Ul’LLKTIN— WASHINGTON.
March 12— The Department of Jus •
ice announced this afternoon that evi
dence had been found of a country
wide radical propoganda urging the
overthrow of the American govern
ment and the establishment of a Bol
shevism government.
Secret service agents have seized
letters of prominent leaders of the In
dustrial Workers of the Morld an.1
these show that strikes are supposed
to be the starter for the Bolshevik ism
One leader wrote to another that “ev
ery strike is hut a small revolution, a
dres* rehearsal for the bid thing.”
i'hc Department of Justice officials
i!a.m that the Socialists, radical 1. W.
\\. have found a common cause in Bol
shevism and further evidence has been
obtained that a bloody revolution in
the I nitcd States was planned.
Sensational developments arc soon
expected.
Those in ?e ard who have been fol
low* n:r the causes of the various strik
es at S< attle, especially the sympath -
tic trike follov in*? the v alk-out of the
workers in the shipyards at the Pugot
Sound City, will remember that Mayor
i Hanson wrote a letter to the Depart
ment of Justice at Washington D. C.,
stating that Bolshevikism was at the
bottom of the Seattle trouble.
Mayor Hanson stated that the Seat
tle authorities had possession of cer
tain facts that the I. W. W.. had plan
ned to make the Seattle strike the
starter for trouble throughout the
Un'ted States and that if the Seattle
strike was a success others on a great
er scale would follow in many of the j
principal cities. Mayor Hanson ho v- 1
ever stated that that was the reas >n I
why the Seattle authorities refused lo
treat with the leaders • of the strike.
I knowing their l. W. W. tendencies a id
also issuing a warning that “any at
tempt to seize the government offices
would result in martial law being « e
clared and Federal tioops placed in
chaigc of the city.”
Subsequent events 'proved that May
or Hanson had the right informal'm
and this was used by prominent bn. i
ness men of Seattle, also the newsp. *»
ers, with the exception of the Labor
Union, a daily newspaper, in pointing
out to the strikers the real causes be
hind the stiike to which they had lo*ir
such material aid. Readers of tb *
Gateway will remember how first on?
union then another broke away from
1 ho sympathetic strike ami returned
to work, the strike leaders ultimately
acknowledging defeat and the calling
oft’ of the sympathetic strike.
For the past three months various
organizations in all cities in the Unit
ed States and territories, working in
conjunction with secret service men.
and U. S. Marshal's offices, have been
ferreting out the I. W. W.— Bolsne
viki sympathizers, and thousands o'
arrets have b on the result. Several
weeks ago, a train load of I. W. \V.
loaders from the Pacific coast were (
taken to Chicago, where others join- !
ed them, by government official’s re
| quest and under heavy guard those
arrested were taken to the Atlantic
coast for deportation.
At present there are secret service
mrn in every Alaska city and it is
known that certain pro-Germans and
I. \V. W. have been quietly told to
leave the territory and they have done
so, being guarded to Seattle then turn
ed over to other authorities.
The announcement today in the
above Associated Press dispatch
shows that the government is right on
the job and is keeping a closer watch
of Socialists and I. W. W. members
than is supposed.

LEFTS LEFT IN &
NORWAY VOTING
HKISTIAMA, Mar.. 12— (Corre
. ndence of The Associated Press)— ;
party of the Lefts headed by the 1
‘remier, Gunnar Knudson, lost ii>
eats in Parliament in the election r*'
er.Iy held. Instead of 80 seats which
t controlled during the last session o ’
he Storthing, the party now contiol »
>5 seats. Opposition is divided between
.he Rights which have increased their
nemb'rship from 24 to 53 and the So
ialists who have 18 seats instead of
9 as in the previous Parliament. Tiie
Cnadsen party , or lefts, still is the
trongest division in the storthing but
'.ow has considerable less than a mv
ority of its 126 members. It is expect
'd that this will involve the rooon
truction of the Cabinet.
The most conspicuous event in the |
lection was the defeat of the speako’
>f Parliament, J. L. Mowinekel. of
Bergen, v. ho was regarded as po’itn
illy one of the strongest men in the
louse and one of the most staunch
up porters of the Cabinet.
The failure of the Socialists to in J
rea- e the number of their vote
** rorghout the country was a surpris
• this party had profited by recer ]
angos in the suffrage law. The pa
gaining only 3.000 votes while t’
g'.ts rained 63,000. This is ascrib
the Socialist program to exoiuc
* teaching of religion from schoou
* upport prohibit;on and to refo i
iety along the lines of the Rustic
lsheviki.
Vlthough Norwegian women ha
d the suffrage for more than 1
r.. s, no woman ever has been elec*
’ member of Parliament. One womr
as nominated for that office in t1
• f election but received only 1*
tes. A small fraction of self-sir
vting women have formed an elec*
