The Lusk committee investigating
Bolshevism is planning, it became
known yesterday, roundup of the
sparlor" Bolshevists whose names
we're found in documents seized by
state police troopers when they de-
scended Saturday on the |. w. W.
headquarters, the chief Office of the
Left Wing" Socialists and the Rand
School. 1t is the purpose of the COM
mittee to learn by subpoena if these
radicals advocate the overthrow Of the
government by violence.
"These radicals" said one of the
mea connected with the Lusk COM
mistee yesterday, may be divided
cto three groups. The first is small
minority who would resort to any ex-
sreme to carry out their programme
Of revolution. The second is made up
Of loose-mouthed, mentally unbalanced
palitieal reformers. The third consists
J. Of ! deprayed few drawn together by
talk Of free love and naturalization
Of women and that sort of thing We
intend to put them all on the stand
and give them an opportunity to ex-
plain."
Big Haul of Literature
Wagon loads of Red literature, cor
respondence and multitude of docu-
iaents Of every variety were seized in
the raids. Early yesterday morning
the raiders had departed from the I.
W. W. headquarters, on East Fourth
Street, and from the stamping ground
Of John Reed and other Left Wing
ers,' in West Twenty-ninth Street. but
they were still on guard at the Rand
School, in East Fifteenth Street, last
night
Two state troopers stood guard over
big safe bearing the legend Society
oi Commonwealth Centre, Inc" This
Is the organization owning and operat-
ing the building in which the Rand
school and other radical enterprises
nave space. AS it was not named in
sne search warrant, the raiders could
not take possession of it.
Aigernon Lee, leader of the Social
isss in the Board of Aldermen and the
Sensational director of the Rand
ocnool, refused to open the safe for
q. =. Stevenson, one of the legal aids
q the Lusk committee, and so the
Noopers were placed on guard, to re-
nam there until an application for a
search warrant can be made before a
Magistrate to-day.
Committee Meets To-day
Inc Lusk committee will meet to-
aN IN executive session, at which it

hhiie the radicals were busy de-
s'sneing the Lusk committee for the
n'os, other citizens were equally loud
