wide Bolshevism.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-Thou-
sands of aliens arc now in this country
agitating for the confscation of prop
cTty and the overthrow of the Ameri-
can system of constitutional govern
ment These agitators are supported |
by many of the 5000 newspapers pub
lished in foreign languages, and these
are circulated especially in the great
centers of industry.
A federal official estimated that |
there were atelcast $4,000 aliens in the |
United States who were openly or Sc
cretly working for a Bolshevik form
of government for this country. Many
agitators do not claim allegiance to the
l. w. W., but proclaim themselves Boil |
shevists and Radical Socialists.
| A thorough investigation is being
made of these red foreign papers
Among their contributors are hun
dreds of writers who are not citizens of
| the United States. In most instances
these newspapers still circulate through
! the mails. The most radical of these
papers are printed in the Russian,
| Hungarian, Lithuanian, and the Fin
nish languages.
The evidence of the activities of
these foreigners is now in the posses
sion of the federal authorities, and
there is reason for stating that strict
enforcement of the deportation laws
against these alien trouble makers is
among the possibilities of the near flu
ture.
Russian paper, which prints a long
article dealing with the activities of
Russians who are spreading Commun-
istic propaganda in this country, says
that the struggle for the lifting of
the blockade against Russia is inter
woven with our common struggle for
the triumph and fulfllment of Com
munist Bolshevist ideals, for the tri-
umph of the PrOletarian Soviet govern
ment idea of the dictatorship of the
proletariat, not only in Russia but the
world over. tEt
Another Russian paper, also pub
lished in New York City, on Oct. IL
printed an article which shows how far
these foreign agitators go in their eff
forts to stir discomfort among their fell
low countrymen in the United States.
eve know the article reads, '.that
the American Cossacks (the New York
Ipolice) not only searched and beat up
the Russian demonstrators in Washing
! ton Square, but that they also sent
over some of them to the other world.
Among those who were killed were
, children. They tell us that a police

, that the child's entrails were crushed
out. They tell us that the police Cos
sacks wrapped up bodies and threw
them into ambulances. Let the par
ents of the lost children come The cd
itors will use all means to find the
killed and lost. So don t be afraid to
talk about these horrors which hap
pened in noisy New York under the
very windows of the rich.'
Still another newspaper, printed in
Z Russian, has circularized within the
I last two weeks among Russian speak
II ing people the following denunciation
of the United States and its citizens:
"'The American freedom loving

A paper in the language of LITTLE
Russia, an out-and-out Bolshevik organ
that enjoys large circulation, says O
( the steel strike:
l This strike with its shootings o
workers and the disposing of thei
4 meetings shows once again that tn
I government and its organs always hav
been and always will be the enemies o
: the unfortunate, and the friends of TIL
strong and rich. 1t is necessary for tn
workers to remember this simple truth
and while struggling against and DIES
troying the trusts, also to destroy TIL
organs which serve these trusts. Th
government sending its agents to XII
the strikers and to abuse them in ever.
way IS the most terrible enemy of tn
workers. Therefore workers struggling
against the trusts, must also struggl
against the government, which is i
81 the service of these trusts.
