Shipyard Manager
Says Deportation
Is Not Red Cure
Baltimore Drydocks Com.
pany Official Tells How
Loyal Workers Foiled
Soviet Plot at His Plant

How plans to start sovietizing the
shlpbullding yards of the country on
armistice day were frustrated by loya1
workers, with the result that sixty
agltators, two Of whom were deported d
last week. were forced by fellow work
men to leave one plant, was told yester-
day by A. Muhlhauser, employment
manager of the Baltimore Dry Docks
and Shipbuilding Company, at the Nc
Alpin Hotel.
AT the same time Mr.. Muhlhauser,
who oversees the handling of 1000 work
men, declared that deportation of the
alien may give temporary relief. but
VIII not solve the present unrest among
aoor in this country. The "cooties of
radlcalism," the "red" agitators. he de
clared. can best be handled by enlight-
ened opinion among the workers them
selves.
CleverIy Planned
The plan for the workers to take
over the plant of the Baltimore Drv
Docks and Shipbuilding Company was
fellow TO the steel and coal strikes.
the unionization Of the police and the
agitation for the Plumb plan in con-
nectlon with the railroads, Mr.. Muhl
hauser declared.
1t was so cleverly planned, he said,
that 1T would have been carried out
with little or no violence.
Representatives OF the Russian
Workers Union, he declared. worked
among the shop committees at this
plant, and on the day following armis-
tice day called q meeting, at which
circular No. 3 of the propaganda was
distributed. This fell into the hands
OF company official, who promptly
notlhed the Department Of Justice,
which placed several of the leaders of
the movement under arrest.
Then the shop committees in the
plant were told by company officials
tnat 1t was their problem to solve
whether they should allow the agi-
tators to remain and discredit the
ioval workers or to have houseclean-
ing. The result was that sixty rad
reals. including eight leaders, were told
to leave the plant, and did so. Since
men only two others have been forced
to leave and the movement to sovietize
the plant has ceased
Stirred by the radicals attemnt. the
employees of the plant then organized
the Loyal Workers League. Its plat
form included four planks-loyalty.

"Deportation will not effect an ab-

clared Mr.. Muhlhauser yesterday, be
cause this country has an .incubative
environment that permits propaganda

seed and then cutting off the bios son,
OF the flower that results. The way to
stop un-American radicalism is to 20

The way to do that is to make the
