Washington, Feb. 4.-Sweeping in
vestigation Of Bolshevik, !. w. w. and
other propaganda was ordered unani-
mously today by the senate after two
hours of tempestuous discussion In
which several senators declared or
ganizations were plotting to overthrow
the American government by violence.
The senate judiciary subcommittee
which for more than year has been
investigating pro-German and brew
ers propaganda, was authorized by the
senate resolution to conduct the new
inquiry. The committee will begin
work Friday. The chairman, Senator
Overman, said new investigation would
cover wide range, and continue prob
ably after congress adjourns.
The resolution offered by Senator
Walsh of Montana, democrat, and
adopted without roll call or dissent
ing voice, extended the committees
power to inquire concerning any ef-
forts being made to propagate in this
country the principles Of any party

to inquire into any effort to incite the
overthrow of the government of this
country or all government by force, or

or the general cessation of industry"
Senators Joined in denunciation Of
the alleged propaganda and also of
meeting held here last Sunday, at
which the Soviet government of Rus
sia was praised as superior to the
American form of government.
Senator Foindexter of Washington,
republican, introduced resolution
calling for investigation by the de-
partment of justice of the assembly
here which was addressed by Repre-
sentative Mason Of Illinois, and at
which Rep. Gordon of Ohio and Dillon
of South Dakota were present. This
resolution went over for further dis
cussion.
