BoLsHEvIST MISCHIEF HERE.
Preparing a Proletariat Revolution TO
America.

Efforts first to undermine and eyentu-
ally to overthrow the United States gov
eminent are being planned and active
propaganda work is being carried on
here in furtherance of the scheme, by an
organization directly connected with
Russia. Following is copy in part, of
the constitution of the Russian Workers
union, revealed by Washington official
Present society is divided into oppo-
site classes, on one side the workers and
farmers, submerged in poverty but who
have created by their own labor all the
riches of the world; on the other side the
rich, who have confscated all these riches.
MANY times the class of the desDoiled
has risen against the parasitic rich and
their faithful servant and defender
governmental order to arrive at its
liberation from the yoke of the capital
lists and government, but every time it
has suffered defeat because of not having
a clear conception of its final object and
resources through which it could be ac-
complished.
"The struggle between these classes is
not finished at the present time, and will
end only when the laboring masses or
gained as class will understand their
true interests and will come into pos
session of the riches of the world through
forceful social revolution.
Having accomplished such change and
at the same time having destroyed all
the institutions of sovereignty and gov
eminent, the class of the despoiled shall
proclaim The Society of the Liberal
Funetionaries, endeayoring to satisfy the
needs of every separate individual, who
in return would give the society his la
Dor, talents, and accomplishments TOR
achieyementsl
I'm order to obtain these conditions we
set forth as the first plan the necessity
Of creating a revolutionary organiza ton
OF the class of workers which, carrying
| the immediate struggle against all insti-
buttons OF capital and government, must
educate the working class to take the
initiative and exercise the power them
rebellionl, developing, therefore, the
sense, the necessity, and ineyitableness
OF a general uprising social revolution.
Therefore organizing ourselves into
unions of Russian workers, we. as a part
of the world toilers, will go forward in
our further work in order that the prin-
ciples set forth in the foundation of this
federation would always be for us the
leading thread in the work of organizing
large masses of Russian immigrants to
accelerate the liberation of Russia and
all humanity
Traces Of the activity of the organiza-
ton have been found from New York to
San Francisco. II is known that agents
OF the Russian Workers union have held
meetings in New York, Cleveland, Akron,
Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco The
agitation has been chiefly among the
Slav races, but Scandinavians and the
representatives OF other European races in
this country have been subjects of the
Underground campaign
The main instrument of the propa-
gands is literature which calls for the
overturn of government by violence, as.
sorting that there is no moral wrong in
accomplishing revolution by bloodshed.
The literature is distributed at the
meetings and handed individually at
other places to those who it is thought
are ready to give hearing to the meas
ures advocated All the literature thus
far got hold of is printed in Russian.
From the traces of their activity it is
estimated that there are not less than
500 propagandists of the Russian Work
ers' union in this country,
The aim of the organization is to have
branch in every country in the world.
In the literature they make distinction
between themselves and anarchists" on
the ground that the anarchists are for a
revolution leading to condition of no
government, while they are for a reyolu
tion by force leading to a government
exclusively by the proletariat--the aim
of the bolsheviki.--Detroit Free Press.
