of Raids Planned to Rid

New York-A nationwide raid on
anarchists began here on October q.
Agents of the department of Justice,
led by William ]. Flynn, arrested more
than 200 radicals assembled in the
headquarters of the Russian soviet re-
public, and, after they had been taken
to headquarters of the department Of
Justice and cross-examined, fifty were
held for deportation as undesirable
dtlzens.
Eight women were taken in the raid,
of whom two were held for deporta-
ton. While the men were being ex-
amlned, reports were received of other
raids which were made on radicals in
Philadelphia, Detroit, Newark, Jackson,
Mich; Waterbury, Conn; Chicago and
other places.
1t was learned that thirty-six war
rants had been issued by Commissioner
General of immigration Caminetti for
radicals known to have been particu-
larly active in the Industrial unrest of
the country. 1t was reported that
these persons, who were particularly
sought, had been caught. They were
taken to police headquarters.
The raids, taking place on the eve
Of widely advertised celebrations of
the second anniversary of the estab-
lishment of the soviet government in
Russia, were said to have nipped in
the bud countrywide plot openly to
defy governmental authorities. This
has been advocated, it was said, for
several weeks by combined radical
elements, the l. w. W., anarchist and

justice, it was said.
