RADICAL POSTERS
PART Of NATION
WIDE CONSPIRACY
Communists Had Big Plan
to Make This May Day
Notable.

Recent distribution OF inflammatory
posters in which the workers are urg-
ca 10 burn, .slay and steal and begin
q new era lend interest to Develop
ments which have been coming to
iight In New York city where the ati-
tnorities are discovering evidence
which leads them to believe that the
radicals of the United States had
made all arrangements to make the
May day just ahead OF us notable by
9 rising which would make the birth.
day. OF the Commune. The collapse
OF the railroad strike however spoiled
this plan, and 1t is quite possible that
when 1t was decided to call off the at
tempt 1t was not possible to commun-
icate with those to whom was assigned
the task of preparing the ground IN
this country. #
According to reports submitted to the
Department of Justice and to the New
York Police Department the more op-
timistic OF the agltators, the majority
OF them being camouflaged Commliri-
lists. have been predicting that mot a
wheel In any big industry In America
would be turning Saturday morning
Such a state OF affairs was supposed
to obtain for twenty-four hours. when
satisfied that the country was con-
WINGED that the radicals could do as
they chose with labor. the wheelslwere
to start turnin~ again!
Economic, social and political de-
mands were to be made while this
fair warning" was fresh in the minds
of wall street, and of course Wall
street readily falling in with the
Tcheme, was to be too scared to whis-
per a protest.
Absurd as all this may seem. 1t is
but a meagre hint of the May Day plan
as conceived by the 1. W. w. and the
Communists. The plans were evolved
in Chicago and propasandists with
ample funds and vocabularies were
sent east to line up all dtssenters'
from the rule Of the railroad brother
hoods and the American Federation OF
Labor.
No arrests have been made for the
simple reason that the agents of the
May day plan committee have peefi
Just q little cleverer than most OF the
detectives seeking evidence OF GRIM
inal radicalism. The propaganda fiae
consisted OF observation-disclosures let
tors, small stickers and the like. When
directors, propagandists and district
leaders feared spies and photographs
they abandoned personal conferences
and used telephones and seldom the
same telephone twice.

Through the generosity Of Charles
p Hawker, the law library of the
Marion County Bar Association has
been enriched by the gift of more than
three hundred volumes, many Of which
are so rare as to be almost priceless.
Mr.. Hawker has not been engaged
In the active practice OF law for the
past fifteen. years, and although no
has received humber of offers that
were advantageous from a pecuniary
standpoint. he preferred to donate
them to the library where they are
more available for the use OF a larger
number Of members of the bar than
they would be In private collection.
Among the rare books are one hun.
dred Volumes with digest Of the orig.
nal Virginia Supreme Court reports,
down to the time OF the formation OF
the new. state OF West Virginia, in
1853. This Is the only set Of these
books IN this section. Another rare
BET Is that OF the American and Eng.
lish railway cases, containing a com.
plete list Of American, Canadian and
English cases up to the past three OF
four years.
A number Of miscellaneous works
make up the balance OF the collection,
which completely fills twenty.fouT
standard size sections.
