Aroeater Zeituns-TroOps Ordered to
Report at Cincinnati on Sunday,
CHICAGO, Nav Z.
The police have discovered more dynamite
material, but refuse to say where it was found
as they have hopes of discovering the MANN
factnrer. One was formed of she'll lead.
about four inches IN diameter and as round as
az orange. The she'll is cast in two parts.
l"o cups are fastened together with an iron
colt running through them and fastened at
the to- by three-Guarter inch nut. lust like
the one found in the hall. supposed to have
been made by bomb on Desplaines street.
The bomb it filled with explosives and some
iron bullets. In the shell near the nut q hole
one eighth of an inch in diameter, has been
drilled, and in the crevice was found inserted
an entire bomb fastened together. 1t weighs
between 10 and l6 ounces. In another place
was found two pieces of gas pipe, each about
eight inches in length.
One is about an inch and the other about
an inch and half in diameter The bottom
OF the pipe is filled with lead cast in clay
The top in which the fuse is placed is made
OF block of wood. Ii is intimated that the
men who made these bombs know who made
the one fired on Tuesday night. Ali officers
now believe that the firing of the bomb on
tuesday night was a little premature and
that the vile schemers miscalculated their
power.
Donations to the fund for the benefit of
the wounded policemen and families of those
killed in the Tuesday night riot, have reach
ed S32 900.
The trouble at Fortieth street, crossing of
the Indiana railroad, continues Thursday a
number OF trains were stepped at that point.

the roads in opening up the lines. A great
crowd stands about watching the scene, but
police say there is no disorder.
The Arbeiter Z-tung made its appearance
again Friday, though in a very reduced form.
The old paper was large, prosperous look
ing folio sheet, while today's issue is a 12xl0
hand bill The leading article, today, is ad-
dressed to the workingmen of Chicago. and
after relating the difficulties they had in pub
fishing the paper, owing to the arrest of all
the printers and editors, the article saws
These twenty-five printers were arrested on
the ridiculous charge of murder, people who
did nothing but their work and for which they
were paid. Bail was refused for them. On
all sides there was systematic attempt to
make the temperance of the paper impossi-
BILE. You see then, workingmen, that the
ruling class understand better than you the
value of labor organ.
We will show you that although the reck-
lessness of some may temporarily confuse,
it cannot disrupt our workingman's party.
We therefore appeal to you, workingmen.
You see that the wOrkingman's movement
without an organ is impossible. We shall
continue the fight for freedom and right, that
this paper has always conducted. Forward! !!
and unhesitatngly forward. in spite of the
chicanery of the ruling classes. Again,
workingmen, do your duty. We will do
ours.
In another part of the paper is an article
which Indirectly charges that the dynamite
which the police found in their building, was
brought there by officers themselves They
say after the police had arrested the editor
they carefully searched the building. but
found nothing In a short time they reap
peared and arrested all connected with the
paper, and, behold they also found dynamite.
they are also said to have found revolver
and an old file. Indeed. Dreadful And
the find is said to prove that the printers are
murderers. The writer then goes on to say
that the whole thing is conspiracy to sup
press the paper forever. In a conspicuous
part of the hand bill is printed comments OF
the New York Volks Zeitung on the arrest of
Schpnish and Brauns ckmeg in that city.
The report that Calumet Iron and Steel
Co. were going to bring number of new
men to the mills will probably cause trouble.
The strikers said thev were determined the
new men should not 60 to work. Dave Scott,
section agent, was driven out of town, Thurs
dav night, by mob of strikers. The com
pany filed bill and the leading strikers have
been enjoined by the circuit court to keep
away from the company's work.

trained them to throw switches thus starting
the trains.
All the wounded officers at the county hos

able Friday morning, and showing signs of
improvement. Officers Flavin and Jacob
