their unqualified support TO theil

ANARCHISTS BEHIND CAMPAIGN
Three Air>.dy Arrested in New YORK
and More Are Listed for Future
Vigorous Action

New York. May 3l.--Three arrests
we're made today in the department
Of Justices round up OF anti-conscrip-
tionists. g t
Owen Cattell, Charles Francis
Phillips. . Columbia university stu
dent. and Eleanor Wilson Parker
were held charged with participat-
ing In conspiracy to induce men
to refuse to register.
Government agents have started q
secret census Of slackers and anti
conscriptionists throughout the
United States.
Through the committee on public
information the attorney general to-
day issued the following:
The department OF justice today
communicated instructions to its Of
ficers in communities wherever meet
ings are likely to be held at which
agitation against registration - pre-
scribed in the new army bin might bs
indulged. The federal attorneys and
marshals were directed to be present
or represented at the meetings and to
have stenographic reports made OF
the addresses delivered.
These reports will be gone over
carefully and arrests win be made
later in all instances IN which the ut
terances Of the speakers are calculat-
cd to discourage registration or to in
fluence individuals into attempting
to evade the provisions Of the Law.
The federal attorneys and marshals
also were directed to ask close CO..
operation Of the local police author
tiles in each community.
From the reports being made
daily by the agents throughout the
county. ofiicials Of the department
are convinced that such threats to
resist registration are being made a
a result Of local and sporadic influ-
ences and are not inspired by any or
ganized effort OF serious conse-
quences.
Emma Goldman, the notorious an
archist is at the head Of an organi-
zation which has as It's avowed pur-
nose the prevention OF the enforce
ment OF conscription plans. She and
her helpers are being closely watch
ed by government officials.
Miss Goldman today announced
that her "Anti-conscrlption League"
had already enrolled 10000 New
York boys who would refuse to reg
lister and that she expected the num-
ber would be increased to $4,000 by
tomorrow.
An indication Of the spirit with
which the governments plans are
being met in some Of the eastern
states is the number Of youths who
are applying for work in the NUM-
tion factories and navy yards, Of
ficials at these plants report that
they are deluged with young male
applicants for work. who are trying
thereby to escape the census.

leaves 100000 men out Of whom

chance OF being drawn is about one
