Mr.. Garvan called particular at
tention to statements in the mani
festo having bearing on the gov
ernment's. activities in connection
with recent strikes. The govern
ments attempts to put down riots
were attacked as nothing short OF
murder, where such attempts to end
trouble had resulted in death for
anybody.
In its discussion of war the mani
festo indicts the American people
for honoring General Pershing as
commander in chief OF the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces in Europe,
Murder Always Murder.
Murder is always murder and the
man who kills is always a MUIR
derer," the manifesto asserts.
The only service. of this man
has been in fact, that being a pro-
fessional of his craft, he came to be
by simple chance at the head of the
American armies which fought in
Europe. There, obedient to the
commands of those who sent him,
he with ability and brains led the
work of murder of men by men.
For this they raise him to the skies
and honor him in every way. All
this is done only because we are in
an age of progress and civilization,
in an age of altruism and humani-

81 Radicals Held.
New York, Nov. 9.-Thirty-seven
men suspected of leadership in the
ultra radical activities we're held on
various charges today after state
and city officers had finished ques-
tioning the 1000 and more who were
bagged late Saturday night in the
biggest raid New York ever saw.
The three prisoners regarded as
most important are:
big Jim" Larkin, former head of
the Irish Transport Workers union
and Irish revolutionist, charged with
criminal anarchy. The police said
he had forged passport in his pos
session.
Benjamin Git1ow, IS years old,
booked at police headquarters as a
former assemblyman, charged with
criminal anarchy.
Henry Pearl, S., described as
leader of the communist party in his
assembly district, charged with vio-
lation of the law prohibiting the
carrying of firearms.
Had Stormy Career. .
Larkin is one of the most widely
known English speaking radicals. He
had stormy career in Ireland and
England before he came to New
York in November, 1914. Recently
he has been seeking to return, but
the British government declined to
receive him, as a consequence OF
which the Dublin unions threatened
a one-day strike of protest. He was
arrested in 1917 here after an at
tack on the draft bill, but was dis
charged.
Larkin was arrested several times
in Dublin in 1918 in connection
with strike disorders and was ser-
fenced finally to seven months i'm
prisonment for melting riots. He
was released the following month,
however. and then began an agita-
ton for a general strike in the
United Kingdom. Since he came to
the United States he has been fire.
