WASHINGTON, :June 6.—The
identity of the anarchist who was
biown to bits in an attempt on the life
of Attorney General Palmer was ex
pected by Washington officials to be
cleared up by arrests in New York
today. Although efforts to identify
the man here has proved futile, Gov
ernment agents indicated today that
developments in New York would go
a long way toward clearing up the
plot, The arrest in that city of a
group of Spanish and Italian anarch
ists was expected they said. They
expressed the belief that the mystery
of the Washington vietim would be
cleared up at the same time,
In the meanwhile Government
agents and the Metropolitan police
were not relaxing their efforts here.
Six houses believed to be the haunts
of radicals were under the closest
surveillance and a number of per
sons of radical tendencies were being
watched, It became known today
that a conference of officials was held
late yesterday to decide whether
these radicals should be taken into
custody immediately. However, it
was decided to let them operate tem
porarily under the closest scrutiny in
the hope that indisputable evidence
migh be obtained against them,
It was said to be the policy of
Chief Flynn to urge the deportation
of practically every one who falls into
the red dragnet that has been spread
over the country, The Department
of Justice has turned this phase of
the situation over to the Department
of Labor, which is in conrol of the
deportation machinery. Labor l)f‘-;

that here would be “no blanket de
portations but that each case would
be disposed of on its individual mer

VANY OFFIGES
O WESTERN
UNION AR
GLOSED
! The fifth day of the strike against
‘the Southern Bell Telephone Compa
ny broke Friday with every Western
Union office in the oSutheastern
States crippled by a sympathetic
strike of commercial telegraphers
fro:r Richmond to Tampa and from
the Mississippi River to the Atlantic
coast. The strike had become a defi
nite issue between the workers and
the companies, with the Burleson or
der restoring all wire lines to private
owners,
Replying to a telegram sent Thups
day to 8. J. Konenkamp, international
president of the Commercial Telegra
phers’ Union and Telephone Opera
'tors' Assoclation, jointly with Post
master General A, S. Burleson, aske
ing if both sides would agree to sub=
mit adjudication of the Atlanta tele=
’phone controversy to a locdl tribunal,
Mayor James L. Key Friday received
a telegram from Konenkamp stating
that the issue was national instead of
local, but that the union would agree
to arbitration if the company would
agree to abide by the findings of an
arbitration board. He expressed doubt
that the company would so agree.
Konenkamp's Message.
Postmaster General Burleson's re<
ply as given to Congressman W. D,
Upshaw was a flat refusal to arbi=
trate. Konenkamp's message to the
Mayor follows:
“The nation-wide strike is based
upon nation-wide grievances of long
standing, of which the Atlanta con
troversy is but one. The policies of
the Bell companies are dictated from
New York for all subsidiaries, which
makes it impossible to settle locally,
We are not opposed to an adjustment
at the hands of any fair tribunal if
the employers will abide by the de=-
cision. Months of effort along these
lines offer little encouragement for a
peaceful settlement. I appreciate
your efforts to help solve the problem
and assure you of my earnest hope
that it will be found soon.”
pPredictions of the strikers that all
strikebreakers would be concentrated
in Atlanta gwhen the strike was i
spread to other Southpastern cities '
and that the Atlanta e&lltem Union
office alone would be supplied with
telegraphers, were borne out by
events Thursday night and Friday
morning, when many large Western
Union offices throughout the Souths’
eastern States were closed.
The order for a general walkout
in all Southeastern States was s«
sued late Thursday afternoon by
iresident Konenkamp. First news of
‘} ¢ proposed walkout of Western Un
fon telegraphers was contained inthe
final extra of The Georgian Thursday.
Wild Enthusiasm.
At the Labor Temple, where many
of the largest labor organizations
were gathering for important meet
ings, Including the newly formed
Shop Federation, the news was re
ceived with wild enthusiasm and the
business of the moment was entirely
abandoned while members of affili
ated trades unions staged demonstra«
tions in behalf of the striking tele<
graph and telephone workers, Come
mittees representing the Telephone
Operators’ Assoclation of the Comse
mercial Telegraphers’ Union who ap«
peared before the varfous labor crafts
of the local federation were given
ovations in every hall.
According to strike leaders, imme
diately upon receipt of the news that
telegraphers in all Southeastern cite
jes were walking ou, a number of
men who were sent to Atlanta from
other cities to ald in breaking the
local strike, walked out and reported
!(u union hedadquarters for registras
tion on the strike lists. k
No inquiries as to strike Mé.
involving questions of policy wouldsbg.
