Herr Joseph Frick, the acknowledged
leaderof Western Pennsylvania Anarchists,
has returned from Westmoreland county,
where be spent some time among the work.
ingmen of that section organizing branches
of his revolutionary order. Herr Frick
also spent a.considerable part of the late
summer in Beaver county at the same use
full employment. Judging from his good
humor last evening, the Anarchist chief
was eminently successful in both missions.
At any rate, the fact that anarchism in
Western Pennsylvania is not dead, but isstill
living, constant menace to peaceful state
of society, was developed in an interview
granted a DISPATCH reporter by the
benevolent looking German, who declares
he is an Anarchist.
No sooner had the reporter stated his mis-
sion than Herr Frick produced q card as
blood-red in color as the flag that he and his
associates all over the country have been
Haunting in the faces of peaceably inclined
citizens The card was ticket for the "sec-
ond grand memorial celebration of the exc
cution of the Chicago labor leaders,.
THE -FOUR TABLEAUx.
The celebration is to be held at Lafayette
Hall, Saturday evening, November 8, and
the programme includes, beside the opening
address in English and German, music,
singing, recitations, and last; but by no
means least four tableaux representing the
mast. present, the social revolution and the
future. These tableaux will no doubt add
considerable to the enjoyment of the An
archists who are expected to be in attend
ance, but whether or not they will be in
telligible and pleasing to others who may
be spectators, but who have not imbibed the
Anarchists peculiar doctrines, is question.
On the reporters asking if there were any
organizations of Anarchists in Pittsburg or
Allegheny, Herr Frick replied:
Certainly. What do you think have
been doing all the time? There are, in both
cities, a number of organizations which pro-
fess Anarchistie doctrines of the most pro-
pounced type. These organizations are all
branches of a main or central organization,
and the members of them are but awaiting
the signal to strike telling blow for their
principles"
NOT READY FOR ACTION.
''when is this signal to be given?" asked
the reporter.
''I do not know. We must wait until the
time comes Circumstances can do more
Just now than we can. You must wait un-
til the fruit is ripe before you pluck it. But
the time will come, never fear; and when it
does, you will find the Anarchists in a
united body, ready to use all the forces at
their command to procure the rights and
equality of man"
'Whst is your method of organizing
brsnches?"
81 have no method. need none. Every
man that becomes a member at the same
time becomes an agent for the spread of our
doctrines. We are strong; let the govern
ing powers and the capitalists bewarel"
''Do you not think it wrong to shed blood
to gain your ends?"
BLOOD STAINED MONEY.
''No. Why should L? Is not every dollar
of the capitalists money stained with the
blood of the poor working man? I am
willing to shed blood, if necessary, but
am an old man, and do not expect to live
much longer. Someone else will rise TO take
nv place, and in time the capitalists and
rulers of the people will be overthrown. /,
an Anarchist, and proud of it, may die;
but Anarchism will not die until its object is
obtained"
Herr Frick, will you tell me the names
under which the various branch societies
are known"
mo; 1 cannot. You see, the name of a
society GOES not amount 70 uucDs II Is the
work that counts. These branches are
known under various names-as reform So
cieties, Mutual German Bunds, and Others
No; none of them are known as singing
societies or Vereins. The members of the
Vereins sing and drink; we work"
During the whole interview Herr Frick
was in a most excellent humor, emphasiz-
ing his remarks with comprehensive waves

enjoyed talking of his bloody doctrines and
