DOMINATION OF
STRIKER RANKS
Agitators Working To Gain
Control OF Thousands OF

INDUSTRIAL REVOLT is

Red Propaganda Responsible
Z For Many Unauthorized
WalkOuts Lately.
By Hugh Baillie

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. 16.-Radical agita-
tors are working to gain control of thou
sands Of men On strike in America to-
day, aud thousands more, who are threat
ening to strike according to information
received by the government from conf
Dental sources.
The purpose of these radicals is said
to be to lead the strikers in an indus
trial revolt that would border on g. po-
litical revolt.
Their propaganda is held responsrpfe
for many of the unauthorized strikes.
The fact that President Wilson is ill,
that his confidential adviser, Colonel
House is ILL., and that Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation Of
Labor and foe of extreme radicalism, is
in very noor health and liable to suffer
a breakdown, makes the situation even
more difficult for the government to
handle.
The national industrial conference
now in session in Washington was look.
ed upon by many officials as u dam
against the flood of industrial difficult
ties. Even now that tie conference APP
pears to be having some difficulty In
making progress, great dependence is
being placed in it. Administration of
ficials expect that after many clashes

deadlock, the delegates realizing the VI

thing constructive, will get together at
the finish and produce remedy.

The cabinet officers are going over il
this week. 1t is likely to be the prin-

Unauthorized strikes are viewed by
labor officials, cabinet members and
congressman alike as bad symptom
Rail Director Hines has warned B. NJ
Jewell, acting president of the railway
employees department, American Federa-
tion of Labor, that they were "creat-
ing the basis for an argument that it is
nonsense TO recognize labor organiza-
tions and to try to deal with them"
w. g. Lee, of the Brotherhood of
Railway rrainmen, sees in these strikes
an indication that the radicals are
breaking the grip of the conservative
American Federation of Labor on its
own locals. Within the two days Lee
said he felt as if he were "sitting over
a volcano" in his own organization.
