Attorney-General Palmer, in An
nual RejHjrt, Reviews Fight on
HigJi Prices, Trust Evils.
WASHINGTON", Dec. 10. The cam
paign against the high cost of living,
efforts to break up trusts and combi
nations in restraint of trade and the
government's fight on radicalism are
reviewed by Attorney-General Palmer
in his annual report sent today to
congress.
In a discussion of the radical prob
lem, Mr. Palmer discloses that the de
partment of justice has developed a
card-index system, containing more
than 200,000 cards, giving derailed
data on the activities of ultra-radicals
and their organizations, as well as a
complete library of reference on the
general radical movement.
Ninety- per cent of the communist
and anarchistic agitation during the
last year, the attorney-general says,
is traceable to aliens. This agitation,
he adds, is not confined to the so
called "economic evils," but has been
directed also toward the stirring up
of racial prejudice. One of the fer
tile fields, the says. Is among the ne
groes who "have been appealed to di
rectly for suppoit in the movement
to overthrow the government of the
United States."
Foreign Language Prfa Violent. -
The foreign language press has been
"particularly noticeable for its strong
ultra-radical leanings," the attorney
general says. He declares that the
spread of radical doctrines has been
'aided in s6 or more foreign lan
guage newspapers in the United
States.
The results of the January raids on
the communist and communist labor
party meetings,. Mr. Palmer says,
caused a marked temporary cessa
tion" in radical activities here. Meet
ings of the communist and anarchistic
groups were suspended and were fol
lowed later by the declaration of the
American delegate to the third Inter
nationale at Amsterdam that the Jan
uary raids had destroyed the hopes
of the communists in America.
Mr. Palmer recites the legislative
programme laid before congress at its
last session in which he said existing
laws did not permit the government
to carry on the sort of prosecution re
quired in the case of some of the rad
ical groups, notably the Industrial
Workers of the World, whose activ
ities the department has been unable
to touch in most instances,
Anti-Trust Prosecution Slow.
Turning to law-enforcement activ
ities, the attorney-general says the
government collected approximately
$4,532,000 in fines and judgments in
the last year. Of this, $2,452,000 came
. from fines in criminal prosecutions,
while the remainder was collected in
civil proceedings.
Twenty-eight anti-trust "cases are
pending in the various district courts
over the country and the supreme
court of the United States. Frank K.
Nebeker, assistant to the attorney
general, in his special report on the
subject, says that prosecution of these
cases is proceeding as rapidly as the
machinery of thecourts having juris
diction can be moved. Sixteen cases
against alleged trusts or combinations
in restraint of trade have been insti
tuted in the last 12 months and 12
others have been disposed of by final
court action, Mr. Nebeker says.
The report shows that in its cam
paign to lowr living costs, the de
partment brought a total of 2016 legal
actions under the Lever act. Of these,
1049 were on direct charges of -profiteering.
Other actions included
prosecutions under the provisions
against hoarding, manipulation of
food stocks, conspiracies, etc. Indict
ments were drawn in 771 instances,
the report says, and to date 99 sen
tences have been imposed. t
Changesln Lam Recommended.
Mr. Palmer makes numerous rec
ommendations for changes in laws,
most of which have bten sought for
several years previously by his pred
ecessors. 'He asks that the moot ques
tion of the right of the government
, to have a stenographer before grand
juries be definitely established by
SCHOOL FIGHT IN COURT
WRIT OF REVIEW OX ACTION
OP BOUX'DAKT BOARD ASKED.
Question Involved by Taxpayer's
Suit Is. "What Constitutes
Majority of Votes.
ALBANY, Or, Dec. 10. (Special.)
The Crawfordsville nigh school fight
found its way into the state circuit
court here yesterday when proceed
ings were begun for a writ of review
of the procedure before the district
boundary board of Linn county re
cently when the Union high school
district which s'upported the high
school In that town was dissolved.
The election through which the dis
trict was dissolved is declared in
valid in the complaint filed yesterday.
Several years ago Union high school
district No. 3 wa,s organized to in
clude the Crawfordsville school dis
trict and some adjoining districts.
Since then this district has main
tained a high school at Crawfordsville,
a town on the Calapooia river, nine
miles-above Brownsville.
At the beginning of the present
school year the directors decided that
because of the increased expense the
high school would not be maintained,
but that the district funds would be
used in transporting the pupils in the
high school grades to the high school
at Brownsville.
Petitions were then filed for an
election to dissolve the Union high
school district. The election was held
and the majority of. the districts voted
for dissolution. The big vote in the
Crawfordsville district in favor of the
retention of the school made a ma
jority numerically against dissolu
tion. The district boundary board
ruled, hwever, that a majority of the
school districts composing the Union
district rather than a majority of the
total number of votes cast in the
Union district governed and declared
the district dissolved.
The proceedings to review this pro
cedure were instituted by John Mc-
Kercher, a resident and taxpayer of
the Crawfordsville district.

LABOR PROBLEM GROWS
Employers Crged to Give Work
First to Portland Men.
During the present season of un
employment. Portland employers are
urged to give preference to residents
of Portland, and particularly to men
with families.
This plea Is made in a statement-
issued yesterday by four employers
selected by Acting Mayor Bigelow to
canvass the unemployed situation, and
report to the general committee re
cently appointed by Mayor Baker. -
In the statement, following a meet
ing of the sub-committee, composed
of F. H. Ransom, F. I. Fuller, N. F.
Johnson and Hilmar Papst, it is said
that many more men are coming to
Portland seeking employment than
there are jobs in the city.
The committee states that while
such a condition is temporary, and not
unusual at this season of the year. It
desires to make known existing con
ditions so that laboring men who are
non-residents of Portland may know
the facts and avoid coming here seek
ing employment. ,
