REVOLT AND FORCE
Lusk Committee Finds New
Points in Letters and Pub
LEGATIONS Seized.
WILL GO TO GRAND JURY
Advocates Won for Special
Session to Pass More
Drastic Laws.

Counsel for the Lusk legislative
committee was engaged yesterday In
going over carefully the alleged sedi-
tious utterances contained in letters and
newspaper articles In foreign languages
that were seized in the raid on the I.
w. w. headquarters Aliusions such as
bloody revolution and force were
found frequently.
The plan is to prepare case for the
District Attorney to take before the
special Grand Jury. called by Gov.
Smith, which will meet August IL. Dis
trict Attorney Swami said that he would
prosecute all clear cases OF sedition that
were brought before him. He has no
desire. he explained. to interfere with
the freedom of the press, but he be-
lieves some check should be placed on
the circulation OF sedition among for
egners through the medium OF publ
cations in their own language.
Some thought is being given by MEM
bers of the committee to the sugges-
ton that the Governor be asked to call
special session OF the Legislature in
order to pass more drastic laws in re-
gard to such publications.
The committee finds that its work is
greater in scope than had been antici-
pated at first and IL a special session
should be called II is probable that a
| request would be made for an increase
OF the original appropriation, which was
only 100000.

State Federation OF Labor, has pre-
sented TO the committee a list OF per-
utterances in public meetings before
labor audiences.
