Bill Found in Capital Says
Workers Have Accepted
Challenge of Capitalists
to Destructive Conflict
Called Only a Warning
'sPlain Words Says Time
Has Come for Struggle
Against All SsTyrannies"

late tonight found a handbill near the
scene of the explosion at the Palmer
residence, headed "Plain Words" and
reading as follows:
"The powers that be make no secret
of their will to stop here in America
the wcrld- spread of revolution.
The powers that must be reckons that
they will have to accept the fight they
have provoked.
"The time has come when the social
questions solution can be delayed no
longer. Glass war is on and cannot
cease but with a complete victory for
the international proletarat
"Challenge an Old One"
"The challenge is an old one, oh
democratic lords of the autocratic re-
public. We have been dreaming of
freedom, we have talked of liberty, we
have aspired to a better world, and
you Jailed us, you clubbed US, you
deported US, you murdered US when
ever you could.
"Now that the great war, waged to
replenish your purses an build ped
estal to your saints, is over, nothing
better can you do than to protect your
stolen millians and your usurped fame
than to direct all the power of the mur-
derous institutions you created for
your exclusive defense against the
working multitudes rising to a more
human conception of life.
"The jails, the dungeons you reared
to bury all protesting voices are now
replcnished with languishing conscien-
tious workers, and never satisfied, you
increase their number every day.
prospects Even Worse"
at is history of yesterday that your
gunmen we're shooting and numbering
unarmed masses by the Wholesale: it
has been the history of every day i'll
your regime, and now all prospects are
even worse.
"Do not expect us to sit down and
pray and cry. We accept your chal-
lenge and mean to stick to our war
duties.-We know that all you do is
for your defense as a class; we know
also that the proletariat has the same
right to protect itself. Since their
press has been suffocatcd, their mouths
muzzled, we mean to speak for them
the voice of dynamite, through the
mouth of guns.
"Do not say that we are acting
cowardly, because we keep in hiding;
do not say it is abominable it is
war, class war, and you were the first
to wage it under cover Of the powerful
institutions you call order, in the dark
ness of your laws, behind the guns of
your bonheaded slaves.
"No liberty will protect right do
you accept but ours; the working peo-
Pile also have right to freedom, and
their right, our own rights, we have
set our minds to protect at any price.
eve are not manw, though perhaps
more than you dream of, but are all
determined to fight to the last, till not
a man remains buried in your Bastiles,
till not a hostage of the working class
is left to the tortures of your police
system, and will never rest till your
fall is complete and the laborins
masses have taken possession of all
that rightly belongs to them.
There will have to be bloodshed;
we will not dodge. There will have to
be murder; we will kill, because it is
necessary. There will have to be de-
struction; we will dcstray to rid the
world Of your tyrannical' Institutions
Getting Into Fight
"Our mutual position is pretty
clear. What has been done by us so
far is only a worning that there are
friends Of popular liberties still liv-
ing Only now we are getting into the
fight, and you will have a chance to
see what liberty flowing people can do.
"Do not seek to believe that we are
the Germans or the devils paid
agents. You know we'll we are class
conscious men with strong determna-
ton and no vulgar liability. And never
hope that your cops and your hounds
will ever succeed in ridding the coun-
try of the anarchistic germ that pulses
IN our veins. We know how we stand
with you and know how to take care Of
ourselves.
Besides, you will never get all Of US,
Tor we multiply nowadays
"Just wait and resign to your fate,
since privilege and riches have turned
your head.
Long live social revolution. Down
with tyranny.
