to New York Police Headquarters for
a conference yesterday the police
chiefs of the eight cities in which the
bombs Of June were exploded. be-
sides William J. Flynn, head of the
Department Of Justice secret service,
and the New York police officers who
have been working on the bomb cases.
They came for an exchange Of photo
graphs, Identification marks and other
information with regard to suspected
men and their movements.
While officials will not say they ex-
pect more bombing activity on any
specific day. rumors have been rife
during the last month OF something
doing and yesterdays conference was
deemed a wise move by way Of prepa-
ration. The police do not definitely
expect q recurrence OF the bomb out
RACES because they confess they have
been unable to penetrate the inner cir
cles of those responsible for the sus-
pected plans. They expect sporadic
strikes during the coming month. how
ever, and possible trouble in connec-
ton with them. These strikes, they
believe. are to be purely political and
may appear where there is no Indus
trial cause for them.

situation with the police chiefs yester-

Soviet Bureau Blamed.
The Russian Soviet Bureau. according
to a statement made by Attorney Gem
eral Charles D. Newton yesterday, is the
central agency through which Lenine
and Trotzky are endeavoring to spread
Bolshe evism in America, because they say
the idea Of the Soviet was born here
In the mind of Daniel De Leon. founder
Of the Socialist Labor party. Mr. New
ton, who is counsel for the Lusk legisla-
tive investigating committee, announced
Yesterday that the evidence the COM
mittee had gathered in It's raid on the
bureau was enough to show that IL was
deliberately sowing the seeds of dis
content among workingmen. particularly
the foreign born, in America, In the hope
that Industrial chaos would lead 10 the
establishment OF communism here as IL
had been established in Russia,
Mr.. Newton predicts that the seizure
OF papers of the so-called Embassy will
sever the connection between the Bolshe-
Wiki and the anarchists, !. w. w. and
certain socialists in this country and
enable the committee to bring to light
practically every source OF red agitation
in the country.
Daniel De Leon, according to the At
torney- General was born in Curacao
and educated in Germany and Holland.
He came here in the '70s and was a
leader of the knights of Labor move
ment. Previously he had graduated from
Columbia law school, where he was con-
sIdered 10 be a student OF briiiiant
promise After the collapse Of the
Knights of Labor ie WAS one of the
founders OF the Socialist Labor party
and went to Copenhagen as delegate
TO the international in 1910. There he
was bested by Morris Hillquit. who sue
ceeded In gaining first recognition for
the Socialist party. De Leon preached
communism throughout his career until
his death In 1914. The Socialist Labor
party recently warmly denied that II
advoc lted violence, maintaining that II
sought Industrial communism through
political action.
