munist labor parties would be be

New York's Big "Bag."
New York. Tan. 2. Between 700
and 800 radicals were arrested to
night in (ireaXcr New York- as the
city's share in the nationwide round
ur of sedition mongers and anarch
ist carried out by the federal gov
ernnrent on a gigantic scale. From
9 until long after midnight an army
of federal agents, reinforced by hun
dreds df city policemen and soldiers,
raided the gathering places of men
who have returned (he hospitality of
their adopted country by plotting to
destroy its government and institu
tions with violence.
At the very hour that the raids
were ordered the men against whom
they were directed were gathering in
scores of meeting places throughout
the greater city.
No less than 17 such places were
raided, each yielding a grist of from
20 to SO fomenters of revolution and
anarchy, in one th number running
as high as 150. There was no talk
or show of violence when the agents
of the government entered the va
rious halls and rooms.
Few Americans Caught ' .
Few native Americans were
among those taken into custody, the
' most notable exception being a New
York city official who gave his name
as Julius Codkind, a Brooklyn tax
collector and who, according to the
federal agents, boasted of his revolu
tionary opinions and predicted that
a commune would be established in
the United States within five years.
t The great majority of those arrested
were Russians or persons of Rus
sian birth and almost all were work
ing men of scanty education and less
knowledge of the English language.
Codkind and such other of the pris
oners who were American born were
turned over to the police to be dealt
with by the laws of their own coun-
tr.
Virtually all of the places raided
were headquarters of the commun
ist society, an organization which
boasts of tiie leadership of Nicholas
T.c.nine and Icon Trotzky and open
ly proclaims its aim as the establish
ment of a reign of terror and the an
nihilation of all existing authority.
The most active spirits in this sins
ter organization are now on their
way back to soviet Russia on the
transport Buford with the notorious
anarchists, Emma Goldman and
Alexander Brrkman. By a coinci
dence a wireless-message was re
ceived from the Buford, contingent
today, which read"
Many Women Taken.
"Good -wishes to our comra.lcs in
.'.merica from the exiled corntades'
on t'le high s;as."
Almost a hundred women were in
cluded in tonight's prisoners, rang
ing in age from irls of 17 tr grand
1 Mothers. The majority of the women
were released after a brief examina
tion, but about a dozen were b
tainecl for further, examination.
Scores of barges were moored
;ilong the New, Jersey shores oppo
site this city tonight to transport to
Ellis Island the radicals rounded up
bv federal agents in the northern
New Jersey districts. The prisonets
v ill be placed aboard . the barges in
tHe morning and transported to the
island.
Haywood Not Found.
Chicago, Jan. 2. Raids tonight,
directed by the United States De
partment of Justice, in which ap
proximately 200 radicals were taken
" in addition to the 250 arrested yes
terday and today by local authori
ties, brought the total number of
agitators up to 4S0. ,
At the Russian soviet school, raid
ed yesterday by the county prose
cutor, 55 arrests were made tonight.
One hundred policemen, 65 federal
agents and 30 United States deputy
marshals participated in the raids.
The government's activities were
directed against specific persons
rather than places. Hundreds of
warrants for individuals had been is
sued and each bore a number. The
raiders in numerous squads sought
the individuals wanted, usually at
their ho'mes.
A sp&eial grand jury to hear the
cases of radicals arrested yesterday
was ordered impanelled Monday.
Less than a dozen were arraigned in
court on charges of conspiracy to
violate the Illinois law against crim
inal syndicalism.
Several of the men were held in
$10,000 bonds, which they protested
was too high. A prosecutor sug
gested that their defense committee
would go to their aid. "The defense
