CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Military au-
thorities and federal investigators
assiqned to follow the trail OF rad'-
calls who have been spreading tne"r
oropaqanda in connection with the
strike Of the steel workers announc-
ed today their discovery Of an anar-
chistic plot to destroy abandoned
army cantonments and other gov
ernment property.
The plot is said to have been un-
earthed in connection with the dis
covery at Gary, Indiana, Of Anton
Gorski, alleged radical leader, who
is said to be under surveillance N
connection with the explosion OF
bomb in the Chicago postottIee IN
September, 1918, when four persons
were killed and thirty injured.

tary authorities indicated that the
radicals have plotted against gov
ernment property in states ranging
from West Virginia to Colorado.
During the day five hundred OF the
federal troops on duty at Gary en-
trained, and il was said they were
beino dispatched to protect en-
danoered property.
Reports Of discovery Of wide
spread plot against military canton
ments were denied tonight by Col
