Severe measures Of suppression

ply work.
In retaliation for one Of these
measures, tho arrest Of an inde-

Berlin, the center Of f<the move-
mont, is entirely in the hands Of the

governor Of tho district, but by
the confessed powerIessness Of
even tho highest civil authority

to take action In tho present stu.

This feature Of tho situation.
developed after tho arrest Of tho
independent socialist leader, VIII
liam Dittmann, for attempting to
address crowd In Berlin section.
An appeal to Chancellor Won Hert-

Threats and force are being used

ended the movement. The censor
ship is, permitting only semi off

The statements report little gain
in the strike movement except in

Today Attorney John J.. Healey,
representing Henry Veeder, forced an
immediate hearing on the validity of
the search warrant issued by Judge
Lands under a section of the federal
espionage law by filing a formal mo-
ton to quash the writ n compel the
government to return the letters and
papers taken from the Veeder vault.
This move came as a surprise to the
government lawyers who had prepar-

search and seizure section of the fed

government recently raided the var
Tious headquarters of the L. WV.
throughout the country.
Among the more important points
made in the arguments against the
legality Of the writ we're:
{. That the search and seizure section
of the federal espionage law Is invalid
for the reason that it violates the
Fourth and fifth sections Of the CON

That the search warrant was issued
without sufficient showing OF probable
