PROBE BY GRAND JURORS.
Attorney General Directs Seizure Of
Documentary Evidence Against
Observation-Disclosures Of Body
Are Raided Simultaneous.
Iy In all Sections Of
the Country.

Washington, September 5-The gov
ernment today took drastic action to
end the anti-war propaganda and ac-
tivities conducted in the name Of the
Industrial Workers Of the World, the
Socialist Party and other organiza-
tions throughout the United States.
On orders from Attorney General
Gregory, United States marshals In
many towns and cities descended at 2
p m, central time, upon local head
quarters of the l. w. W., seized books,
checks, correspondence and other
documents and in some instances, ar
rested officials found upon the prem
ises.
In Chicago, federal agents took
possession Of the national headquar-
ters of the Socialist Party and war
rant authorizing the seizure of its
documents was served upon its coun-
sci.
The seizure of documents was car
ried out In accordance with plan
perfected by William c. Fits, assist
ant attorney general, working under
the direction Of the attorney general.
A statement issued by the department
of justice, announced the seizure OF
the papers was made In connection
with Federal grand jury investiga-
ton of the Industrial Workers of the
World now proceeding at Chicago.
This action was taken under the
direction of the attorney general,
says a statement issued at the de-
partment Of justice, "and in connec-
ton with a grand jury investigation
which is in progress in the United
States court in the northern district
of Illinois"
The investigation was begun by the
grand jury at Chicago as result ol
a great accumulation of charges o
all sorts, mostly Of violations of the
espionage law, directed against the
Industrial Workers of the World ant
its leaders.
"The government at 2 p. M, today
Chicago time" the department state
ment says, took possession under ap
propriate legal process of such docu
mentary evidence, check books, cor
respondence, etc., Of the Industria
Workers of the World in all parts O
the United States as il desired Of
needed by the United States in con
nection with the indictment and pro
secution Of certain individual offend
ers who have utilized the name of tina
organization in connection with viola
tions Of the federal laws"
The exact nature of the alleged of
fenses was not disclosed. 1t was salt
that would be determined by the fed
eral grand jury at Chicago. The in
vestigation was begun secretly
short time ago and until today's dras
tic action, was known only to the of
ficials concerned.
The department action was takel
on the eve of a report to Presiden
Wilson by Chief Justice Covington O
the Supreme Court of the District o
Columbia, who was designated recent
ly by the President to investigate tn
labor situation in the West. Judg
Covington has completed his investi
cation, which lasted several week
and took him to the Pacisfist coas
and probably will report personally t
President Wilson tomorrow.
