Definite Plan of Radicals to
Expand Steel and Coal
Strikes Disclosed In Evil
dence Gathered In Half a
Score of Cities, But Plot
Is Nipped

Washington, January 3.-Radical lead
ers planned to develop the recent steel
and coal strikes into general strike
and ultimately into a revolution to over
throw the government, according to in
formation gathered by federal agents in
Friday nights wholesale roundup OF
members of the communist and coa-
munist-labor parties. A definite pro-
gramne to expand the two labor disturb
ances for the purpose OF blotting out
every semblance OF organized govern
ment was disclosed in evidence gathered
IN half a score of cities. This data, Of
ftciais said, tended to prove that the
nationwide raids had nipped the most
menacing revolutionary plot yet UNI
earthed
Officials indicated both groups OF rad
icals were only awaiting an opportunity
or good moment to carry on among
other classes of workers the same sort
of agitation employed among steel work
ers and coal miners. Among the foreign
element of the communist and COM
munist-labor parties information de-
seribed as conclusive. revealed that the
pay rolls had been loaded with agita-
tors to be sent suddenly to every fertile
field in support of a general strike cam
