es, IS essentially anarchal in theory and
practice. The main articles Of the creed
are arson. robbery and murder. Its pro-
claimed purpose is the overthrow Of our
government and the erection upon its ru-

socialistic commonwealth is to confiscate
all property, and the policy pursued BY
this association IL to secure control Of all
labor organizations, and particularly the
knights Of Labor" to see to it that Off
GERS OF all labor organizations are chosen
from the Scientific Socialists, to employ
every means to produce discomfort among
the people, and to stir up on all occasions
and at all times as much strife ana ayita-
