TERRORIST PLOT
TO STAY OFFICIALS

SlNATE FEDERAL, STATE AID

calls to Devise Ways and Means Of
Disposing of Men Who Were
Active Against Red Movement.

of the red" squad of the department
of justice, and Detective Sergt. ]. ].
Gegan of the bomb squad were the
men marked for death for their activi-
ties in the recent drive to halt the
red movement by depOrtations and
criminal prosecutions.
Three members of the Union of
Russian Workers disclosed the plans
when they made it known that they
believed their arrest was due to knowl-
edge of the death plot"
Some time ago, it was said, COM
mittee of five was selected by the radi-
calls to devise ways and means for dis
posing of their enemies, and it was
learned that the committee was told
that if the use of bombs was decided
upon, an expert chemist would be OBJ
tanned.
The committee was composed OF
three l. w. w. members and two mem.
bers of the Union of Russian Work.

The Lusk legislative investigation
committee is endeavoring to learn If
the existence of S6S,0O0 fund for the
purchase of arms and ammunition to
equip the red army for a revolt is
more than idle talk.
The sum was mentioned by a REQ
orator in Boston, and it is commonly
supposed that the amount represents
contributions levied on members fol
the specific purpose for preparing fol
an armed revolution by an Organiza
ton of red guards" in New York.

EFFORT TO SECURE
INDUSTRIAL PEACE
REPRESENTATIVE AMERICANS
REQUESTED BY PRESIDENT
TO DISCUSS PROBLEM.
Unlike the Recent Industrial Confer
ence, New Body Will Represent No
Distinctive Group, But Will Act
in Interests of the People.

Washington.-Anoth effort to bring
Industrial peace To the. country is to be
made by conference of former fed
eral and state officials, business men
and economists, the personnel of which
was announced on November 20 at
the White House.
Unlike the national industrial con-
ference. which came to grief over the
question of collective bargaining, the
new body will represent no distinctive
group, but will undertake to act in the
interest of the people as whole. 1t
will meet in Washington on December
1, the date of the beginning of the
regular session of congress.
In his letter of invitation to the sew
enteen men who are to make up the
new gathering, President Wilson said
the new representatives should have
concern that our industries may be
conducted with such regard for justice
and fair dealing that the workman will
feel himself induced to put forth his
best efforts, that the employer will
have an encouraging profit, and that
the public will not suffer at the hands
of either class"
| No procedure was outlined for the
gathering, and this will be determined
by the conference itself. No repre-
sentatives of labor were included in
the personnel. nor will there be any
representatives of capital as such. Sec.
rotary of Labor Wilson headed the
net officers and two former federal Of
ficials, but the president did not APP
point any of the men who served in
the first conference.

ALL Of IRELAND
An ARMED CAMP
ISLAND RESEMBLES SECTOR u!
FLANDERS, ENGLISH COR
RESPONDENT SAYS.
Steel Pill Boxes on the Railway Bridge
Commanding Liberty Hall and
Guards Walking the Streets
at All Times.

London.-"All Ireland Is organized
and under arms" says the Daily Ex-
press, in commenting editorially on the
disclosures OF special English cor
respondent who is investigating condi-
tons in that country.
1T was like old times in Flanders,
landing in Ireland says the cores
pendent. Il saw the familiar figures
with tin hats and fixed bayonets
guarding the battery of Kingston har-
Dor. A military airplane droned over
head and train full of officers was
just coming in.
..In Dublin l met tanks waddling
from the castle; found steel pill
box on the railway bridge commanding
Liberty hall; guards in full war kits
were marching the streets. 1t might
have been Arras in 1917.
From Dublin l got nearer the front
line. Military precautions became
more complete. At the railway sta
ton soldiers entrained. Only one at
a time was allowed to leave the ranks
and no man is allowed to get to his
rifle.
There is a piling up of arms in
Ireland-the soldiery knows what that
means. If girl speaks to soldier
she is put in Coventry by her friends.
AT the moving picture no native will
sit beside a soldier-he is Ostracized.
Civilians Swallowed rae and thoroughly
searched my luggage and bedroom to
see if l had arms.
Il sent package of films to Eng
land; it never got there. On the other
hand l was advised to use the repub-
lican mail service on the ground that
| it was more rapid than the English
post. Everywhere l went was asked
to buy the republican war loan. The
republican uniform is Haunted openly
in daylight.
Fifty mounted men, whose horses
wore special shoes to muffle the
sound of galloping hoofs, took me out
to the country after midnight, picking
up recruits as they went along, and
l saw secret drill guarded by armed
sentries. Hundreds upon hundreds OF
disciplined men are picketing the coun
try, reporting the movements of the
police and the military. The republi
cans have a system Of exchanging sig
mails by lamp flashes"

BOLSHEV|SM GETS
FOOTHOLD IN ITALY
THE SOCIALIST PARLIAMENTARY
GROUP EVIDENTLY ANIMATED
BY REvoLuTiONARiES.
Radicals Planning Rebellion with the
Idea Of overthrowing the Present
Government. open Affront to
King Being Advised.

Rome.-Rumors Of the widest char
acser regarding the possibility of
very serious crisis, involving not only
the cabinet, but also the reignlng house
OF Italy, are In circulation as the open
ing of parliament, sci for December i,
approaches.
The Socialists, proud of their recent
victory, are eager to continue what
they call their march forward. Their
older, more authoritative members of
the party, however, such as Deputy
Turati, leader of the lntransigcants
Deputy Trever and Signor Madigliania,
are against any excuses.
The new elements which have en-
tered the Socialist parliamentary
group are declared to be animated by
revolutionary sentiments and to favor
an extreme policy which. in their
opinion, will inevitably lead TO the adj
vent of Bolshevism in Italy. This sec
ton now is undoubtedly the most num-
erous. If not the most important. in
the party. Ii is considered that II VIII
almost certainly assume command OF
the party because of the audacity and
determination of its members to attain
control by whatever means seems best
to them.
Members OF this section are quoted
as declaring that, comprising, as they
do, more than $50 "liye wires" among
the $50 deputies, the remainder will
not dare oppose them and that they
will be able to accomplish some "su-
preme act of rebellion which will over
throw the tottering government of the
bourgeoise."
Formerly the Socialists never at
tended the opening of parliament ,ab-
senting themselves so that they might
avoid being present when the king de-
livered his speech from the throne and
to escape taking the prescribed oath
in the kings presence. The newly
elected extreme Socialists, however,
now insist that the entire group should
attend the ceremony, hiss the king in
shut him the moment he appears and
prevent him from speaking. They have
even gone so far as to threaten that
he would be attacked on his way to
the chamber or upon his return.
