marked success in so far as it relates
to syndlcalist unions in the United

Communist parties in this country,
MIR. Daugherty says, have united to
more effectively carry on propaganda,
and the policy is to endeavor to gain
control of the labor organizations

committees or other governing bodies
therein.
"Many of the leaders of this move
ment are American citizens" he says,
though they are subject to orders
from Moscow as to their action and
activities in the United States"

been a noticeable effort upon the
part of various so-called defense So
cleties to propagate and carry on agi-
tation in behalf of the ultaradicals in

traradical movement apprehended To-
cally." he asserts, ARE martyred and
propaganda started in their hehalf,
