BUYING AGENCY Money Support of Strikers Is Indicated in Letters; One Branch.in Seattle IS. COVER} New York, May 2—(#)—Police Com- missioner Whalen today made public photostats of Russian documents seized by his secret police, which, he declared, showed’ the Communist in- ternational of Moscow was directly responsible for the fomenting of strikes and riots in the United States. There are references in the docu- ments to expenditures for outbreaks and support of strikers, One of the documents is on the let- terhead of the Amtorg Trading cor- poration, official purchasing agent in the United States for the Soviet gov- ernment: =t has offices in New York and has transacted hundreds of thou- sands of dollars worth of business in this country. This letter lists the names of 30 men and women sent to New York by Moscow as being hard to replace and states that the recall of any one of them might result in a serious handi- cap in the work. Get Close to Cheka Commissioner Whalen said the list of 30 names includes that of one Del- gass, whom he described as the most dangerous of the undercover criminal secret palice of Moscow and one time personal secretary to Dzerginsky, or- ganizer Of the Russian Cheka. Whalen also called attention to the importance given in the documents to Boris Skvirsky, “the unofficial Soviet ambassador,” and head of the Russian information bureau at Wash- ington, who he said is revealed as handling’ the funds for the “Amtorg O. G. P. U. section.” He explained the O. G. P. U. was “the undercover criminal secret police of Moscow with | branches operating in all countries.” The commissioner said the atten- tion of the police department was drawn to the activities of the Com- munists through the number of un- necessary. and violent’ strikes which the representatives’ of labor declared to be backed by the Russian Soviet government. He ordered an investi- gation by the bureau of criminal in- formation of the New York police de- partment.

The clergy of the entire country vote strongly for enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment, although over 34 per cent of this group favor a re- peal of the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act, according to the votes received in this supplemen- tary poll. The bankers vote 34,518 for repeal and 35,210 for enforcement, with the Pelades of 15,096 vpting for madifi- cation. Practically one-half of the physi- cians vote for repeal in this poll while 30 per cent favor strict enforcement and the other 20 per cent register their opinions for modification. “Comrade G.

In the poll of nearly 500,000 educa- tors the vote for enforcement is high- er, 60 per cent, than that of the dri- est sate in he main poll, E-ansas, and the vote for repeal is less than 25 per cent of the educators’ total vote, Over 55 per cent of the votes in the lawyers’ poll are for repeal while the returns for enforcement are under 30 per cent. Bankers’ Vote Significant: The Literary Digest states they have augmented their huge nation- wide poll with these six supplemen- tary polls of the bankers, clergy, edu- cators, lawyers, physicians, and Liter- ary Digest subscribers because these special classes touch the national life in_six vital and different ways. No returns on the main poll are an- nounced this week, the current issue being devoted exclusively to the clas- sified returns which total nearly one million votes. A noticeable le trend in these extra polls, which were conducted some- what later than the main poll, is the \heavy decrease in the vote for modi- fication. “Bankers,” The Literary Digest states editorially, “are interested in keeping Atherica prosperous. Their expert fingers are on the business | Pulse of every city, town, and village, i every line of trade ‘and industry. “When they vote, they vote for good times and against hard times, and curiously e1 » We find practically the same number voting for enforce- {ment and for repeal, 35,210. for the one and 34,518 for the other, with 15,006 taking thé middle ground for modification. | = shown, with bankers in agg ei age n ing states like New York and New Jersey favoring repeal, and bankers in farming states like Kansas and Nebraska ‘fa enforcement. . ballots ‘were woring “A total of 218,711 mailed to bankers. | “The clergy, om the other hand, are Concerned over, otir spiritual. welfare: All faiths and ‘ait’ créetls are repre- sented in our poll, and all are deeply anxious over this perplexing; problem. “Out of 116,238: clergymen to. whom | » ballots were sent, we find 26,863 vot- ing for enforcement, 3,864 for modifi- cation, and 15,912:for repeal. Thus.@ chear majority are for enforcement. “When we scan the figures in the table, state by state, however, we find the bone-drys in the minority in some Places, and actual majorities for re- al in the District of Columbia, | lana, Nevada, New York, and Wisconsin. This at least shows the complexity of the great wet and dry enigma. Educaters Are Champion Drys “Then we have the champion dry yoters, the educators. . Of this class, 490,895 were supplied with ballots. We have chosen the well-known efficient and long-suffering schoolmistress to represent the teachers, but this group also includes . thousands of men, School principals, college professors and presidents, and large numbers of men teachers in all the grades. ° “The teachers are faced every day with the vital problem of our young people, which flames out in the news columns all too often, and here we have their votes to give us their judg- ment on what is to be done atout it. “The educators cast 95,422 ballots for enforcement, 22,205 for modifica- tion, and 38,956 far repeal. Connect! cut and New York stand out as the only two states where the teathers cast more votes for repeal than for enforcement. “The lawyers should surely have a chance to voice their views here, as it is @ question of law-making, law- breaking, and 1 nforcement. “Judges, too, are included in this > Two More Fargoans Enter Golden Glove Meet at Minneapolis Minneapolis, May 2—()—Eight ad- ditional entries to the Shriners’ Gpld- en Glove amateur boxing tourney on the final day of filing yesterday brought the total up to four score and ® total of approximately 60 fights for the opening night when the prelimi- Paries and semiefinals are carded.

Lawyers Differ Sharply “The lawyers evidently differ tsharply with the clergy and the teachers, for they show a clear ma- jority for repeal. They vote 18,101 for enforcement, 9,743 for modification, jand 34,886 for repeal, the only one of the six groups to show a clear major- ity for repeal. “The states where their enforce- jment vote tops repeal can be counted on the fingers. The number of bal- lots sent to lawyers was 132,489. “Nearly a majority for repeal is re- turned by the physicians, who come forward with 19,956 for enforcement, 113,568 for modification, and 32,235 for repeal, out of a total of 154,670 bal- lots sent aut. “The physician knows: us in a way different from any. of the other classes here, and he sees the prohibi- tion problem as it affects our health and,indeed,often our very lives. Here, too, the fingers suffice to-count the states where the medicial advisers fa+ vor enforcement as. against repeal. “A splendid percentage of fesponse comes from our loyal-family of Digest subscribers. True,.-the other: five classes’ respond grandly, ‘ returning from 31.46 to ‘46.83 per cent of the ballots sent out—returns almost un- precedented in such polls, and show- ing the great interest ‘in this vote. “But the Digest ‘subscribers ‘ran easily ahead of them all, and returned | 570,656 out of a total of 1,023,621-bal- \tots sent to them, or 56.7. per cent.
