THE MOItNIXCr OKEfJOXIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 190 SOV ETG0UR1ERS SENT TO AMERICA Firebrand of Revolution Asks - Aid From U. S. Reds. RUSSIAN REVOLT WEAKENS Communist Labor Party Urged to Unite In Armed Insurrection and Overthrow Government. (Copyriuht. tn-JO, by the New Tork vjTorld. Published by Arrangement.) fG. S. Zinovleff, president of the exec utive committee of the third Internationale, is also the virtual dictator of Petrograd. On February 2A the "World printed an In terview with him by Lincoln Byre, lta spe cial correspondent sent to Russia, whose articles are now appearing in this news paper. Mr. Eyre describes Zinovieff as .the firebrand of the revolution.") RIGA. March 26. (Special Cable.) From documents taken from a so viet agent capturea by Lettish troops it is evident that the structure of Russian communism is unsteady and will fall unless strengthened by the economic and moral effect of a simi lar revolution elsewhere. The choice of the executive committee of the communist Internationale is the United States, as is evidenced by a mandate signed "Zinovieff" and ad dressed to the American communist labor party, callinfr upon them to unite in armed insurrection to over throw the government. An admission of weakness is made in a letter to I. W. W. members in these definite words: "Unless the workers of ether coun tries rise in revolt the .Russian revo lution cannot last." The bolshevlst carrying: the mes sage is believed to be one of many sent from Moscow after the com munist conference there with mes sages to the communists of the United States. He had awaited an oppor tunity to pass througrh the lines, but was carefully examined by the Let tish military authorities, despite his Austrian passport. The papers were discovered in the false bottom of his box. and there were diamonds in the hec! of his boots. After military trial he was executed. which has been dormant for more than a week, awaiting the reply of the school board to the proposal to arbitrate, threatens to break out violently again, now that the board has given its formal reply in which it stands pat on its position. A call for a mass meeting at the Page theater next Monday night has been issued by Judge William M. Colvie. A. C. Allen. Georpe A. Mars field and the parent-teacher eounett. The call -urges all taxpayers and voters to attend and speak their minds. "We feel that some decisive action should be taken." say the signers who represent tbe opponents to the school board and Superintendent Davenport, "and that we are being unjustly treated by the school board." LUMBER BUSINESS BRISK DEMAND CONTINUES STRONG, SAY, WESTERN MI LIMEN. Party Break Deplored. The mandate to the communist parties was typewritten closely in English on both sides of pieces of cotton cloth or foolscap size. The letter to the I. W. W. was printed on small sheets of tissue paper. I was in possession of both for 21 hours. They were written in' the usual anarchist-communist phraseology, but were nevertheless clear about the violent intentions and oesires of their authors. Commencint with the usual "Dear Comrades," the mandate re fers to the reports of members from America who attended the Moscow conference. It states that the split between the American communist and American labor parties "rendered a heavy blow to the communist move ment in America." and says that "it leads to dispersion of the revolution." "The concentratiion of American bourgeois forces," the mandate adds, "has increased to an unprecedented extent and the struggle demands un precedented sacrifices." Later it says: "The split is not caused by any pro found differences of opinion as re gards the programme. At bottom are but certain disagreements as to ques tions of tactics, principally questions of organization. Under such circum stances the 6plit has not the slightest justification and should be liquidated at all costs. "Insofar as both parties stand on the platform of the communist Inter nationale and of-this we have not the slightest doubt a united party is not only possible, but absolutely nec essary, and the executive committee insists on this being immediately brought about." On a separate piece of cloth was Iho agreement for the unification of the communist parties, to be known fa the united communist party of America, in which insistence upon the supreme power of the central commit tee is the chief point of interest. The letter to the I. W. W. is most friendly and appreciative, and even more outspoken. Zinovieff, president of the central committee, addressing his "comrades and fellow-workers," says the world war has given the op portunity for the revolution already begun by Russia to be realized. He insists that if the opportunity is seized the world will belong to the workers, and there may not be an other chance for generations. He declares the bolshevist revolu tion has taken everything from the hands of the owners and transferred the property to the working class, al though all trustworthy reports from Russia indicate that the workers are dominated by commissaries to whom the workers are not unlike serfs. He urges a. commonwealth without a state for an America without a gov ernment and without classes. His letter is addressed to the I. W. W. "in recognition of your long, heroic serv ice, on account of which I now call upon you to take the place which your revolutionary experience entitles you to in the front ranks of the red army." Deportations Scored. He refers passionately to the depor tation and Imprisonment of bolshe- visis, to anti-strike legislation, to "red flag laws." and laws against propaganda advocating the forcible overthrow of the government and de struction of property. One comprehends the cause of his urgent appeal on reading that bol shevist Russia cannot endure unless there are revolutions elsewhere. He then admits that the Hungarian so viet government has been destroyed and the communists' task is not easy. It requires force. He says the state must be overthrown in America and abolished. In conclusion he says: "The imme diate work of the I. W. W. as the most important organization based on rev olutionary industrial unionism in America is to take the initiative in trying to establish a base for uniting all unions which have a revolutionary cnaracter and an which are sympa thetic into one big union. This is no time to quibble about a name or minor questions. The essential thing la to draw together all ' capable of mass actlori. "At this time of crisis the commun ists' Internationale holds out to the It W. W. the hand of brotherhood." The tree state of Letvia is respon sible for the capture of the bolshe vist agent carrying these papers to the United States. It has suffered far more than Russia from bolshevism and Is doggedly determined to keen ny suspects out of the country. Railroads Are Making Heavy Pup chases Cut for Week but Little Below Normal.
