Blanket Indictments Involve
Thousands Throughout
Country
NETS ARE EVERYWHERE
CUICAUO. Sept. 7.
Wholesale prosecutions on the chargo of
conspiracy against the Government, many
arrests and raids yet to bo made, tho prob
able return of blanket Indictments which
will Involve thousands throughout tho
fulled States and the posslblo deportation
of prominent Industrial Workers of tho
World, nro developments toon to bo ex
pected In the Government's campaign
ngalnst tho I. W. W.
Theso facts were outlined today by a
federal olliclal as Frank C. Dalley, known
throughout tho Middle West as the "terror
of evil-doers," Joined In tho great man
hunt. fedpr.il ngjnls believe this will bo
IMlley's biggest man-hunt, though he has
u formidable record for arrests nnd con
victions hi the Indianapolis, Terre Haute,
Kvnusvllle and other election fraud cases,
and In the Indianapolis dynamite trial.
It was understood today that with tho
detention of William II. Haywood, secretary
treasurer of tho 1. W. W., Federal author
ities believe they have the "man higher
up."
The following statement was made today
by one of the most prominent investigators:
"t'ommon -cnse teacher one that a great
deal nf money is necessary to carry on such
u propaganda as hail been carried on by
the I. W. W. organisation. Tho public
seems to bellevo this money Is, or has been,
forthcoming from German sources nnd the
public Is not always n poor gucsser."
Continuing, this official stntement ad
mitted tho Investigation has been carried on
by tho Government "for more than six
months," nnd that "It stood to reason that
tho Government would make no move, cither
by raid or arrest, until sufficient evidence
had been obtained on which to base vigor
ous prosecution."
The tons of evidence, consisting of litera
ture of many kinds, are being forwarded to
Chicago as rapidly as possible, and, until
this can bo examined, the work of the Fed
eral grand Jury will be slow.
Dalley was called to Washington from
Indianapolis neveral months ago In what
many were led to bellvo was the beginning
of tho Indianapolis. Indiana, Ohio and Illi
nois election fraud cai-rs. Them Is little
doubt that he whs then confronted with
tho biggest, task of his life "the I. W. W.
man-hunt."
Tho job facing Pniley. f'labuugli and their
big corps of associates wll, Indoubtedly, ex
tend Into weeks, months nnd. perhaps, more
than a year. As one of the Federal author
ities expressed It today: "Naturally enough,
the country thought tho Government asleep
while objectionable propaganda was being
spread countrywide, but it so happens tho
Government may move slowly In somo In
stances, hut when It docs It moves en a
, rather firm basis."
