the Soviet headquarters. This was at

strong.
ON the ground floor were gathered
about $50 men and women, nearly all
Russians. Somebody had been spouting
revolution just before the police broke
in, but the minute strange faces APP
peared the Reds scattered into little
groups, caught up arithmetics and Eng
lish primers and were as innocent as lit

they had been tearing up thngs-book-

the floor revealed.

Rapidly as possible Gegans men
searched the crowd and were lucky
enough to find in the pockets Of few

ruled off spaces for stamps indicating
the payment of dues, few pages are
given up to the hard and fast principles
of the soviets-principles and commit
ments which bind members to destroy
the "damnable trinity of religion, gov
eminent, capitalism" The translation
made by Gegan and competent Russian
aids supplies this programme
The present society is divided into
two classes. On one side are the I'M
fortunate workers and peasants creating
and producing all the wealth OF the
world; on the other side are the rich,
who have seized all this wealth to them
selves.
MANY times the unfortunate working
and peasant class have revolted against
the rich parasites and their faithful SER
wants and protectors, the governments,
from the capitalstic and property own
ing class. But every time they suffered
defeat because of not knowing the nee
essary revolutionary ways and means
through which to gain their liberty
The unfortunate class have been in
struments in the hands OF their enemies
THE struggle between the classes still
continues at the present time and will
terminate only when tho laboring masses
are organized into one union and use
force to take possession Of all wealth
through the violence OF social revolution
Plan of the Social Revolution.
After accomplishing the overthrow
government and ownership the unfortu-
nate class must proclaim a society Of
independent producers who will be COM
PEELED to give satisfaction to the de-
mands of every separate person who
gave in turn their labor and knowledge
to this society.
THE first plan necessary to our aim
is to organize a large number OF revo-
lutionary groups of workers who will
frN,t,a lfoAo
institutions of government and owner
ship. We must teach the working class
to take the initiative OF self-activeness
in order to bring about the necessary
and inevitable strike to abolish gov
eminent and proclaim the success of the
social revolution.
Therefore we organize in unions OF
Russian workers We arc the lahorers
of the world and will lead in all our
future work, so that the principles laid
down in our federation will be as a di-
rectinZ string for us in the affairs of a
large organized mass OF Russian i'm
migrants in the United States and Can
ada for quicker liberation of Russia
and enslaved humanity in all countries :"
Under the heading Members Con-
tract binding agreement. the purpose
of the federation is further stated:
/. Unification OF the organizations
of Russian workers OF the United
States and Canada for the struggle
with capitalism and government
.. To support the liberation move
ment in Russia
3. To support the revolutionary ele-
ments of workers in America.
4. Moral and material support OF
the organs OK the federation, whether
they be anarchistic or otherwise
.. To create organizations where
there are none and support those al
ready created.
