One of the storm centers is Bavaria, especially Munich, he writes. wees The situation in southern Germany has entirely changed dur- | ing the last feew weeks. Thousands of persons, including women, attend meetings at which unadulterated Bolshevism is advocated. | A political faction has arisen which is even stronger than the Spar- tacans. The members of this party call themselves Syndicalists, | and evidently are led or inspired by terrorists who escaped from !

Berlin (Tuesday), via Copenhagen, April 1.—Almost all the; labor forces of Germany are striking or threatening to strike as a | ! result of agitation carried on by independent socialists, and the | Sparticides are succeeding in their efforts to induce the workers ; to make increasingly impossible demands. i The situation everywhere is grave, and the aim of the Spar-; ticides is said to be purely political. Sanguinary engagements have i occurred at Kastrop, in Westphalia. A procession of miners which ! was on its way to the office of the Kastrop Anzeiger clashed with LEAGUE ECONOMIC PROGRAM IN FEDERAL COURTS OF THE STATE {Representative Property-Owners From Every County in North Dakota Unite in Application to National Court for Injunction * Against Officials Entrusted With Operation of Townley Ex- \ periment in Applied Socialism—Several Counts Cited. 4 | Fargo, N. D., April 2.—A taxpayers committee said to repre- sent every county in North Dakota today attacked the economic program of the Nonpartisan league through a petition ‘filed in. federal court here asking for an order restraining the state offi-— icers.of North Dakota from taking any action under the so-called {“league program bills.” ‘ H It is understood that this committee has been organizing for its attack for some weeks past, and that there is at least one petitioner from each county in the state. Confiscation of property and infringement of the rights of the petitioners as American ‘citizens is alleged in the application for an injunction. VIOLATES FEDERAL CONSTITUTION | ¢Based on the contention that the state is prohibited under the constitution of the United States from engaging in private | business, suit was filed in the U.
