and uphods the doctrines of socialism, Parsons
claims that the objects and aims of the knights of
Labor and anarchists and socialists are precisely
identical. In support of this statement he quotes
from the principles adopted by the recent conven-
ton and says: "ln addition to the above the order

If these are not the precise objects and aims which
socialism has proclaimed for thirty years. and been
advocated by socialists and anarchists all over the
world. Such being the case, the knights of Labor
is simply another name for sociasts--a fact which
intelligent persons understand fully.
AS to the red flag of the wage workers who
march TO the music OF labor's emancipation, what
ever their nationality or creed, they are repudated
and outlawed by every flag save the red one.
AS to riot and murder, what are the Is? Let
the record OF the international union, which Is an
anarchist organization answer for itself The Hav-
market meeting was protest against the murders
which had been committed at McCormick's the
day before If this looks like murder and riot,
then putus down as such.

toward establishing wrongs.
The district assembly imputes to the anarchists
the responsibility for the Haymalke tragedy, of
May A. They don't seem to comprehend that that
affai like those of East St. Louis, Met Ormick's
factory, Bayview, Milwaukee, and elsewhere, were
the natural outgrowth of class struggle of the
wage system. SO likewise, the spread of the an
archists and the growth of the Knights of Labor
