As it hap- pened, the bomb intended for Senator Hartwick exploded prematurely, dis- closing the plot. This bomb bore a wrapper marked “Gimbel Bros., New York.” It had been mailed in New York at a time calculated to bring it to its Gestination on May 1. Tt ex- ploded on April 23. Acting on the assumption that other bombs would have Leen sent, intended to arrive at their various destinations on the same date—May 1—postal inspectors immediately sent Instructions to ev postmaster in the country to watch for packages bearing the Gimbel Bros. wrapper, and as a result 24 bombs were taken from the malls at various points before the hour timed for their explosion, and not a single life was lost. Although several per- sons were suspected of belng impli- cated in this plot, the evidence was not strong enough to guarantee con- viction, and no arrests were made. These various outrages—the Gim- bel Bros. bomb plot, the plot to as- sassinate President Wilson, the plot to destroy Attorney General Palmer and other public officials, the Wall Street explosion—are mentioned to show that the communists in the United States actually are active, that they are not merely preaching the overthrow of the Government, but also are pressing home their teach- ings by demonstrative acts; that these “red” organizers who arrive to found communist groups obtain as members persons who became convinced that the revolutionary doctrines they listen to should be accepted as just and lated heat.

The raids by the Government in 1919 were intended to wipe out this communist movement in the United States, and to some little extent this was accomplished—but only moman- tarily—that is, with the arrest and deportation of many of its leaders, the “red” movement was staggered for a time.

These orders also directed that the old or- ganization complete, with its purpose of destroying the Government, con- tinue to function, but that its operg- tions be limited strictly to work “un- derground.” Thus, where before operations all had been conducted In the open where Present Day Incomes Call for Strict Economy—One Way to Save Money Is on Your Fuel Bill If you could buy coal for $9.00 a ton you would not pay $1200 a_ton. cyw Regulator effects just such a saving in actual $$$ and ccc.
