ILOODY PLOTS OF THE RED AND BLACK SOCIALISTS. They Rely Upont a Tremendous Business Panic to Ait Them in Obtaining Control of Amfilrs--Chicago the Hot lied. A few days ago press dispatches con tained a report about a projected com bination of the three principal socialistio organizations in this country-the Rod International, the Black International and the Socialistic Labor party. While the aims and designs of the so-called Black International, or the International Working IPeol)le's Association, thanks to the anarchists' trial, have become widely known, nobody knew or hardly over heard of the Red International, or the International Workmen's Association, as being a specific organization of so cialists along the Pacific coast. The organization was founded in San Fran cisco in 1885. It was organized in all the principal cities throughout the \estern States after the modo of the Knights of Labor assomblies, and is by far more secret than that organization. It is now authoritatively announced by rn orgau of the socialists that the leader of the "Beds" proposes there shall be an uprising in 189. What would occur, were the uprising he counts on success ful, is thus outlined: ''The circumstances which may perlmit decisive action will prolbably be these: In 1689 the present panic aplroaches a climax. It will be widespread ani alarming, accompanied by closed factories, starving workers, rioting andl the use of military force. It niay even, complicated by a bitter class hling, result in a suppression of the rights of free sleech, meeting and press. bnumal tlihen, unless the whole people are aroused, it is the duty of the wise social i r to hold aloof from riots in special localities. "leu time is not yet ripe for success; we have counted our heads, and we Know it. 'To strike this year would be to slaughter our best people and put back the cause a hundred years. No, at present we must be as wise as serpents but harmless as doves. We must take advantage of it for agitation and educa tioni only. Ve must speak much and act not at all. When the working peo ple are hungry their brains weaken. One year of panic means a trebling of our lorces at the very least. And while, with our present 100,000 socialists, forcil)iu action is impossible, with 400, UU what the next panic will give us if we iuanage wisely) we hold the game in our own muads. 'We have, perhaps until 1889, time in which to periect our plans. That year in .lurope will surely bring grave re sults. In Anmerica, if ligures lie not, another panie, greater, deeper and more widespread than the preceding will be 111)011 us. Then, and not till then, may we risk a cast of the iron die. Then may we strike to win." The article states that they expect to have in the United States in 1889 at least +sUU,010 earnest socialists, divided some what as follows: Chicago, 25,000; New York, 25,000; in the New England fac Iury States, 100,000; in the central coal aidl iron regin, 01), 000; in Colorado and the Vestuin Status, 50,000; on the 'acific coast, oO,t)0U; in the Atlantic and iuuthern cities, altogether, 100,000, and scattered at various points in towns and villages, 50,000 more. ''The panic conies, the pulblic are ex cited, outbreaks occur, the large centers revolt, the places where but a low social isti exist are miado points for the rally ing of the conservative element. "'in these small places it should be nuaite the dhity of the socialists there pre sidhng, secretly and with all the aid of science in destructive warfare, to raise iialhiceint turmoil to keep the conserva tlves busy at honie. A1eanwihile in large et liters b(ok i measuires shoul be taken. OUr peoplo~ shoul head, lead and con I rol the popular revolt; should seize the places oi power; shoul lay hands upon the innaeliiiery of the government. Once inmtalled in piower, the revolutionary conuiuitte~e should hollow this course of action. The decree shoul at once be promulgated and enforced." It is proposed to nmako Chicago the headquarters ol the uprising in 1889, which is to follow the comnbination of the ditierjent branches of the inter natioiialists, andl (quito an elabiorate pro grammne is outlined of the manner in which the style of government will ho changed afte th le revolt has proved sue cesst ul. Thie year 18 is also the one decided mi 188 by the National Fedora tion of Trad es as the one in which the eight-hour irule shoul go into eff'ect.
