Thirty nine were indicted, but not all will appear in court, for seyeral are re- vorted to have fled to Mexico and Eur- ope. One, John Reed, magazine writer, author and first Bolshvik® envoy to the United States, is now in jail at Abo, Finland, according to state department reports, accused of smuggling from Bol- shevik Russia. The thirty nine defendants, with three women, have also been indicted separate- ly under the Tilinois law against criminal syndicalism. Their arrests resulted from the nationwide roundup of suspected of the Communit party and 37 Industrial radicals last January. At the same time 86 allegzed members Workers of the World also were indicted and they with the three women who were declared to he Communist Labor- ites, are awaiting trial later. Next to John Reed the most promin- ent of those slated to go on trial tomor- row is William Bross Lioyd, millionaire sergeant-at-arms of the Communist La- hor party. Lloyd, like Reed, a graduate of Harvard Universit: is the son of the late Henry D.

The cost to shipping companies and merchants, it is said, has aggre- sated thousarids of pounds sterling an- nually. “The pilfering has taken place prior to shipmeni from the. points of origin, during tfansmission and after ar- rival at destinations. At Sydney 15,000 pounds sterling worth of goods . have been stolen since Christmas time and other ports have suffered in a similar manner. As an indication of the extent to which the thieves are carrying out their work it may be mentioned that a piano shipped from London was taken from the shipping case and the case filled with bricks. Other cases, supposedly containing costumes of silk goods, ar- rived at’the’r destinatioh stuffed with newspapers, while boxes of merchandise from New York were found to be filled with shavings. Owing to the finesse of the thieves in extracting cases and resealing ‘them, says the correspondent, it is almost im. possible to .detect those that have been tampered with. The correspondent as- serts that an American sea captain re- marked when the situation was brought to his atention that he was pleased to bring his vessel into port with his fun- nels intact.
