In the absence of any other definite

enough Republican votes to win unless

The ‘‘communist revolution,” whic h was to have established a soviet gov
ernment in the United .States, apparently has been crushed in the making
through the nation-wide round-up of reds.
The department of justice in Washington estimated last night that more
than 4,500 of the communist labor party, including hundreds of women, were
taken into custody in the raids which were conducted simultaneously from
coast to coast Friday night and Saturday.
Hundreds of those arrested were released after examination by federal
officials. The majority, however, were held for deportation hearings. It was
said that most of the prisoners were al ! ens. These were started for Ellis Is
land by trains and boats as fast as the r preliminary hearings could b dis
posed of. More than 300 had arrived there late Saturday.
Immigration officials intimated th at an entire fleet of “anarchist arks”
might soon leave for Europe with deportees, the first boat possibly leaving
as early as January 10th.
The arrests, by cities, included: New York. 675: Detroit. 500: Chicago,

ARMED REVOLT
WAS PLANNED.
By United Press.
Washington, D. C.—An armed revolu
tion against the government and estab
lished institutions of the United. tfL* s.
with a reign of terror, was the avowed
purpose of leaders of the 4.500 radicals
rounded up In all parts of the country
federal agents, the department of just
ice revealed last night.
Thi* department made public part of
the mass of evidence that its operative*?
h%ve collected, and which was used as
the baa s for nation-wide raids.
The big drive againat foreign revohi
tloriets is still continuing and will b?
carried on until all the warrants have
been served.
forty-five hundred was given by de
partment of justice officials as thoD best
estimate of the number of suspects
taken, but many of these were released
shortly after their arrests b cause the
evidence against them was not consid
ered pufficiently con* luslve to justify
prosecution or deportation proceedings.
They were fre?c* after cross-examina
tion. Justice officials said they "had the
goods" c~ 2,635 of the 4,500 that have
passed through their hands, and that
numher is being held. This total prob
ably will b‘ increased later.
The evidence in the plot for an arm
ed revolution in this country leads first
from the left wine of the* socialist party
of America, which refused to back this
country in the war. then to the third in
ternational ccuference in Moscow, in
March 1010. and back to thn United
States th tough the formation here last
September of the (' »mmunist and Com
munist Labor parties, the department
said.
HAS BEGUN
COLLECTING ARMS.
The dangerous aliens had started the
collection of bomb#, rifles and other
war materials. A stock df military
equipment was found at Newark. N. J.,
and hundreds of weapons were taken
from individuals in other pnn.* of th<>
country, it was announced.
The two communist parties wer**
rapidly extending their activities to all
parts of the country, th«- evidence
shows. In their program was a general
uprising of negroes, whom they expect
ed to arm
Efforts also wer*? being made, it was
said, to ga n control of all labor organi
zations with the cry "down with cap
itaiism!’* Appeals were made hy leaders
of the communist wganizations for
violence and b’oodshed in the two recent
btg strikes- -those of the miners and
the steel workers. Radical alien agtta-

Twepty-fiv# communist, newspapers
were started in cities throughout the
country and tons of' revolutionary lit
erature were printed. Most of tli-’ alien
editors have been caugh* in tho big

DIRECTED THE
BOLSHEVIK!.

whole campaign was being direcied bv
the Bolshevist government of Knssla.
The United States, rich In resource,
was the first stronghold of democracy
that Lenlnc and Trotsky desired to
"sovletlae.” The whole program was to
establish the same form of government
In thlß country that Kussla now has.
The department now has under sur
veillance leaders known to bi direct
agents of Bolshevism In ths country,
and a few personal • mlssaiios of Lentil"
nnd Trotsky are likely to b« arrested
a til* near future. I* was learned.
The government wilt allow thos- ar
rested to have hearings If they desire
to make an effort to prove they were
not participants In the revolutionary
plot. These will he held bv the labor
department subject to review by fed

; FEW REDS IN

Ey UNITED PRESS.
] Atlanta. Ga.—"Rert activities in ttis
! South are comparatively unimportant
, when compared with the organizations
fn other- parts of the country," Lewis J.
Baley, superintendent of ihe bureau of
I investigation in this section, ias* nlcht
j trave as the reason why only a, ban**' i!
of alleged radical* were arrested in the
South in the < oast to const raid.
Five alleged meiiib' rs of the com
munist party were taken in custody at
Jacksonville.
The fact that only a few arrests were
made in the Mouth. Coley said, “should
Vie takpn to indicate thnt the "reds”
here are inactive rather than to indi
cate that they do not exist."
Agents of the sent tern office of th*
department of justice were shifted to
other sections of the country and aided
in the nation-wide round-up, Baley add
ed. • •
"There are a number of "reds” in At
lanta and other cities of this section
whom we have been watching," Baler
said. "They have not t> -on very active
and for this reason a’t have contented
ourgeive* with watching them. How
ever, this does not mean that they may
