W., Socialists and Radical Anarchists, Declares Solicitor Lamar. Washington. Mail matter seized since the signing of the armistice has disclosed that the I. W. W., anarchists, radical socialists and others are "perfecting "per-fecting an amalgamation," which has for its object the overthrow of the American government through a "bloody revolution" and the establishment establish-ment of a Bolshevik republic, according accord-ing to a memorandum sent to the senate sen-ate propaganda committee by Solicitor Lainar of the postoffice department. The memorandum was made public Monday by the committee, und Chairman Chair-man Overman said it would be read Into the record. Declaring that in Bolshevism the radical elements of the country had for the first time "found a common cause upon which they can unite," Mr. Lamar said his information showed show-ed that propaganda against the government gov-ernment was being conducted with great regularity and that the magnitude magni-tude could lie measured by the "bold and outspoken statements" found in the literature. Accompanying his memorandum were several hundred excerpts from mail matter showing the trend of the propaganda. These will be made public later. Particular reference was made by the solicitor to the activity of the dissatisfied foreign element of the country, but he said perhaps the I. W. W. was the most active in the dis- i semination of the propaganda because it "has at its command a large field force known as recruiting agents, subscription sub-scription agents, etc., who work unceasingly un-ceasingly in the furtherance of the 'cause.' |
