AID - concerned
With the hrst page Of this paper
covered with the accounts OF tt,e terrible
and bloody proceedings yesterday u
Chicago, we havs this morning 10 say
that the honest sndeavOr Of the pnblie
press u assist wofki0gmsn Ia bstteFIng
their condition and 10 sympsthize With
the aEdeaiabls Srougs perpetrated upon
labor. nas created IL the minds of mans
Who wora With their hands a false idea
that ali = b0 are not with them, and Of
them. are pee5ecutloz them
Ii has aroused spirit OF socialism
It las fOsterei the commune. A false
and foolish notion Of bloody revenge
has taken possession OF msn Who are
slthin the ranks OF organized labor.
1t Is time 10 bring out the Calling
guns.
When mobs like that which yesterday
rus he'd upon the Mccormick manufac-
tory for the avowed purpose Of killing
men whose only otfsnse Is that they are
willing TO work under the terms
aud conditions imposed by their
employers then il Is time the
militia swept the streets.
1t was not the capitalists alone vest r.
day that the mob-the strikers-were
after; it was workIngnaen whom they pro-
posed 20 ''klll," to quarter
Men OF their own ilk-men who had
wives and children-men whose only
crime lay IN the fact that they were will
ing TO work.
"Kill 'em~ 20 larter themF' were the
cries that were carried on the May-day
bretzs.
Why not bring out the Calling guns il
killing be the cry?
The man who works with his hands j:
no better, not one whit, than the MAJ
who works his brains to discover an op
Iori unity for the work OF hands.
When a yorkIngman JOINS the Knight.
OF Labor, or trade union, he has nc
right to tell another workingmar
he shall not work, and if be use violenc,
10 enforce that idea, violence should b'
used on him.
Always and ever rioters cry for brea(
and ever and always rioters are full o
beer.
AMI yet bread costs but four cents
loaf, VII 10 beer is five cents glass;
These lines should not be misander
stood. This paper will ever advocate th,
/ rights Of the many against the few. 1t II
registered as the friend OF the wage
workers and it comedies them all th'
rights the constitution gives any Ameri
can citizen, and in she case O. strike j
they can persuade others not to work al
well and good.
They may yell "scabs" and rats bu
they must not throw rocks and stones.
II today Chicago sees a repetition o
yesterday riots the militia should b'
called out. A score or tTo ct the ranl
communists will not be missed AID th'
moving Of them down may prevent
scene OK blood and FIRE such as ih'
country never saw.
No. only in Chicago is this true bu
every where where violence is resor'ed t.
the authorities should take the mat
ter in hand. And this is mean
for Grand Rapids as we'll.
coercion is attempted like tha
which was tried at FULLEI
i x RIcE's mill on Saturday an,
the workmen are not strong enough t,
resist the iniruders, then let the Super
intendent Of Police, or Sheriff, call int
requisiti0n all the power At his commsn,
to protect the interests aud the propert,
o. the employer, as we'll as the nights o
/ bis employees.
