great regularity: and that its maSnl-
tude could be measured by the bold
and. outspoken statements" fonr1 IN
the literature. Accompanying his

ed with such regularity that rs mag

made therein to inaugurate nation

cerpts, and it is the first time in the
history OF The socalled radical move
1rnent in the. United States that thase
radical elements have found a COM
mon cause (Bolshevisn) in which
they can all unite. The I. W. w, an

perfecting an amalganaation with one
object, ard one object only, in view,
namely, the overthrow Of the govern
