MIR. Dixon gave an interesting account
OF several meetings Ofthe Socialists which
he had attended. Most of the remainder
OF the afternoon was taken up by the
prosecution in the reading of editorial and
other articles from the Alarm and similar
Socialistic organs.
FINDING OF A BOMB.
A dynamite bomb 1917 inches long and
2inches in diameter was found to-day Sc
creted in a barrel of straw on the fourth
floor of WILDER & Aliens crOckery ware
house at No. 23 East Washington street.
1t was completely loaded ard primed.
Detective Roman was called to remove il
and 1t was deposited in Lieut.. Shea's
room, where it was pronounced the most
dangerous weapon yet found.
Abraham Oscheles, young Russian
who worked for the firm in May, is sus-
pected of having placed it there ready
for use in the HaymaTket massacre. He
is now working for A. >. Gage 81 Co., and
will be arrested. His SOcialistic lean
ings are we'll known.
The States detectives engaged In the
anarchist investigation are said to have
ascertalned that the man who made the
incendiary speeches from the box car,
which also served as a rOstrum for Spies
and others, is named Fielden. He has
heretofore been known as 1.-The man in his
shirt sleeves" 1t is further stated that
this man had bombs upon his person at
the Mccormick affray, but when the police
made their dash he threw them into
slip OF the south branch OF the river
which runs near at hand. Efforts are
being made TO resuscitate these eXplo-
sives.
MEETING OF SYMPATHIZERs.
Fully two thousand sympathizers of
the eight anarchists now being tried be-
fore Judge Gary assembled in the West
Twelfth street Turner Hall tonight. 1t
was the first "red flag" meeting since the
memorable night OF May 4, and there was
considerable anxiety around police bead
quarters in consequence. The entire force
there was held in readiness TO answer
any call, and good sized number
of officers was in attendance upon the
meeting. Capt. ODonnel was present
and had about forty uniformed police
men scattered inside and outside the ball,
besides many detectives in cltizen's
clothes. But the meeting was peaceable
and the proceedings regular. A. Blschotf
presided. Speeches were delivered by A.
b. Simpson, DR.. Ernest Schmidt and
George Schilling, all Socialists or anarch-
lists OF long standing.
TEMPERING THEIR REMARKS.
The remarks OF each were evidently
tempered with due regard for the police
force that was present, and we're pretty
strictly confined to eXpatiating on the set
objects OF the meeting, which are summed
up IN a series Of resolutions that were af-
terward carried with a whoOp. These
resolutions charge that the press has,slnce
May 4,with absolute unanimity, clamOred
for the condemnation and execution Of
the eight anarchists on trial, although
they have not yet been heard in their
own defense. The resolutions further
charge that the press has not fairly and
fully published the evidence thus far ad-
duced in the trial. particularly the cross
examination of witnesses called by the
prosecution. In conclusion The resolu-
tons recommend to the organized
workers Of Chicago to follow
in the footsteps Of the Central
Labor Union OF New York, which
is entering the arena Of political action
for the purpose Of counteracting the re-
pressiye legislation that the capitalistic
class will no doubt attempt to railroad
