C. of C. Director Urges National
Action Against Unrest.
Gives Impressions Received on
Investigating Trip Thru West.
REVOLUTION IS IN THE AIR
No Effort Being Made To OPP
pose BOIshevik Propaganda.
Labor Must Increase Production
To Lower Prices, He Says.

New York. Aug. 2S.-Lewis Il. Pier
son. head of the Irving National bank,
and a director OF the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, fol-
lowing a trip turnout the west to in
vestigate industrial conditions, today
gave an interview to the United Press
in which his impressions were summed
up as follows:
Radicals are openly advocating reyo-
luton.
business may seem Indifferent to OF
ignorant of the facts.
No real effort is being made to
answer Bolshevik propaganda
Apparently shTeTdiy e9inTdgcted
paign aims at the overthrow of the
government
\ CRISIS is at hauG-
1t calls for national action.
Made Inspection Tour.
Picrson made the trip in his capac-
ity as a director of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, Re
plying to questions, he said:
The outstanding feature Of the trip
was on the one hand the evidence we
found of an extraordinary amount of
revolutionary propaganda abroad in
the country, and on the other hand the
dangerous teachings.
THE Pacific coast in particular is
aflame with radical activities. 1t is
noticeable all the way from Los
Angeles to Seattle. This issue is not
merely over the proper relationship
between labor and capital.
Soap box orators, speakers at pub
lie meetings and a large quantity of
literature are openly advocating ac-
tual revolution. 1t is plainly a Boil
s.-eVik- movement.
Swept Into BoIshevik Current.
yet nearly everywhere business
men and sound thinkers appear in
different or else bewildered. Mean
while the neglect to oppose this de-
structive campaign has resulted in
many small property owners and
farmers being swept into the Bolshe-
vik current.
I'm one western city we were told
that the only printed arguments
against BOlsheviSm to be found in the
! book stores were the Bible and the
constitution OF the United States. Yet
in one of these stores at least fifty
books and pamphlets were purchased,
all advocating Bolshevism and urging
without mincing of words. resort. to
force to overthrow the existing order.
1.-The fact that conditions are so
, acute on the Pacific coast apparently
! grows out of the extra ordinary wages
! paid by the government to shipyard
: workers and others employed in pro-
ducing war necessities. 1t is the same
/ disease that affects our industries
/ turnout the nation.
Could Afford High Wages.
Under the spur of producing qua n
titles of war materials, it was easy fol-
wage adjustment boards to find mo-
tives to order increases in wages.
