distributing circulars without a license.
Tho dodger boro the caption "The Volca

tho coming Communist millennium and
ths call upon labor to "arise." Tho no

even the gentle sprinkle of rain early In
tho afternoon sufficed to discourage

IMPEACHMENT TOO SLOW
MAY DAY IS PEACEFUL
IN WESTERN STATES
Chicago Roundup Continue;
1,000 Now in Jail.
Chicago, May 1. May Day passed
quietly In tho Central States and the far
West, virtually no disorder being re
ported, although Federal, State and city
forces had made elaborate preparations
to deal with threatened disturbances.
Strikes wcro called In a number of
cities and mass meetings wero held lr
Chicago and elsewhere, but all were
conducted peacefully. Radical litera
ture was distributed In some places and
a few arrests were made.
While the Federal Building In Chi
cago was heavily guarded and police,
and Federal nnents watched a half
doxen gatherings, chief attention wax
paid to the "black belt," where race
riots were feared when negro families
moved Into white neighborhoods. Re
nerve militiamen guarded rifles, ammu
nition and other Government properly
at an armory and 500 policemen and de
tectives patrolled the negro quarter, but
no disorder occurred.
Strikes of cooks and waiters In several
Chicago hotels and restaurants and tho
general confusion Incident to the annual
spring moving day, when scores of ten
ants refused to vacate their apartments,
inrgely overshadowed Slay Day develop
ments.
Tho police cotlnued their roundup of
criminal suspects, but Chief of Police
Garrlty said the arrests had no connec
tion with expected May Day disorder?. "

passed off an a holiday jubilation at the

shades of radicalism. There was no hint
anywnere of disorder.
Threatened sabotage on Jobs and the
ttrlKe on the railways failed to materia

moved on schedule unhampered, and the
trtrcatoned Btrlct adherence to archaic
and unhonorcd rules which local'bodles
proposed was discountenanced from no
tlonal headquarters. In fact, so prompt

Washington, May 1. A revolution
requesting President Wilson to remove
from office Louis F. Post, Assistant Sec
retary of Labor, on charges of blocking
the deportation ot violent radical aliens
la now favored by majority of tho
Houso Rules Committee an a substitute
for Impeachment proceedings, recently
asked by Representative Hoch (Kan.).
Members of the committee are convinced
that the charges against Mr. Post al
ready have been sustained In hearings
before the cemxntttea and. arc desirous
of effecting his removal as soon as possi
ble. Impeachment would bo a long
drawn out affair, they believe, while
action- could be obtained this month
through a resolution requesting his re
moval. Mr. Post's attorneys have been Insist
ing that the Investigating committee in
quire Into nearly 2,000 cases In which
lie Is alleged to have violated the depor
tation laws. This would require many
months, while under the removal resolu
tion the Investigating committee would
have sufficient grounds to act ngalnst
Mr. Post If It. Is conclusively proved that
ho released aliens who advocate tho
overthrow of this Government -by force
and violence and thus come under the
section of Uie law making It mandatory
for the Department of Labor to deport
them.
Action on what plan will lo pursued
probably will bo taken by the Hules
Committee Monday, Chairman Campbell
(Kan.) said to-day.
More charges against Mr. Tost wero
made by Representative Davcy (Ohio)
before the Rules Committee,
1,000 Freed by Post.
"Since lost November 1," Mi. Davey
charged, "Mr. Post has ordered the re
lease outright and cancelled warrants In
approximately 1.600 cafes where arrests

though. r the evidence against him had
been collected by the Department. His
refusal was based on tho pretext that
to permit tho Department to question
Martens would be a reflection on tho
immigration Inspector conducting tho
case.
V. S. Hobbled In Prosecutions.
"Resides cancelling warrants on the
ground- that evidence against suspects
was unlawfully obtained. Post is In
structing that copies of his data, in such
cases be supplied to attorneys for ac
cused aliens, but not to the Department
of Justice, and Is giving every possible
aid and comfort to the avowed enemies
ot this country and blocking the Depart'
ment ot Justice at every turn.
"Post has Instructed all Immigration
stations to parole Communists Into tho
custody of their attorneys, or If tho at
torncys are not reputable to release tho
prisoners on their own recognlsanco.
"Such men as Post nro a menace to
America, a living threat to our natlonnl
life. Tho Government should bo rid ot
him right oulck. Drive out of official
position this friend of the revolutionists
Let him go where. his heart Is Into their
ranks. Dorft let him drag down the
Government and the Constitution, which
ho has sworn to protect and defend.
Don't leave him where he can iserve tho
alien enemies of our country. When I
brought the case of Post before tho
Houso two weckB ago I promised to sup.
uort an Impeachment resolution offered
by a member of the majority that would
havo a chance of passage. I am hero
urging that the Hoch resolution be re
ported favorably."

agents III redoubled numbers were much

While In many quarters here the se

that Attomev-Genrral Palmer was cry-

Justice and where deportation had been
approved by both the Commissioner of
Immigration and the Inspector of Im
migration. Nearly all remaining aliens
caught In the Department of Justice net
either have been released with or with
out bond by Post," Mr. Davey said.
"Tom Mlllouskas, on alien member of
the Communist party arrested by the
Department of Justice, was released by
Post the flret of this week." he said,
"and within three days he was distri
buting circulars in Milwaukee urging a
general May Day strike, praising tho
Soviet form of Government and demand
ing a revolution."
Other allegations against Post made
by Mr. Davey follow:
Post Is deferring final action In
cases from three to elx months nnd per-!
mining suspects to move about without
surveillance.
"In tho case of Ivan Dudlnsky, for
merly secretary of the Communist party '
of New Jersey, whose extensive actlvl-l
ties caused the Department of Justice
to recommend a flO.000 bond. Post re
duced the bond to 11,000.
Post released Alberto Guabello, on
admitted anarchist of Paterson, N. J.,
and cancelled his deportation warrant.
"Post flatly refused to, permit Depart
ment of Justice representatives to ques

agents were fully forewarned must not

Three officials In Washington, a Jurist
In the West and a prominent man In
New York were particularly well guard
ed to-day. Tho Department of Justice
not only had proof that their assassina
tion was Intended, but had under sur
veillance the men known to be picked
for the Job. In no case were the as
sassins arrested. They were not per
mitted, however, to venture near their
Intended victims, and at least one was
technically held In custody for "exam
ination." The Attorney-General went about his
duties a-, usual to-day, but under closo
body guard. Ho was expected to spend
the evening nt his home, which was
bombed several months ago.
