 Of the 60 persons who were taken to police headquarters after the raid
 Saturday night, not one was a native born Am erican. Most Of them emil grated to this country from central and eastern Europe, and many have been here only since the outbreak of the war Nearly all of the prisoners are factory workers employed in the various manufacturing plants in Bridgeport. All Of the radicals were well supplied with money, and most ! of them were well dressed. A few appeared to be fairly intelligent. Dur ing the preliminary examination at Headquarters Saturday night. most Of the raid victims displayed signs of seif-cOnfGence, and only smiled when Informed that they would face ! charges of a most serious nature. The detect-ve bureau a; police headquarters was beset this morning ! by women who called to request aid from the police in finding husbands
 s-4itt Dei-t4 NiE t-o no CtlSl JtttlISL from home Saturday night. In near 1 ly every instance the aid seeker was ! informed that the person sought had ! been arrested for the government au~ ! thOrities. One woman appeared at 1 the office with three small children. ! one sick baby, and requested the ! police to find her husband. She was 1 informed that the man had been lock 1 ed up Saturday night. and was then i told to go to the Emergency hospital 1 where free medical treatment would l be given to the sick infant.
 | In Saturday nights raid, Ittera ture l of the most radical nature was found 1 and cOnfscated by the police. Periodi- ] calls, pamphlets and newspa pers print 1 ed in foreign languages were taken | by Department of Justice men, and l will be closely examined. in near i ly every paper were articles urging 1 the workers to turn small strikes into l big ones, and big strikes into armed i revoIts. This sort of reading has 1 been circulating among the radical 1 element for some time, and it is evi- 1 dent that tl2e men who are now being 1 held by the Federal authorities meant 1 business. An examination of the 1 seized papers will probably result in i the arrest of more persons as further 1 evidence is secured.
 i The headquarters of the radical so- ciety which has been operating in 1 Connecticut is believed to have been l located in New Haven. It was at
 first believed that the main offices
 were in Bridgeport, but latest evi- dence points to New Haven as the ! center of operations. The secretary Of the organization has been arrested
 in that city.
 The , men who were released Sat urday night. after a short hearing are i thought to he harmless individuals who were not aware of the intentions 1 Of the society with which they were ! affiliated Government agents who
 are in this city were reluctant to give out any information on the radica! l cleanup today, but it is expected that i the officers will remain here for sev- eral days, and more arrests may take
 place.
