■ ■ H B i AB !
Arrests in Various Cities Total Several
Hundred.
Hundreds of radicals, including
many described as among the most
dangerous anarchist agitators in the
country, were arrested Friday night
by department of justice agents in
simultaneous raids upon radical head­
quarters in many cities of the United
States. It was learned that 36 war­
rants had been issued by Commission­

for men in New York considered par­
ticularly active in creating unrest, and
it was reported that these men had
been caught.
A nation-wide plot to defy govern­
ment authority openly is said to have
been nipped in the bud upon the eve
of the second anniversary of the es­
tablishment of the Russian soviet gov­
ernment. This plot, it is alleged, had
been advocated for weeks by com­
bined radical elements throughout the
United States, including the I, W. W.,
anarchists and Russian agitators.
Plans for the raids, which took
place in New York, Philadelphia, Chi­
cago, Detroit, St. Louis, San Francis­
co, Newark, N. J.; Jackson, Mich.;
Waterbury and Ansonia, Conn., and
other cities, have been in preparation
