on Monday by Department Of Justice

lieved by Federal officials to have been

In Strengthening out the affairs of the
so-called Workers Party OF America.
formed in this city some months ago
and actually the legal organization or
the Communist party OF America. which
Is the recognized branch OF the Third
International Of Moscow.
There Is abundant evidence in the
possession OF the Federal officials that
the Third International ordered the fol-
nation OF the so-called Workers party.
1t is also well known to all radicals. and
to the Socialists as well, that follow
ing the formation of this party there
was a fine internal row that threatened
to disrupt the whole Of the Communist
organization. Kowalsky Is believed to
have been empowered to Iron out The
differences that had arisen. and 1t is
believed he succeeded to degree.
From the information at hand 1t ap-
pears that Kowalsky's activity in re-
lation to the coal strike was Incidental.
Following the usual Communistic tactics
he made the most Of a labor situation
that had arisen. to urge the propa-
gandists of the Communists to stir UP
discomfort. 1t may be said that some
Department OF Justice officials do cot
believe that Kowalsky or any other
Communist had anything to do with The
starting of the coal strike.
Workers' Party n Blind,
According to radical sources of in
formation the Workers party is not
likely to prove very effective. 1t is not
really expected to be. The so-calied
thesis ordering its formation, issued by
the Third international in Moscow some
months ago. made that perfectly clear,
thus
The program of the legal party will
have to be somewhat restricted-special
measures and slogans which, while not
stating the Illegal Communist purpose.
will effectively have revolutionary
effect upon the masses. must be adopted.
The legal party must at all times. go as
far toward the Communist program as
is possible while continuing a legal cx-
istence."

not sink into disuse. but. on the con-

machinery. The underground
machinery is not merely for emergencies,
but for constant and permanent use"

minority faction made q lot of noise. re-
