Washington, March 10,-solicitor
General Lamar of the postoffice de-
partment, submitted a memorandum
to the senate propaganda committee
today stating that the !. w. W., an
archists, socialists and others were
"perfecting an amalgamation with
one obfect-the overthrow of the gov
ernment of the United States by
means of a bloody revolution and the
establishment of Bolshevik repub-
lic." Mr.. Lamar said his conclusion
was based upon information con-
tanned in seized mail matter.
Accompanying the memorandum
were serveral 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 NATIONWIDE
reign of terror and overthrow the
government
Find Common Cause.
Lamar said IL was significant that
this was the first time 'in the history
Of the so-called radical movement in
the United states that these radical ell
ements have found a common cause
(Bolshevisln) in which they can all
unite" He referred particularly to the
dissatisfied foreign elements as being
active in the propaganda.
"The /. w. w." said Lamar, 'is
perhaps most actively engaged in
spreading this propaganda and has at
its command large field force known
IS 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
ed with such regularity that its mag
nitude can be measured by the boid
and outspoken statments contained IN
these publications and the efforts
made therein to inauurate nation
wide rein of terror and overthrow OF
government
Overthrow of Government.
"In classifying these statements,
they are submitted in major or
general class as follows: I. w. W., an
archistic, radical socialistic. and So
c'alist It will be seen from these
excerpts. and It is indeed significant,
that this is the first time in the his
tory of the so called radical move
ment in the United States that the
radical elements have found com
mon cause (Bolshevism) in which
they can all unite. The I. w. W., an
archists. socialists, radical and 9TH
erwise, in fact all dissatisfied ele-
ments. particularly the foreign ele-
ment, are perfecting amalgamation
with one object, and with one OBJ
iect only in view, namely, the over
throw of the government of the Unit
ed states by the means of bloody
revolution and the establishment OF
Bolshevik republic.
, "The I. w. w. is perhaps most act
lively engaged in spreading this pro-
paganda and has at it's command n
large field force known as recruiting
agents, subscription agents, ETC., who
work increasingly in the furtherance
of the cause
