Johns and Joseph Knight and details two competing Bolshevist plans: direct action within labor and a political push for government control using nonworkers. It cites 2,500 trained agitators and notes the New York headquarters. censorship, espionage acts, and the broader alliance with groups such as the Non-Partisan League are examined while stressing the movement's growth among diverse social strata.
