And Also For the Teaching of Viol- ence--An Opportune Moment Awaited to Carry on Agitations. Washington, Jan. 6. -- Radical leaders planned to develop the re- cent steel and coal strikes into a general strike and ultimately into a {revolution to. overthrow the Ges ernment, according to information gathered by Federal agents in Fri- day night's wholesale round-up- of members of the Communist and Communist Labor parties. A definite programme to expand the two labor disturbances for the purpose of blotting out every sem- blance of organized Government was disclosed in evidence gathered in half a score of cities. This data, officials said tended to prove that the nation-wide raids had nipped the most menacing revolutionary plot yet unearthed. Officials indicated that both ing an opportune moment to carry on among other classes of workers the same sort of agitation employed {among steel workers and coal | miners. Among the foreign element {of the Communist and Communist | Labor parties information, described | as conclusive, revealed that the pay- {rolls had been "loaded" with agi |tators to be sent suddenly to every {tertile field in support of a general | strike campaign. : Millions in "Slush Fund." During the last two weeks of the coal strike, Communist agitators were discovered to have penetrated practically every mining centre east or the Mississippi River. Evidence showed that in several instances where miners had voted to retura to work the Communists had spread thelr propaganda of distrust of the Government to such an extent, it was said, that few if any miners actually got back to their jobs. Attempts to incite the mine workers to violence were the most bold in West Virginia, officials say, serious trouble being narrowly averted there. But all soft coal re- gions were infested, and much of the data leading up to Friday's no- tion-wide raids was gathered by secret agents circulating among the mine workers and coming In comn- was disclosed. The raids also disclosed that a "slush fund" had been created by the two parties against whom tne Government moves were directed. Much of this money, said to run into eeveral millions, had been set The | aside for furnishing ball for those under arrest and the teaching of violence. 2 bres AIMED AT REVOLT groups of radicals were only wait- | tact with the agitation service, it! it is M.
