Records in the Department of Jus- tice, in the files of the large employ- ers of the country, and in the secret archives of the American Federation of Labor, prove the existence of a Nation-wide movement of growing “proportions. THE TWO MENACING REVOLU- TIONARY BODIES IN U. 8. There are two major offensives un- der way in the United States reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific and frem the Gulf of Mexico up to and beyond the Canadian border, Both have the same common purpose—the overthrow of government by indus- trial revolution. of the All-Russian Societies. The I. W. W. is working through the labor unions of tho country; and by working to cause secessicn (rom the American Federation of Labor has grasped full control of more than 2,000,000 men and women, whose lead ership has been warped from cons¢ vative direction to domination by men who insist that nothing short of direct revolutionary action shall govern them. Soviet activity is through the medium of Workingmen's Councils. ‘FORMIDABLE ORGANIZATION OF THE |. W. W. HEREABOUT. The I. W.

It is operated by an Executive Committee elected by “The Second All Colony Convention” held at Manhattan Ly- cecum Jan, 4 to 10 inclusive, last. The Executive Committee, which controls | the movement all over the United States, is composed of Brailovsky, Mian, Osis, Atamanovsky, Sanshur, Karneyev, Zubovich, Ushanov, Micha- loy, Protasov, Bianki, Vlasov, Adamo- vich, Zechanovich, Lansing, Soherin, Mikulich and Oduoposov Brailovsky was Chairman of the con- vention. He is the editor of Worker and Peasant, published in the Russian language, but no one seems to know exactly where it is published, ‘The owner maintains an office that is al- most bare of furniture at “The Peo- ple’s House,” at No. 133 East 15th | Street. There were present at this conven- |tion 123 delegates, who, according to the official records of the convention, represented 33,975 members in the various Soviets, The Non-partisans were given 60 seats, the Union of Rus- sian Workers, 49 seats; the Socialists 9 seats and the Anarchists 3 seats, Five “Members of the Presidium” were elected: Schnabel, who was un- der Federal indictment in Pittsburgh and New York; Berezin, Korneeff, Scherin and Schturman, Three secretaries elected were Ata- manovsky, Sergeenko and Odnonozoff, As showing the nature of the pro- ceedings of the convention, the fol- lowing is reproduced from a protest |\by “Comrade Bianki"; ‘in the name of the Union of Rus- |sian Workers and Anarchists, I find |it necessary to state that we withhold our yote on the question of recogni- tion of the Soviet Government for the reason that we do not recognize any UNION SUITS GOT A \ATCH? Reprinted by pe form of government and state, Where begins government, there stops revo- lution, and where revolution goes on there is no room for government. But recognizing the Bolsheviki is to be undoubtedly the most revolutionary Part of the Russian Social Democ- racy, leading the way to the social revolution, we support them in their struggle against the counter-revolu- tionaries, Bolsheviki, with their ten- dency towanl communism, find it Necessary to seize the Government authority, but we find it possible to establish non-state communism only through the social revolution.” ‘This protest was vociferously ap- plauded by the delegates to the con- vention, as was every other concrete revolutionary suggestion, a complete record of which is now in the custody of The Evening World. REVOLUTIONISTS RUNNING FOUL OF LAW CARED FOR. Both the I. W. W. and the Soviet program calls for personal service to members who run foul of the law. Provision is made by each organiza- tion to recruit members. Each pro- vides for the publication and circula- tion of literature, and in the lL. W. W. organization public reading rooms are maintained, Through contributions on direct ap- peals for specific purposes each or- ganization is prepared to give almos any amount of bail whenever a mem- ber is arrested for a violation of the laws. Funds are collected for the re- lief of their families and, if they are sent to prison, funds are sent them there that they may buy such luxu- ries as are not on the prison supply lst. How thorough and complete this “social service’ is may be gathered from recalling that all the time I, W. W. members were in Leavenworth Prison serving Federal sentences their families were cared for and money sent each prisoner, Just before the time came for re- lease of Emma Goldman from Leaven- worth and Alexander Berkman from Atlanta it became known that the Government intended to deport them. Over night there was callected and sent direct to Washington Liberty bonds worth $30,000 as security that each of the prisoners would appear at Ellis Island to attend the deporta- tion hearing. Lawyers were obtained and the Government set the date for the hearing. All the machinery seemed oiled up for a speedy exit of the two ex-convicts when from Washington came the official mes- gage that their cases had been “in- definitely postponed.” None ex- plained why. Every active radical knows and keeps quiet about it. Their organiza- tion was powerful enough to reach clear into Washington with the best legal talent obtainable and stay the programme of the Government to be rid for once and all of two revolu: tionary agitators who taught violence in secret and sent hundreds to death and prison while they roamed free to teach others the dangerous principles rmission from tne New York Tribune of to-day.

HOW THE I. W. W. HAS BECOME A NATIONAL MENACE. While both organizations are ac- tively at work, the I, W. W., because powerful than the more recent Soviet movement, which started in Balt\- more, Md., about eighteen months ago. Right now the LW. W. boasts— and seemingly with just cause—that it controls more than 30 per cent. of all organized labor in the country; that it has wrested this control away from the American Labor by individuals becoming mem- bers of the various occupational unions, and by sheer force of num- bers electing such officers ag cause the organizations to break away from conservative leadership and obey the will of revolutionists. There are instances of where the plan has been modified to gain mem- bership in the city and State federa- tions of organized labor, and through these bodies official seats in the American Federation of Labor con- ventions and election to executive positions within that organization, where the long tentacles of the 1, W.
