In view OF the publicity given IN

eern.ng Labor's National Peace Couel,
viii state that have, anG for some
time have had. information that con-
vinces me that this society was financed
With money supplied by Franz Rinte-
ZEN through David Lamar. Part OF the

I'm stirring up strikes 10 various plants
which were engaged in munitions manu-
isctuTe. 80
u do not al the present moment Wlsn
20 mention the location where strikes
we're iustigated. In each case IN which
A strike Was purchased there was con.
siderable opposition among portions OF
the labor element who disapproved OF
bought strikes. The activities OF this
organization came 70 the notice, as
am informed, OF Samuel Gompers. VINO
absolutely opposed the plans which the
men proposed 10 carry out.
Il do not at the present wish TO men
ton the names Of any OF the ofncers
Of this organization who were shown
20 have been concerned in these trans
actions.
"Rintelen was in this country from
about April 10 August 3, 1915. After he
left and ceased supplying money the
activities Of this organization dwindled
end came 20 an end.
