I leave it entirely © your discretion as to the method by which you should gain access 0 such plac If, due to the local conditions in your territory, you ind that it is absolutely necessary for you to obtain a search warrant or the premises, you should communicate with the local authorities a ew hours before the time for the arrests is set and request a warrant 9 search the premises. “Under no conditions are you to take into your onfidence the local police authorities or the state uthorities prior to the making of the arrests. It 3 not the intention nor the desire of this office that \merican citizens, members of the two organizations, e arrested at this time. If, however, there are taken nto custody any American citizens, through error nd who are members of the Communist Party of \merica or the Communist Labor Party, you should mmediately refer their cases to the local authorities, “Tt may be necessary, in order to successfully aake the arrests that you obtain the assistance of he local authorities at the time of the arrests. This action should not e taken, unless it is absolutely necessary; but I will appreciate that rhere a large number of arrests are to be made it may be impossible or the same to be made by special agents of this department, in which vent you are authorized to request the assistance ef the local police uthorities. Such assistance should not be requested until a few hours efore the time set for the arrests, in order that no ‘leak’ may occur. is to be distinctly understood that the arrests made are being made nder the direction and supervision of the Department of Justice. “For your own personal information, I have to advise you that the ntative date fixed for the arrests of the Communists is Friday eve- ing, January 2, 1920. This date may be changed, due to the fact iat all the immigration warrants may not be issued b$ that time. ou will, however, be advised by telegraph as to the exact date and our when the arrests are to be made. * cE possible you should arrange with your under-cover informants to have meetings of the Communist Party and the Communist Labor arty held on the night set. I have been informed by some of the ireau officers that such arrangements will be made. This, of course, ould facilitate the making of the arrests, “On the evening of the arrests, this office will be open the entire ght and I desire that you communicate by long distance to Mr. Hoover 1y matters of vital importance or interest which may arise during the urse of the arrests. You will possibly be given from seven o'clock in e evening until seven o’clock in the morning to conclude the arrests id examinations. As pointed out previously, grounds for deportation these cases will be based solely upon membership in the Communist arty of America or the Communist Labor Party and for that reason will not be necessary for you ip go in detail into the particular ac- sities of the persons apprehended. It is, however, desirable that wher- er possible you should obtain additional evidence upon the individuals, rticularly those who are leaders and officers in the local organization. 1e immigration inspector will be under instruction to cooperate with u fully and I likewise desire that you cooperaté in the same manner th the Immigration Inspector at the time of the arrests, as well as Rowing the arrests. At the hearings before the Immigration In- ector you should render any and all reasonable assistance to the im- gration authorities, both in the way of offering your services to them d the services of any of your stenographic force. It is of utmost cessity that these cases be expedited and disposed of at the earliest ssible moment and for that reason stenographic assistance and any sistance necessary should be rendered by you to the immigration spectors. An ‘excellent spirit of cooperation exists between the Com- ssioner-General of Immigration and this Department in Washington d I desire that the same spirit of cooperation between the field of- ers of this bureau and the field offi of the Bureau of Immigra- n also exist. 246 * DESIRE that the morning following the arrests you should forward to this office by special delivery marked for the ‘Attention of Mr. ‘over’ a complete list of the names of the persons arrested, with an lication of residence, or organization to which they belong, and ether or not they were included in the original list of warrants. In ses where arrests are made of persons not covered by warrants, you nuld at once request the local immigration authorities for warrants all such cases and you should also communicate with this office at » same time. I desire also that the morning following the arrests it you communicate in detail by telegram ‘Attention of Mr. Hoover’ » results of the arrests made, giving the total number of persons of th organization taken into custody, together with a statement of y interesting evidence secured. “The ae covers the general instructions to be followed in these ‘ests and the same will be supplemented by telegraphic instructions the proper time.” : in Along with these general orders went “Instructions to Agents’ o were to do the dirty work. These were numbered, and Number showing official instructions were issued at Washington to violate tstitutional rights, is proven by this clause which said: i “Person or persons taken into custody not to be permitted to com- nicate with any outside person until after examination by this ice and until permission is given by this office.” ~*~ * * . IAD been invited to eat New Year’s dinner with Ben Schrager. I eft his home to go north to the Swedish L.W.W. Hall. I had stepped *k into one of the rear rooms when one of the fellow workers came and told me that there were two detectives in the buffet at the front. I said: “I'd better get out of here,” as the boys had already »wed me one of the evening papers with flaring headlines: “The Vv.W. Raided Again.” I went to the home of Mary and Leslie Marcy, ere I stopped that night. s et The following evening, Jack Johnstone, who was then organizer * the stockyard workers, sent his car with an invitation to gotoa rce that they had selected on Ontario Street near Michigan Boule- rd. There I remained for a couple of days. When I went to ristensen’s office they were surprised when they saw me, and asked: lawen’t the police got you yet?” 3 I said: “Not yet.” They informed me that every one at Headquarters except the nographers was under arrest. That afternoon I went with Wil- n Bross Lloyd to Judge Pam’s court. There Lloyd gave bond for for the sum of $10,000, Ed. Nockles, secretary of the Chicago leration of Labor, was in the court room. I said to him: “It’s hell, that the I.W.W. should get pinched for the things the A.

In it he plays the same cards as Hoover played in America, promising the continuation of the “prosperity” under which the coun- |try now sxffers, with hundreds of thousands of miners starving, mil- lions of unemployed, and the gov- ernment concentrating on the naval race with Wall Street imperialism. The conservative policy, declared Baldwin, was one of “peace at home and abroad” and tried to prove this by stating that the British fleet had been reduced, which everyone knows to be untrue. “Those who talk most of disarmament do not seem to re- member what other nations are do- | ing,” he added with a fling at the | U. S. government. Lloyd George and Ramsay Mac- Donald, the other two of the “big * three,” have been spending their last | two days in charging that Baldwin | has used government funds to buy space in the press for the tory elec- tion campaign. There is but little | difference between the two in the| | appeal to the voters. So weak-kneed is the laborite program that Mac- Donald is able to talk for hours without once mentioning the word “socialism” or only making pretenses occasionally in favor of a workers’ program. | The Communist Party has put 25) candidates on the field and is carry- ing on the campaign primarily ~in the factories and industrial centers on a clear class issue. The desertion of such traitors as Cook, and the backboneless character of the labor party leaders, is rallying more work- | ers about the Party. Henry Pollitt, Secretary of the minority movement and national in- | dustrial organizer of the Communist Party, is opposing MacDonald in his home town, Lossiemouth. s RENEW REVOLT IN VENEZUELA |Dictator Sends Troops to Three States CARACAS, Venezuela, May 14, Reports of the outbreak of a new | movement of revolt against the bru- tal dictatorship of General Gomez have passed thru the strict censor- ship. The movement is concentrated in the states of Lara, Trujillo and Portuguesa, From his well-guarded county re- | treat Gomez has telegraphed to Act- ing President Juan B. Perez ordering him to send five generals “with the necessary forces” to these states.| The troops left Sunday, it was an- nounced todsy. Another order issued by Gomez declares that’ it has become neces+ sary to “clean up” Caracas and the neighboring districts, where a “sub- versive conspiracy” is said to be under way. No further details were given, From the numerous arrests that have taken place in Vénezuela and the sharpening of the terror in that country it seems likely that the in- surgent movement is gaining stead- ily despite official denials, —_____ THREATEN ICE STRIKE LYNN, Mass.
