that a great deal of printing had been
recently completed for early distri
button. One Of the interesting docu-
ments was a receipt book showing the
voluntary contributions from various
societies and individuals to the cause
of the left wing. Another was card
index bearing the names of various
prominent people throughout the city
who had either sienified their intention
of joining the socialistic cause, or
were regarded as possible converts"
The walls of the inner Offices were
covered with an array Of flaming post
ers asking for contributions for revo-
lutionary socialism.
Despite the fact that the national
executive committee of the Socialist
party recently issued a statement that
all efforts were to be directed in the
future to "exterminate revolutionary
for funds in the following words:
"The left wing publishes "The New
York Communist the paper that in
America enunciates the communist
principles and whole-heartedly sup
ports the Bolsheviki of Russia and the
Spartacans of Germany. The left wing
is now being attacked by the reaction
aries of the party, by The New York
Call by the capitalistic press and by
the government Money has been
spent, and more is needed To wipe
out our debt, to continue the publica-
tion of The New York Communist to
carry on this important fight, We need
$4,000! Contributions are asked to be
sent to Macmillan Cohen, 43 West
Twenty-ninth Street, at once"
The latest number of "The Commun-
ist" publishes an unsigned article en-
titled: "Scuttlng the Ship" The open
ing paragraph reads as follows:
"Comrades: There is hardly party
member who does not know that the
trend within the party for the last sew
eral months has been toward revolu-
tionary and uncompromising socialism,
We have all been taught great lesson
by the Schedemanns and Kautsks of
Germany, the Hcndersons of England,
and Socialists the world over.
I'VE know that brand Of socialism,
the kind that always trades and COM
promises with the capitalist classes,
and the supporters of which in time
Of war and revolution dosnot hesitate
to go hand by hand with their imperi-
alistic governments and revenge them
selves upon comrades of such sterling
character as Liebknecht, Rosa Luxem-
burg and others. We know that Social
lists believing in this kind of socialism
are not to be trusted without party
management"
The search warrant for the seizure
of the socialistic literature was issued
by Magistrate Alexander Brough up
on affidavit of Michael J. Driscoll, a
member Of the Lusk committee. The
literature neatly wrapped in brown
paper bundles was Acarried away to
the headquarters of the Lusk COM
mittee less than a short hour after
Sergeant McVcy and his men entered
the premises. All information re-
garding the contents of the bundles
was withheld until it had been in
vestigatcd by members of the Lusk
committee. No arrests were made and
little commotion was caused, the ma
jority of people in the immediate
vicinity being unaware that raid was
in progress.

state troopers commanded by Sergeant
McVey, aided by six members of the
bomb squad, in charge of John j.

John Reed, who was recently acouft-
ted of printing seditious articles in
"The Masses" which has since been
forced to suspend publication, is named
IN the search warrant as "having GER

using as means of committing aapub,

of New York; of bringing about the
overthrow of organized government by
force; by unlawful means; by melting
riot, and endangering life and the de-
struction Of valuable property"
Raiders Find Doors Locked s.
When the troopers of Company X
entered the premises they found all
the doors of the top tioor locked. So

who were playing pool and cards, were
not molested, and as soon as. the care

There was little commotion and no
resistance. No one was, however, al
lowed to enter or leave the building
during tls search. After all the avail
able doekments had been taken from
John ResI's Office the effects of Maxi
milan Cohen, executive secretary of
the left wing of the Socialists, were
seized, together with those of Benjamin
Gitlow, the business manager Of "The

Under the caption "a Reply to a

davit quotes in part:

"Do we hold that the revolution must
come by violence? To answer this

organization of the working class in
order that it may assume the state

From "The Rebel Worker" an l. w.
W. paper printed in this city, there is
quoted from the issue of April Is last
the following:
"The United States is in the grip of
a bloody revolution! Thousands of
workers are slaughtered by machine
guns in New York City! Washington
is on fire Industry is at standstill
and thousands of workers are starving.
The government is using the most bru-
tai and repressiye measures to out
down the revolution. The above is
what we may expect to see on the front
pages of what few newspapers survive

List of Names Given
The affidavit, continuing says the
number of persons "who are engaged
in maintaininge the said promises and
in circulating, selling, displaying, dis
