creation of such cabinet office would
not take the control Of education away
from The states.
As 10 the second proposal before

best Informed on the subject of the
number and activity of radical aliens
say that there IS not the slightest rea-
son for the people Of the United States
10 be greatly concerned over some of
the recent manifestations.
These 10000 men can make lot OF
noise and they can, unless held In
check. make lot of trouble by getting
into the labor organizations and then
boring from the inside as they call
IT," said one of the government inves-
tigators. "This Is the channel through
which they are working at this time.
We have plenty OF evidence to the ef-
feet that during the war or about the
time bolShcvism came 10 the front In
Russia. the radicals In this country set
out to get into as many of the labor or
ganlzations as possible. believing that
they could do more TO further their
cause through labor organizations than
In any other way.
InstIgate the Strikes.
NEARLY every strike that Is now
taking place Is due primarily to this
boring from within by the radicals

used In this way any longer"
