New York, Dec. 29.-According to
federal officials the Indictment here
OF eight men, including a congress:
man, former attorney general of
Ohio, on charge of conspiring to TO-
nlent strikes in American munitions
factories, is a development Of the com,
prehensive campaign Instituted by
the government against violations of
neutrality.
The Indictment of former Attorney
General Frank S. Monnett of Ohio
was the sensation of the grand jury
proceedings. The bills against his
seven co-defendants had been. pre-
dicted for several weeks, but Mon
nett's name had never been mentioned.
Congressman Frank S. Buchanan of
Illinois, former Congressman H. Rob-
ert Fowler of Illinois, David Lamar
and Monnett were indicted as leaders
in the alleged conspiracy. Franz Won
Rintelen was the financier and Lamar
the paymaster, while Herman Schulz
tets, H. B. Martin and Jacob C. Tay-
lor are accused of doing the actual
work of attempting to bride union
leaders.
Schulteis and Martin are well known
as lobbyists. Both were connected
with the Antitrust league and are
said to have been business associates
of Lamar. Taylor is labor leader in
New Jersey.
All of the men except Won Rintelin
and Lamar are officers or former Off
Gers of labor's national peace council
The government charged that this or
sganization was financed by Franz Won
Rintelen, a. German agent, to insti-
gate strikes in munitions plants while
ostensibly working in the interests of
international peace.
Won Rintelen is at present prison
er of war in England. Lamar, known
as the wolf of Wall street." is said
to have been his paymaster.
No warrants were issued for tbs ar
rest of any of the indicted men, as

shall said. that he had reason to be
lieve most of the defendants would
appear voluntarily to enter pleas.
None of the indicted men resides
in New York. The majority are either
in Chicago or Washington, and are ex-
pected to appear before united States States
