Folks who are inclined to view the
reports OF the activity of the So
called Reds in the United States as
the work OF aIarmists, would do well
to red the series of articles being
made public by the United Mine
Workers OF America, charging a
movement TO bring America under
the banner OF the Moscow eommun-
lists. The nth of these articles,
made pubHc last week, declares that
the communist party in America now
has membership of over 100000,
and has now cast off the mask of
secrecy and is working in the open.
This organization is working under
the direction OF Lenin and zinoyiey,
the Russian dictators, and is IL
nanced direct from Russia. The
Red menace in the United States is

Ellsworth The American some

general character of the out-Of-tOWn

being done to Hancock hall. Under
the local management, the latter OBJ
