Evidence Taken From the
Mails Submitted to a
Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, March II. - Mail
matter seized since the signing OF the
armistice has disclosed that the |. w.
W., anarchists, radical socialists ana
others are 'perfecting an amalgama-
ton" which has for its object the over
throw OF the government through Il
Hbloody revolution" and the establish.
ment Of Bolshevik republic, accord
ing to q memorandum sent to the Sen.
ate Propaganda committee by Solicit
tor Lamar, Of the PostoffiCe depart
ment. The memorandum was made
public by the committee and Chair
man oyerman said 1t would be read
into the record.
Declaring that in Bolsheyism the rad
ical elements of the country had for
the first time found common cause
upon which they can unite" Mr.. La.
mar said his information showed that
propaganda against the government
was being conducted with great regu.
larity and that its magnitude could be
measured by the bold and outspoken
Statements" found in the literature.
Accompanying his memorandum were
several hundred excerpts from mail
matter showing the trend of the propa'
ganda. These will be made public
later.
Particular reference was made by
the solicitor to the activity Of the dis
satisfied foreign element in the Coun.
Try, but he said perhaps the l. w. W.
was the most active in the dissimina-
ton of the propaganda, because ut
has its command, large field force
known as recruiting agents, subscrip'
ton agents, ETC., who work unceasing.
~ in the furtherance Of the cause"
Mr.. Lamars memorandum, to which
was attached list of newspapers
printed in English and foreign Ian
guage alleged to be regularly conduct
ed and published by the l. w. W., SAID
IN part:
This propaganda is being conduct
ed with such regularity that it's mag
nitude can be measured by the bold
and outspoken statements contained in
the publications and the efforts made
4 therein to inaugurate nationwide
reign Of terror and overthrow the gov
eminent"
Elm classifying these statements,
they are submitted in major or gen
eral class as follows:
~. w. W., anarchistic, radical So
cialistic and socialist. 1t will be seen
from these excerpts and it is indeed
significant that this is the first time In
the history Of the so-called radical
movement in the United States that
these radical elements have found
common cause (Bolshevism) in which
they can all unite. The l. w. w. an
archists, socialists radical and other
wise, In fact all dissatisfied elements,
particularly the foreign clement, are
perfecting an amalgamation with one
obiectand only one object in view,
namely, the overthrow Of the govern
ment Of the United States by the
means Of bloody revolution and the
establishment OF Bolshevik republic.
The l, W. w. is perhaps most &C
lively engaged in spreading this pro.
paganda and has at its command a
large field force known as recruiting
agents, subscription agents, etc., who
work increasingly in the furtherance
Of the cause
