i'm this city is engaged in the manufac-
turer of large quantity of hand gre,.a-
des. An Enquirer reporter called OH him
and was informed that the rumor that
he was making them Was true. but
whether they were for cOmmunislics or
not he dared not to know. lie said he
received an order for q, 900 from Califor-
mia sparties, and that he was making
them and that was all he knew or want
ed to know. 1t. is. however, suspected
by some that they al communists OF this
section, a letter recently received by
an officer of the Socialistic Labor party
by leader of the communists i'm Penn
sylvaniaa, said that the communists there
were ARMED with hand grenades and
prepared to do effective work when the
