So much has been write n duri1

The movement is local, national and
| national. According TO information flu
| thenticated now in the hands of the CT
| police, not very long ago n committee
was appointed in this city to take into
sderatjon ways end means for revising
revolutionary cause. No one at pr,

was less than three days ago that
names of these six propag rndators n

he has them and unless the police Of th
| government intervencs they will be p
under arrest within possibly twenty,
| hours. They are known as "rhe Invind
| Committee" That is they are supposed
| be unknown to the mass of Anarchists
Chicago, notwithstanding they have
control and direction Of tho movement
the organization. They work with 9th
| Anarchists individually and not as q bod
and hold their identity sacredly secret. Thiy
| plan was adopted because of the failure o.
| troln nrr.a Al iznti tipp r,lo ich rOhk
| Spies and Parsons and the others to the gall
| lows. With this sort of "invisible'' head
work was begun about year ago and pro-
| gresscd very slowly at first; but as soon as
the revoluii0nists fully realized that there
| was dividing fountain head they rallied
around the revolutionary standard and -
ing tho past few months the work of pm
| ing fer the revolution has been going fof-
ward with great activity. Aside from the
majority of ihc thiriy-two organizations af-
| illiatcd with the central labor union the In
visible Committee has been propagating the
revolutionary cause through q number Of
| Anarchistc societies, prominent among
| which is the newly formed "Arbeiter Bund.n "a
| The "Arparson Assembly No. ~ reorgani
Eat on OF expelled knights of Labor, al
sembly No. ,3OT, OF which Parsons was 4
| leading member, the Socialist Publishing
| Society" which owns and controls the AR
better Heitung on the Commuuistio plan, and
| the Working Mems Defense ASSOCIATION"
Which raised money to defend Hronek. Fell
| low Consl traitors are also active in the work
"Eho plan Of campaign, as nearly as il
has been comnrchcndcd by the police, is, so
| far us the public associations and meetings
| are concerned 10 teach Anarchy TO create in
the minds Of Socialists hatred of law and
officers and to inspire spirit of revenge for
the execution Of Spies and his comrades.
Their teachings are carried out by speeches
more or less inCendiary. The movement is
growing holdcr every day. The "Arbeiter
| Bund" is the latest form of revolutionary
agitation, and at its last public meeting,
held on Thanksgiving day, q circular, Qhe
| subst0pcc Of which was given in these dis
| patches last night) was secretly distributed
| among those pres cnt who were supposed to
| be true to the cause. Tho circular purports
10 hos been printed in 1883 at Piusburg,
but that is deception. The original was
issued by the congress Of the international
Working Peoples Association" October 16,
loS3, but these editions were exhausted long
ago. ncw batch have been printed in
close imitation of the old one, and they ore
being distributed in the interests of Anar-
chy;, ...,.,,-,. ---,------~--.,,,;, o,roo,
of less than ten days, but its projectors
have bccA 0t work secretly for some time
and matur,d the plan of propagating anar-
| chy under cover OF the LABOR NOV cement very
much on the plan Of two years ago which
eliminated in tho terrible slaughter at the
Ilaymarkct. Then il was that the reds es-
| pOuSCd the eight hour movement, not be-
| cause they believed in it but because it Was
the sensation Of the day and they were COM
| PEELED 10 fail i'll with il. 1t was arranged
for agcncral strike on May 1st, in the eight
hour cause, and the Anarchists prepared
their bombs ami got ready for inaugurating
the Social resolution on that day. The re-
suit is fresh Ia the minds Of all. History is
rcpcating itScf N this respect. The Ameri-
can Federation Of Trades will hold coll
| Ycntion in 81. Louis this month at which it's
delegates. representing various trades assem-
| blics throughout tho county will endeav vor 10
| fix upon some day in 1890 for another eight
hour strike. The Anarchists appear to have
already forasocr their opportunity and be-
sides don5 III they can TO develop tho
strike into national disorder they will no
| doubt. he rn.l ly with their bombs and other
| machine, 81 obstruction in order to make
another attempt ut setting up the new social
system. This is the generally accepted
plan and it is for the Accomplishment of this
end thai the work of public agitation has
been rCsun d.
The police, however, have quite a Wy
idea They have becn Informed as
some time ng0, that the anarchists will rtna1y
another dc'tguclivc demonstration on \ III
one hundrcdIh anniversary Of the fall of the
b".rlc which occurs in July next, aud tho
authorities are making preparations both
here and in New York to prevent it. How
ever this may De, there is strong ground for
expecting an outbreak on tn c occasion of the
first laLor strike that assumes anything like
national proportions.
"Gcorgo SCh.ling was asked last evening
if he expected another outbreak as the re-
snt of existing revolutionary forces He
said: i expect something of the kind about
the end oi the present century; say in ten
years. Society is just now dormant like q
river frozen IN tho winter time but some
night there viii bo Il mighty crack in the ice
and under the warming influences of the
revolutionary forces here will be mighty
up.hcavimg. There will be no doubt a squall
or two hciorc that time, but the great event
wllroi me, ia my ia Igmcnt, much sooner.
