RAID RUSSIAN SOVIET
OFFICE IN new YORK
Books and Papers Seized When
Radical Investigators SWoop
Down on Quarters.

New York.-Representat Of the
Joint Legislative Committees appoint
ed to investigate the activities of
radicals in this State, guarded by sew
eral members of the State Constabu-
larry, raided the offices of the Russian
Soviet Government in this city, and
took possession of books and papers
found there.
L. c. A. K Martens, representative
here of the Soviet Government, was
subpoenaed and taken before the COM
mittee for a brief examination.
There was a large force Of stenog-
raphers and clerks at work when the
raiders arrived at Martens offices.
Most of the stenographers wore
sandals and had their hair cut short.
Three bank books showing deposits
with the Guaranty Trust Company,
the Public Bank and the State Bank
were found in Martens desk. The
amounts on deposit could not be ascer-
tained. In addition, the raiders found
a large red banner of the Soviet
Republic. ,..
The seized mailing lists, and card
indexes are expected to reveal the
identity of the men who are supplying
the money to carry on the BOlshevik
propaganda. These lists have been
turned over to experts. All informa-
ton thus obtained will be used by the
committee.
The seized documents included
large amount Of propaganda articles
intended for the press of Central and
South America. Hundreds of news
papers from these places are on the
mailing lists of the Bolshevik organ
ization and copies of the papers con-
tanning articles on the Russian situa-
ton were found in the place.
With attendance limited to members
of the committee, witnesses and news
paper representatives, the committee
began its session here.
The first witness, Hugh Frayne,
general organizer of the American
Federation Of Labor, declared the
organization was "as near 100 per
cent. American as it can be-" adding
that it had to be constantly on guard
against un-American radicals. He
described the radical element, having
it's object the overthrow of the Gov
ernment by force and violence, as con-
sistfng of three classes, representing
anarchism, syndicalism and socialism.

FIGHT TO keep US. OUT
OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Knox Resolution Reserves to
America Right to Join the
Covenant.

Washington.-FormaI notice to the
Peace Conference and to the world
that the United States wants peace,
but desires no membership in the
League of Nations, is contained In a
resolution which Senator Knox OF
Pennsylvania introduced in the senate.
The resolution calls upon the Peace
Conference to submit treaty of peace
without any provisions for the estab-
lishment of a League of Nations. 1t
demands postponement of any action
on the League of Nations question until
the people of the United States, have
been given an opportunity to decide
for themselves whether they want it.
Adoption by the Peace Conference OF
these recommendations will facilitate
ratification of the treaty of peace by
the senate, the resolution states.
With the presentation of this resolu-
tion the fight in the senate against the
League of Nations covenant is brought
to q definite issue. Republican sena-
tors, with the assistance OF several
senators on the Democratic side, will
back the Knox resolution to a finish.
1t will line up the advocates and the
opponents of the League of Nations on
the issue of separating the covenant
from the treaty and Of declaring peace
without the League of Nations pro.
visions.
Senator Knox drafted the resolution
with the consent and by the direction
of Republican senators who are Op-
posing the league. Differing from the
famous senatorial "round robin only
in form, the resolution is intended to
bring about quick decision by the SEN
ate on the direct question whether the
admission of the United States to a
League of Nations is desirable or
whether it would not be better to de-
clare the war at an end and let the
League of Nations question come to a
settlement afterward.
