RED AMERICANI INTERNATIONAL
WORKINGMEN'S ASSOCIATION.
Its Avowed Purpose the Overthrow
OF the United States Government,

Tue United States grand jury has found
indictments against ten leaders OF the recent
anti-Chinese riots in SEATTLE, Washington
Territory. The jury's report was an extra
ordinary document 1t alleges that evil
dence has been laid before the grand jury suf,
hclent to convince them that there exists
throughout the country treasonable or.
ganlzation known as the Rod Amerc IN In
ternational Workingmsn's Association This
organization is described at great length.
Among other things the report says
This association, with all its branches is
essentially anarchial in theory and practice.
Inc main articles of its creed are arson, rob.
oery AMI murder. Its proclaimed purpose is
tpe overthrow Of our Government and cree.
tlon on its ruins of SO called sociaIistic COM
monwealth. The policy pursued by this
association is to secure control Of all labor
organlz atoms, and particularly of the knights
OF Labor; to see to it that the officers of all
labor organizations are chosen from Scientific
SOCIALISTS; to employ every means to produce
discontent among the people, and to stir up
on all occasions and at all times as much
strife and egita:ion as possible.
Moro than year ago the Pacific coast

ELK months, arising nominally from the agi,
tation OF the Chinese question, were really
tomeated, melted. guided and produced by
Wills Infamous ASSOCIATION, whose real aims

the means of practically applying dynamite;
now to sezs armories and military stores:
now to prevent the departure of troops from
centers of instructions; how to imprison and
destroy men Of property and influence. To
accomplish this end this association instructs
us members to be particularly active in labor
organizations.
This rednhanded body of assassirls has
'ettled upon our portion of the Union as tn,
hrst point OF attack. They say In their secret
crcu'ars:-'The Pacific cost particularly, by
reason OF its peculiar population, its natura,
wealth. its position, is such that few deter
mined men could isolate it from the balance
