ANARCHISTS PLOT
To SEIZE THE US.
Nine Chicago Papers Are Called
Tools of Anarchy.
LAMAR TELLS OF BIG SCHEME
Solicitor General Says He Has Much
Documentary Matter Showing
That a Bloody Revolution
Was Contemplated.


Washington, March 11.-Solicitor
General Lamar of the post office de-
partment submitted memorandum TO
the senate propaganda committee stat
ing that the |. w. W.. anarchists. So
cialists and others were "perfecting an
amalgamation with one obiect-the
overthrow Of the government of the
United States by means of a bloody
revolution and the establishment of
bolshevik republic" Mr. Lamar said
his conclusion was based upon infOr-
nation contained in seized mail mat
Or.
Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from
the mail matter Mr.. Lamar said this
propaganda was being conducted with
such regularity that its magnitude
can be measured by the bold and out
spoken statements contained in these
publications and the efforts made
therein to inaugurate a nationwide
reign of terror an1 overthrow the gov
eminent"
Find Common Cause
Mr.. Lamar said it was significant
that this was the first time sin the his
tory of the so-called radical movement
in the United States that these rad
ical elements have found a common
cause (bOlshevism), in which they can
all unite" He referred particularly
to the dissatisfied foreign elements as
being active in the propaganda.
'The I. w. w." said Mr.. Lamar, "s
perhaps most actively engaged in
spreading this propaganda, and has at
it's command a large field force known
as recruiting agents, subscription
agents, etc., who work increasingly in
the furtherance of the cause"
After referring to the excerpts from
The seized mail matter, the solicitor
generals memorandum said in part:
"This propaganda is being conduct
eel with such regularity that its mag
nitude can be measured by the bold
and outspOken statements contained in
these publications and the efforts made
therein to inaugurate a nationwide
reign of terror and overthrow the gov
eminent.
In classifying these statements,
they are submitted in major or gen.
| eral class as follows: |. w. W., an
archistic, radical-socialistic' and social
LIST. 1t will be seen from these ex-
cerpts and it is indeed significant that
this is the first time in the history of
| the sO-called radical movement in the
United States that the radical ele-
D1ents have found common cause
| (GOlsheVism) in which they can all
unite. The l. w. W.. anarchists. So
cialists, radical and otherwise, in fact
all dissatisfied elements, particularly
the foreign element, are perfecting
Dmalgamation with one object. and
with one object only in view, the over
throw of the government of the Unit
| ed States by the means of bloody
| revolution and the establishment of a
bolshevik republic.
The l. w. w. is perhaps most ac-
lively engaged in spreading this prop
Uganda and has at it's command a large
| tclG force known as recruiting agents.
