To the Hon. John Z. Hoyt. Judge
presiding in the District Court
holding terms at Seattle, May term
\. D, 1856. Unanimous report
United States Grand Jury.
In Investigating the crimes grow
ing out of the expulsion OF the Chi
ncse people from Seattle and Puget
sound, We have had much evidence,
both documentary and oral, before Us
revealing the existence throughout
he country of a reasonable organ
ization. known as the Red American
International Workmen's Assoeia-
ton" Belonging to this organiz2-
ton is body of men calling them
selves Scientific Socialists" on this
coast and in San Francisco. This
as=Ociation, w tn all its branches, is
essentially Anarchial in theory and
practice. The main articles of its
creed are
ARSON, ROBBERY AND MURDER.
It's proclaimed purpose is the over
throw of our Government and the
erection upon its ruins of a so called
SJcialistic Commonwealth. The first
move of this so-called Commonwealth
Is to confscate all property. L e
policy prescribed by this association
/ Is To secure control of all labor Or
carnations, and particularly OF the
Knights of Labor To see to it that
/ the officers of all labor organizations
are chosen from the scientific Social
lists. To employ every means to pro-
duce discomfort among the people,
and to stir up on all occasions and at
all times az much strife and agitation
is possible. More than a year ago
/ the Pacific Coast was selected as the
most favorable ground on which to
start the movement for the subver-
sion of the United States. Last fall
branches of this organization were
established at Seattle. Tacoma, Olym
pia aud other points on Puget Sound,
/ The agitation Of the Chinese question
was to be made at once the preiext
and cover for the reasonable opera
lions Of the band of scientific social
lists. The labor organizations We're,
although unknown to the main body
Of the members. systematically work
ed 10 promote the reasonable objects
and purposes OF the scientific social
ists.
All the disturbances and outrages
on Puget Sound for the last six
months arising nominally from the
agitation of the Chinese question
were really fomented, melted, guided
and produced by this infamous asso-
ciatiGn. The real aims and designs
of this. association have been stud
iously kept from the knowledge of
/ the real workingmen of the labor
organizations.
The scientific socialists, as declared
in their secret and confidential in
structions sent out from their exeeu
tive centre in San Francisco, and
which we have had before us aim to
destroy private ownership in all
! houses, lands, mines, machinery and
all kinds of property. To this end
they announce that when once they
are established in power their first
&C; will be burn all books wherein
the title of private PERSONS to lands
are recorded. The Legislative execu-
tive and Judicial departments of the
Republic are to be supplanted by
Public Functionaries." These
Functionaries are in the name of the
people, to control every affair of life,
to organize and operate all indus
tries. Money is to be abolished and
its place filled by "labor notes" The
merchandise, manufactured articles,
raw materials and machinery now on
hand are to be contiscated and dis
tributed under the direction of the
public functionaries." The print
ing press is to be under like control.
Every affair of life is to be superin-
tended by the government. In brief,
the individual is to be absorbed in
the state, 1t needs no philosopher
to understand that such a system is
but gigantic despotic corporation,
more cruel than the world has ever
yet seen. That to destroy individu-
'ality and merge it in the state is to
crush out honorable aspirations, in
dividual efforts. and will in the end
uproot the home, make man q mere
machine, destroy the civilization of
the nineteenth century, and finally
reduce manhood to savagery. The
