Washington January 4 federal agents rounded up Communist and Communist Labor party members amid a nationwide sweep. Officials said the plan was to escalate steel and coal unrest into a general strike and ultimately overthrow the government. The raids disclosed a slush fund in the millions to bail out agitators and to finance violence. Two groups acted under Russian Communist Council direction with aims to seize state power, while deportation laws were found weak and bail could free many detained aliens. Total arrests neared 4,500 with 2,635 aliens held for possible deportation.
