Pitiful.
"It is pitiful to consider the hard
ships to which they and their families
have been subjected during the last
three or four months by arbitrary ar
rest, long detention in default of
Itail beyond the means of hard-working
wage earners to give, for nothing
more dangerous than affiliation with
friends of their own race, country and
language, and without the slightest
indications of sinister motive or any
unlawful act within their knowledge
or intention.'
For the last ten days the depart
ment of justice has been about to boi'.
ovr at the release by Post of alleged
radicals taken in country-wide round
up" in January, and the ugly relations
bnfclveen the labor nd justice depart
ment has been further irritated and
strained by a personal attack made on
Attorney-General Palmer by Hugh
ltoid, to Acting Secretary Post, in a
net' publication called "The Knot
Hq?" of which Mr. Keid is one of
Uievcd'Uors. : " ' ' ''!'':

tn ridiculing . Palmer's presidential
ain-Vi-tlons the- Knot' Hole says:.
';Thi8 . is the kind of thing that
makes people wonder iwhether- Pa.1
nieA' knows any more about his own
moVes than . be does", about -the law.
Afw-r sizing up, the -only thing we can
finij which 'tjives us an inkling of -the
future, is Palmer's statement that the
att-wrney-generalship is the height of
hisambitlons. ' Our guess Is that it
Tviljt also be the height of his attain
jr.e"m. . And the evidence is- rather
strong: that he will not hold "his pres
entJJh very long." His ! attitude . on
TiiarJ presidential campaign' seems to
haw been' founded onltwo things, re
du3ag the cost of living and whole
sale deportations. The deportations
-doiot seem to be as .popular -.as Mr.
Pajiei- had imagined; and his theory
as reducing the cost of living does
i.orappear to have-worked out. He
sejjjis to'" have, reasoned very-' much
lik, thU'small'dog who thinks he. can
lirtn -C the. moon down by . barking at

fouji-everal months at the-cost of liv

thi'S- point we can do uo better than

ofCC ia'l statistics of the . department
of;Jiilior,' indicating a decrease last
month of three-tenths of i per cent,
i'ut-uiifr the two together we can but
saf that we have-great hopes for our
posterity."
Palmer is understood to have pro
tested to Polk against permitting an
tmploye of a department of the gov
ernment to be connected with such a
publication as the Knot Hole, but Reid
has announced that the next issue
-will.be hotter than the first."

That Petrova charmed Seattle and
was acclaimed as the. star of. star to

reviews of her act in that-eity.
"The act of Petrova, tragedienne,
screen star and vaudeville actress. Is
distinctly unlike anything else "that
has been staged at the Orpheum this ,
season," wrote one critic. "Although
a Slav by birth Petrova is essentially
Parisienne in her exquisite poise and
charm of manner. No American could
do what she does and impress an au

sings are- hot in themselves 'remark--able.
The excerpt from serious drama
she offers would be ineffective in lees
able hands. But with Petrova the most
commonplace lines or'the most ordi
nary music gains a new and alto
gether novel charm.

soits hostile to the cause of Chris
tian . Science."
At the office of the publishing so
ciety here it wa announced that
there was no vindictive purpose in
the suit, but it merely was intended
to brine to light- charges made
against the society by persons utterly
In the-.darR as - to why the charges
should.be nde.
- "The-1 ones making these charges
evidently did so innocently and in all
good faith," the statement continued.
"It is our desire therefore to air the
matter thoroughly so that all may
be set arlg-ht."
The resolutions were addressed "To
the Branch Churches of Christ, Scien
tist, and Christian Science Societies
in Northern California."

letters of response was written by
C. B. Clancey of Salem, otherwise
