President Wilson's mectim; witli the Cnbinet y, the first in almost eight months, did his health good, according to Dr. Grayson, Meeting people was what the President needed, Dr. Grayson added. Cabinet meetings are to be held regularly from this time forward, it was understood. In all probability the President will see callers with important business to transact, although no appoint- ments have been made. Mr. Wilson wore a gray busi- ness suit at the Cabinet session. He seemed in good spirits and joked with the members. The meeting was held in the Whitfl House and not in the Executive offices, as is the custom.

Sixty-eig- hunger striking prisoners in the Mountjoy prison have been released apparently unconditionally, and as a result the general strike Is considered off. Earlier in the afternoon it was of- ficially announced that it was not in tended to release all the huncer strikers in i Mountjoy prison uncondi- - tionally. but that an order had ben issued that those requiring medical j treatment outside the prison would be released on parole for periods to be specmea in me case o: eacn individual by the prison doctir. After only four of the prisoners had been removed from prison the Govern- ment Interposed conditions pertaining to the reincarceration of the hunger strik- ers after hospital treatment. The prisoners refused to accept tl e new terms, and it appeared there would . be a refusal of further departure from the prison by the hunger strikers, The Lord Mayor went to see Iiord French at the Vicereeal Lodee with re- - card to the stipulation that the prison- - ers must return to their captivity on their recovery. He stated on his return that the prisoners would be released un conditionally. The prisoners had re- futed to accept the stipulation on the ground that It was a reapplicatlon of the \cat and mouse\ policy. As the eighty-nin- e hunger strikers had been starving themselves for ten days thu form of the final official an- nouncement that tho.e requiring medi- cal treatment outside of tho prison would be released was taken to mean that all of them would bo released and that this would bo a way for covering tho Government's retreat from Its for- - in-- , ijvuiiiu.i.

A great uprls- - ; Ing has been plotted for .May I. which has been called Coininunist Saturday. Months ago, just after tho collapse of tho steel strike. AVililam 7.. Foster, Carl Plerson, A. E. Reese and others of his associates of the revolutionary parties, engaged In the endeavor to promote tho present strike. They were the real instigators of the move- ment. Foster has been \boring from within\ to destroy organized labor ns represented by the American Federa- tion of Labor. The I. W. W., the Communist party, the One Big Union and other radical organizations com- bined to make it a go. Tho Depart- ment of Justice has letters nnd other data to show the connection and to establish that propaganda for tho revolution was connected closely with Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, Soviet Am- bassador, and with tho attorney for hundreds If not thousands of thos arrested on deportation warrants as members of the Communist party. It Is Clearly Indicated that tho revolu- tion Is aimed primarily at the Ameri- can Federation of Lalmr and Its lead- ers. Overthrow of both is regarded as a necessary first step. It was indicated that \othfr action\ will follow the making public of data as to the origin anil purpose of tha striko by the Department of Justice. It Is not likely, however, that arrests will be made until the men on strike hav had opportunity of acquainting them- selves with what the strike meanr. Chnnce to Get From t'nder. Publication of the official Government data Is expected to furnish nn easy ve- hicle for separating the rheep from th goats among the men who iiult tholr jobs. Those who return upon knowing the facts will cease to support the move- ment; those ho do not hto prima facIV guilty of lending support to a revolu- tionary movement aimed, at the over- throw not only of America 1 Institution) but also of all the forces of government ami of law and order. In making public the story ot the out- law strike and a rcore or more of docu- ments dug up by secret agents of tha Government Mr. V.i'm: sV ': 'I feel that It Is highly Important that not only tie- - -- ountry ,v . strikers.' themselves underMtarid what Is ue.'trnu this movement, what motives actuated It nnd what it may lead to. I believe It is essential that the men should under- stand what unknnu Ingly and unwitting- ly they aro being led Into by the powers that be behind this strike. \It Is the litest and largest manifes- tation of the working out of the pro- gramme of the International Commun- ist party with tho purpose of capturing. Industry nnd government, establishing a dictatorship tn this country and trans- porting hero the chaos ot Rusiia.\ Tho Attorney-Gener- then presented nn extract from the manifesto of tha Communist patty of America as fol- lows : \The Communist party must enyaga actively In the struggle to revolutionize the trado unions.
