WASHINGTON, June 3-This is the

the scene of the bomb outrage here:
PLAIN WORDS:
"The powers that be made no secret
OF their will to stop, here in America,
the world wide spread OF revolution.
The powers that be must reckon that
they will have to accept the fight they
have provoked.
"A time has come when the social
questions solution can be delayed no
longer; class war is On and cannot
cease, but with complete victory for
the international proletariat.
THE challenger Is an old one, oh,
democratic lords of the autocratic
republic We have been dreaming OF
freedom. we nave talked of liberty, we
have aspired to better world and
you jailed us,you dubbed us. you MUIR
dered US whenever you could
Now that the great war, waged
to replenish your purses and build a
PEDESTAL to your saints, is over, moth
ing better can you do to protect your
stolen millions and your usurped fame
than to direct all the power Of the
your exclusive defense against the
working multitudes, rising to more
humane conception Of life.
1--WE accept your challenge and
mean to stick to our war duties. We
know that all you do is for your de-
fense as class; we know also that
the proletariate has the same right to
protect itself. Since their press has
been suffocated, their mouths muz-
zled, we mean to speak for them, the
voice Of dynamite, through the mouths
of guns.
do not say we are acting cowardly
because we keep in hiding; do not
sey 1t Is abominable; 1t is war, class
war and you were the first to wage It
under cover OF the powerful institu-
tions you call order, in the darkness Of
your laws, behind the guns of your
bone-headed slaves.
There will have to be bloodshed;
we will not dodge; there will have to
be murder; we will kill, because 1T Is
necessary; there will have to be
destruction, we will destroy to rid the
world of your tyrannical institutions.
"We are ready to do anything and
everything, to suppress the capitals
tic class; Just as you are doing any
thing and everything to suppress the
p1 1oletarian revolution.
What has been done by us so far
Is only warning that there are
friends of popular liberty still living.
Only now we are getting into the
fight; and you will have chance to
see what liberty loving people can do.
do not seek to believe that we are
the Germans or the DEVILS paid
agents; you know well we are class
conscious men with strong determine
tion and no vulgar liability. And never
hope that your cops and your hounds
will ever succeed in ridding the cour
try Of the anarchistic germ that pulses
il our veins.
eve know how we stand with you
and know how to take care of our.
selves.
Besides you will never get all OF
us-and we multiply nowadays
Just wait and resign to your fate,
since privilege and riches have turned
your heads.
Long live social revolution, Down
with tyranny
