most active spirits in this sinister or ganization are now on their way back to soviet Russia on the transport Bu- ford with the notorious anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berk man.

 Good wishes to our comrades in America from the exiled comrades on the high sea

 Introduce Ienine Manifesto
 The communist represents the ad- vocates of violence and direct actions and heads its international member ship with the thames of Lenine and Trotzky. In the United States. it has found it's main sources of recruits among the most ignorant of the alien population and it's principal strength has been in the congested districts of New York and Chicago. What the communists, who take their name from the wild orgy of bloodshed and anar- chy which Paris experienced after the Franco -Prussian' war, really stands for, was set forth in d manifesto by Lenine, which was produced in evidence at to- days hearing before the Lusk legisla- tive committee in Rochester.
 This manifesto declared that the
 communists must plan for the dis
 armament of tho "bourgeoisie," the
 srrning of the "Iaborersv and the
 formation of red army similar to
 that of the Russian soviet. It de-
 clared that conquest of political
 power should mean not merely a
 change in personnel but annihiIa-
 ton of all opponents.
 Teach Doctrine in Sunday Schools
 In the United States the organization of the communist party had reached the extent that Sunday schools had been formed in New York. Rochester, and other cities where the children of aliens were taught the communist doc trineS and encouraged to ridicule all religious beliefs. Evidence was in- trOduced before the Lusk committee to show that a close connection exist ed between the American communist organization and the bureau main tained in New Yorl>ll by l.. c. A K. Martens, the self-styled ambassador of soviet Russia. The propaganda spread by the communists in the United States was indicated by evidence. showing that leaflets setting forth their> prin- ciples, have been distributed through out the country at the rate of 200. 900 to 500.0O0 daily

 That it was a nationwide conspiracy was first brought to light on April 30. when IT dynamite bombs were found in the mails at the New York post office. In the meantime. a warning was sent broadcast and other bombs were seized in various postoffices through the country. Several of the internal machines reached their destinations but with one exception, either failed to explode or did no damage.
 The bombs were addressed to many cablnet and government officials and prominent citizens. including Attorney General Palmer. Postmaster General Burleson. United States Judge Landis of Chicago; Secretary of Labor Wilson. John D. Rockefeller J. F. Morgan. United States Commissioner General or immigration Caminetti William w. Woods, of Boston; Governor SprouI of Pennsylvania; John l.. Burnett. chair man of the house immigration com mittee, and w. J. Shaffer, attorney general of Pennsylvania.
 One of the internal machines which was sent to Senator Thomas Hardwick Of Georgia, when opened at the sena- tors home, exploded and blew the hands off a negro maid and injured Mrs. Bardwick
 All the bombs found at this time were cleyerly concealed in small, col iapsibleboxes and were wrapped with paper, which bore the forged name of Gimbel Brothers
