PLAN TO RID US.
Of BOLSHEV|SN|

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-Convinced
that the spread Of boIshevism in the
United States has become. in a meas
ure. a menace to the free institutions
OF the country, the officials of the
Department OF Justice are preparing
to take radical steps to stamp out
the evil.
A who's Who Among the Soviets,
comprising the names of more than
1000 men who are regarded as leaders
in the movement, already has been
compiled under the direction OF Fred
J. Haggerson, the new head of the
local bureau, and special agents have
been assigned to look up their records
and citizenship, with a view to deter
mining who among them may be de-
ported.
The announcement of DR.. Frederick
A. Blossom. of the j. w. w, that there
were IS, 900 soviet supporters on this
continent, caused no surprise TO the
department officials, for they place
the number of persons who have been
infected with Bolshevik sympathies
at many times that number.
They declare that the |. w. W. the
anarchists. the Russian Bolsheviki i
and other radical groups of the United
States, have at last found a common
meeting ground. through the soviets.
and that their purpose is to split the
American Federation of Labor and
the Socialist party. drawing into their
proul. of workers the more radical
element Of both OF the older organiza.
tions.

After concluding his direct testi-
mony, Mr.. Hanna was subjected to
many pointed questions by Conrad
Syme, counsel Of the commission. and
others among those present, includ-
ing William Nick. Clayton, represent :
ing the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations. The throng of people pres
ent took considerable delight in Ques-
tions that apparently resulted in in
consistency Of answers. Many times
during the testimony there was
laughter. and cheers. the crowd ap-
pearinE to be wholly In accord with
the public demand for transfers and
to pay little heed to the warning of
possible financial embarrassment.
Mr.. Clayton could not see the con
sfstency of Mr.. Hanna's statement
that congested cars mean loss to the
company as contrasted with the
statement, also made by him, that
reduced population and reduced num-
Der of passengers per car also mean
loss. The auditors seemed to think
that Mr.. Clayton, who quizzed Mr..
Hanna very carefully. had much the
better Of the contest. between them.
Chairman Kutz aud Commissioner
Brownlow both asked Mr.. Hanna
about reported loss Of revenues
through the failure OF some con.
ductors to ring up all the fares paid

matter. ''+"N r.. . ~ "..'. .
The commission has Ately received

.SOL0NS FIGHT PLAN
TOFEED EUROPE

Bitter opposition to the recon-
mendation OF President Wilson for
an appropriation of 500 100000 for
relief work In Europe outside OF Ger
many has sprung up in both houses
OF Congress. While the appropria-
tion will probably be forced to pass
age, it has aroused antagonism OF
many Democrats as well as Repub-
,licans. who are becoming more. and
more restive over the demands for
huge outlay OF funds in spite OF the
fact the war is over.
The Presidents proposal narrowly
failed OF defeat in the House Appro-
priationS Committee yesterday after
noon. The vote was a tie. until Chair
man Sherley came to the rescue and
managed to get the measure reported
out by the slim margin of one. The
House, which now takes up the meas
ure. is split and the lines of division
arc non-partisan. Were it not that
certain Democratic elements can be
relied on to vote for what the Presi-
dent recommends no matter what II
is. the appropriation would fall by
the wayside. Opposition has also
cropped out in the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee.
Partly the opposition is due to the
growing apprehension and uneasiness
over the mounting expenditures for the
balance Of this fiscal year and for
next fiscal year. But this Is not the
only basis of opposition.
Widespread feeling that the effect Of
this expenditure is going to be to ac-
centuate the already rampant profiteer-
ing in foodstuffs in this country is a
strong reason for the fight against the
appropriation. 1t is pointed out that
this money will be used largely for
purchase OF foodstuffs produced in this
country, that it will afford chance for
large sales to the packers. millers and
q few other big foodllandling interests.
and that such sales will tend to in
crease the level Of food prices in this
country.
Thus the American people will have
to pay taxes to meet the S100.0oo000.
and then will have TO pay large toll in
the form of higher prices for what
they eat. Meantime. profiteering food
dealers will reap that much more
benefit, and Congress is being urged
to deal gently with the corporations
that have reaped large war profits and
excess profits when it comes TO taxa
