A Reasonable Organization.

The following is the full text of a
report of the Z. S. Grand Jury,
made to the District Court, at the
late May term in Seattle, with refer
ence to the existence of a treasona-
bic organization known as the " Red
Am .rican Industrial Workinsmen' s
Association:
La investigating the crimes grow
Ing out of the expulsion of the chi
nes" people from Seattle aud Puget
Sound, we have had much evidence,
both documentary and oral before
Us, revealing the existence through
out this country of reasonable or

i tioD.' Belonging to this OIganiza-
/ ton is II body OF men, calling theln-
selves d" Scientific Socialists" The
| headquarters of the Scientific Social
ists on this Coast is in San Francisco.
! This association with all its branches
is es, entiallv anarchal in theory and
practice. The main articles of it's
creed are arson, robbery aud murder
lis proclaimed purpose is the over
throw Of our Government, and the
erection upon it's ruins of so-cAlled
Socialistic Commonwealth. The
first move of this so-culled Socialistlc
commonwealth is to confiscate all
property. The policy pursued by
of all labor organizations, and par
ticuiarly the Knights of Labor.
To STE to it that the officers Of all
labor organizations are chosen from
the Scientific Socialists: to employ
every means 10 produce discomfort
among the people. and to stir up on
all occasions and at all times, as
much strife aud agitation as possible.

RACES on Puget Sound for the past
six months, arising nominally from
the agitation of the Chinese question,
were really formented, incite1,
guided and produced by this infa-
nous association. The real aims and
designs of this association have been
studiously kept from the knowledge
of the real workingmen of the labor
organizations.
The Scientific Socialists, as de
clared in their secret and confiden-
tia instructions sent out from their
executive center in San Francisco,
and which we have had before us,
aim to destroy private ownership III
houses, lands, mines, machinery
and all kinds Of property. To this
end they announce that when once
they are established in power, theil
first act will be to burn all books
wherein the title of private persons
to lands are recorded.
The Legislative, Executive and
Judicial Departments of the Govern.
ment are to be supplanted by " Pub.
Tic FunctionarieS. These function.
ares are, in the name of the people
to control every affair of life, to or
eanize and operate all industries
money is to be abolished and its
place filled by labor notes" The
merchandise, manufac ured articles
raw material and machinery now on
hand are to be contiscated and dis
tubuted under the 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 alb.
sorbed into the State. 1t needs nc
philosopher to understand that such
! u system is but gigantic despotic
corporation, more cruel than the
world has ever yet seen. That to
destroy individuality and merge it
IN the State, is to crush out honor
