ALL DIRECTED BY ONE GROUP Opposition to Draft Law, Burning of Crops and Forests, Scattering Literature Part of Scheme. Washington, Spt. 7. Reports and disclosures made to officials here in connection with the seizure Wed nesday of I. W. W. documents throughout the country indicate, il was said today, that there has ex isted for some time a nation wide conspiracy to hamper the govern ment in almost every conceivable way in carrying on the war. Opposition to the draft law, burn ing of crops, some of the so-called labor disturbances and nttempls : curtail production in war industres. reports indicate, were all part of th t same alleged conspiracy whose prime motive was thought to be the crip pling of the government's activities in every way possible short of inter frence with military and naval op erations. The investigation begun by the federal grand jury in Chicago in con nection with Wednesday's raids on I. W. W. offices throughout the country will go into all phases of the alleged conspiracy. Officials to day said that it probably will be the most comprehensive investiga tion undertaken on behalf of the government since this country's en try into the war Tons Of Evidence. Tens of thousands of letters, checks and other documents in the possession of federal authorities will be placed before the grand jury at Chicago or other grand juries which later may investigate ramifications of the alleged conspiracy. It was intimated today that the government's theory is that the al leged conspiracy was entered into in Chicago, although its operations OMKLMMB $4 Known To The Nation At The Sensible Six $945 F. O. B. FACTORY. Possesses important feature of design which are found also in those higher priced cars as embodying the very latest and best engineering practices. These superior features, which for two years have distinguished the Oakland Six as a car of unusually advanced design, and which are now employed in the latest models of many of the more costly cars, not to be found in their entiret3 in any of the other cars in the Oakland price-class. As a result, the Oakland Sensible Six, in the estimation of the buying public, is raised above the plane of its price, and naturally is compared to and competes with cars of. considerable higher price than its own. la mi Arte (G PLATTSMOUTH OFFICERS WILLIAM SCHNEIDER, President. W. II. LOHNES, Vice-President. THOMAS E. PARMELE. Director. extended to virtually every section of the United States. In the light of reports made re cently to officials here, the numerous instances of opposition at widely scattered points to the draft law were part of the general alleged con spiracy and were prompted by vir tually the same set of men in al most every instance. Burning of wheat fields and at tempts to burn spruce forests in the Pacific northwest, it was thought, were but another phase of the al leged general conspiracy directed by the controlling heads. Dozens of spiradic attempts to cripple war in dustries by strikes and acts of vio lence are regarded as a third phase of the general alleged conspiracy. Publication of articles designed to create anti-war sentiment or anti ally sentiment, were a fourth phase it is thought of the same general movement. One Executive Group. Indications point, it was said, to a group of men considerable in number, who constituting what might be termed the executive force of the alleged conspiracy, directed all its activities through a large num ber of lieutenants. Department of justice officials said today that the investigation prob ably would be prolonged. United States attorney Cline is to be assist ed by Frank C. Dailey of Indianap olis and Frank K. Xebeker of Salt Lake City, and the entire investiga tion .will be conducted under the personal supervision of William Fitts, assistant attorney general under whose direction the seizure of I. W. W. documents was made. Mr. Fitts will make daily reports to Attorney General Gregory. Where the money come from to finance the manifold activities of the movement under investigation, is a subject into which the grand jury will delve deeply. Many evidences, it is said, point to a German fund from which money was lavishly supplied for work of the alleged con spirators. Heretofore the connection between German funds and activi ties of persons apparently hostile to the government had not been es tablished. United States attorneys in many sections of the country were today making a minute study of the docu ments taken in the recent raid. Mr. Fitts declined today to comment on the federal activities in connection with the I. W. W. raids, further than to say that reports from all sections were "very satisfying." 9ipny NEBRASKA
