RUSSIAN REDS
 AT BOTTOM OF
 SOCIAL UNREST
Organized, Artificially Stim- ulated Movement Direct
 ed By Soviets.

New York, Dec. 9-RadicaI agtta- ton in this country. with its resultant social unrest is not due to economic conditions, but to an organized, arti- fciaIIy stimulated movement under the inspiration of the Russian So- viet government. This opinion will be submitted to the New York Iegis- Iatuvc in an exhaustive report by the joint legislative committee which has been investigating radical activities here since its organization last May il was learned today.
 Three big groups of the radical element have been supplying the forces for wholesale dissemination of Bolsheviki propaganda throughout the depth and breadth of the land, the report will assert: the anarchist group. including the union of Rus sian Workers and other organizations; the syndicaIist group. the main body o3 which are the Industrial Workers Of the World, and the communist group, including the communist party of America, and the communist labor party. In each of these groups the overthrow of government by iIIe- gal means, including violence, is the weapon urged upon the masses, the report will state.
 New York City is one of the big headquarters for the organized move .nent. the report will point out, with Chicago. Cleveland, Detroit and vir- tuaIly every other industrial center from the Atlantic to the Pacific har- boring a headquarters for the radical campaign
 In the six months of the commit tees active investigation il has for reted out practically every nook and cranny in Greater New York where dtcaLsTn extending to all sections of inc country had it's nest, the report will state. Hundreds of arrests have been made on information furnished by the committee. Scores of indtct- ments for criminal anarchy have been returned on date procured and made available by t.
 The first conviction for criminal anarchy in the United States is claim ed for New York on information fur uished by it. on which Carl Piavio and Gust AIonen, publishers Of 9 Finnish radical newspaper here, are serving sentences of from four to eight years in Sing Sing. (The SO called Chicago anarchists, arrested in the Haymarket Riots there 32 years ago, were convicted of murder and not anarchy.)
 The 19 persons indicted here yes FErudE C.l3CSCU WlLl cGlJlln3I aEldEcLly were arrested on information pro- cured by the committee. Sixteen ar rests in Cortlandt, \. Y, were made on similar information similarly pro- cured. Indictments of Jay Loves tone and Hyman Bleiweis, communists, in the Bronx recently, and three others in New York county, on criminal anarchy charges were returned on evidence collected by the executive committee. Two men are held now 3u Brooklyn on the same charges on similar information similarly pro- cured. In virtually all instances counsel for the committee prepared tie l.sse= m detaIl.
 special inquiry was directed at the foreign language and radical press in New York Of 46 such newspapers it was found that only two were self supporting, the committee report will declare. Many of the indictments for criminal anarchy have been re- turned on evidence found in the col u1nns of some of these publications.
 In it's recommendations to the leg= islature the committee will approach the subject of corrective measures for the radical menace in two ways. First, ii will recommend oppressive legisia- tion, not trying to limit free speech, but pointing out that free speech is -F11sed ruhan overthrow of the gov
