MISS FOLEY LAUGHS
AT KIDNAPPING FEAR
Former Labor's National Peace
Council Typist Says She
Wasn't Spirited to New York

Miss Catherine Foley, a stenographeT
living at 1922 Eighth street northeast,
today laughed over the fears OF former
Congressman Fowler of Illinois, that
ington and taken to New York in con-
nection with the Federal grand jury
Investigation OF the alleged unlawful ac-
tiyities OF Lahore Nationa Peace Coun-
Mr.. Fowler was in New York yester-
day trying to locate the young typist.
He charged Government agents with
having taken her from her home to
New York against her will. In the
meantime, Miss Foley was in Washing
flying before the grand jury in New
Miss Foley was employed as stem
ographer in the Washington office OF
Labor'B National Peace Council shortly
after its organization last summer and
worked for the organization for several
msnths, She was summoned to testify
as to the character Of letters dictated
organizations to whom the letters were
sent. The Government introduced this
evidence presumably with an idea OF
substantiating its charge that the cOun-
cn was engaged in fomenting strikes
In munitions plants and working up dis
sension in the ranks OF labor organiZa-
items whoee members were employed in
arms, cartridge and shell factories in
this country.
The young typist declined today 20
say anything about her testimony he
fore the grand jury. She did say. how
ever. that she was handed a subroen
at her home on Monday and left imne-
diately for New York where she -testi-
fed on Tuesday She returned to
Washington yesterday morning.
Former Congressman Fowler, who Is
said to have been one of the moving
spirits in Labor'S National Peace
Council, Informed the District attorney
in New York that the young woman's
parents were frantic over her alleged
mysterious disappearance shortly after
being approached bV Government
agents, and they had requested him TO
make efforts TO locate her.

Chain Of Indictments Expected
to Follow Conference Here
Of U. S. Attorney Marshall
and Attorney General.
Evidence in Cases Of Won Rim
teIen, Labor Peace Council,
and Others Is Scrutinized
Carefully At Meeting.

A program Of action to back up
the Presidents announced inten-
tion to "crush with the hand OF
power creatures Of passion, dis
loyalty and anarchy" was mapped
out today.
Following a Cabinet officers
conference late yesterday at Sec
retary of State Lansing's office, at
which cooperation in a vigorous
campaign to stamp out criminal
conspiracies, was discussed,
United States District Attorney
Marshall, of New York, conferred
here today with Attorney General
Gregory.
Marshall went over the evidences
in various bomb plot conspiracies,
the Won Rintelen case and other
indictments pending. Evidence
AGAINST David Lamar, the "Wolf
Of Wall Street," and others Of the
labor peace council, was also sub
mitted by Marshall.
A chain Of indictments was ex-
pected to follow the return Of the
New York district attorney. The
first onslaught in the Administra-
ticn's campaign was expected to be
staged there.
INSPECTORS TO AID.
Agencies of a half dozen Federal de-
partments today were in motion against
hyphenated conspirators. On every
hand there was evidence Of determine
ton to prove that the warning Of the
President was not a mere play on
words.
Hundreds OF postonice inspectors
were enlisted with other Government
secret service agencies in the campaign.
While by law their power Is limited to
postal violations. It is believed they will
be able to furnish much valuable I'm
formation to the Department of Justice.
The aid of Congress will soon be in
voked. Attorney General Gregory is
having bills drafted to reach crimes
and offenses not covered by present
statutes. These will be submitted
soon to the Senate and House Ju-
dietary Committees.
