THE RIOTOUS SOCIALISTS
FINE POLI0E FIND MATERIAL FOR
DYNAMITE BOMBS.


CHICAGO, May 6.-The executive com
mittee of the trades and labor assembly
and the master workinen of District
Assembly No. "a Knights of Labor, have
issued the following circular
Bellolo- citizens: The tragic events of the
last few hours and the to-be-deplored sacri-
fice OF human life, connected Herewith, the
legitimate results OF the teachings OF reck.
less, law defying men, together with the OK.
cited condition OF public feeling, demand
that the position Of the organized associu-
tions Of this city, represented in the trades
sembly "a, should be clearly and
officially defined, the means employed to
secure recognition OF their demands
stated, and the facts spread broadcast that
they have neither sympathy nor afflliation
with any class Of men who set law and
order at defiance. From the inception OF
the eight-hour movement to the present
time they have spoken with no uncertain
sound. They have consistently and per-
sistently deprecated resort TO violence
and that course they mean to pursue to the
end Their reliance Is and has been based
on the Justice OF their cause, the power Of
organization, and the sympathy of that
public whose sympathy, when the facts are
known Is seldom misplaced.
But while they thus unhesitatingly con-
denim the action OF all law-breakers as un-
wise and unnecessary, they take this occa-
sion TO announce they are none the less de-
termined to secure the recognition and
adoption Of the eight-hour system by any
and every lawful means within their power,
and intend to fight 1t out on that line II 1t
takes all summer.
In this connection they earnestly request
all saloon keepers to refuse to sell liquor to
men under Its influence or TO those known
to be addicted to Its use. By so doing they
will not only show their sympathy with the
movement but contribute their quota TO
securing the quiet and welfare OF the city
They also request that all members of this
organization refrain from participating In
public professions and open-air demonstra-
tions,a and that even at their union meetings
they avoid all bolsterous and infammatory
language.
A FEELING oE CONFIDENCE TO-DAY.
CHICAGO, May 6.-There is greater
feeling of confidence apparent this morn
ing in the ability of the authorities to
preserve the peace. The outlook con-
tinues threatening in certain quarters, and
the police expect that they may be called
upon to disperse gatherings in certain
portions of the city, but the arrest of the
four anarchists yesterday has insured
feeling that the element will no longer
prove SO troublesome in view OF the fact
that the police now believe that all the
leading instigators of the recent troubles
have been Gagged with possibly one excep-
tion. The collecting of evidence against
the conspirators is proceeding rapidly.
sTAHLKUEoHT TO BE PRosEoUTED-FURNI-
TURE MANUFACTURERS AND employees.
CHICAGO, May The Times this morn
ing says The executive committee of the
Furniture Manufacturers Association has
made all necessary arrangements TO secure
the arrest of Stahlkuecht the Socialist
agitator at the head OF the Furniture
Workers Union to-day. It will prosecute
him to the fullest extent for conspiracy
and other violation of the Federal, state
and municipal statutes Of which he has
been guilty. 1t has been demonstrated
positively that very many of the strikers
have been melted. by Stahlkuecht, and his
intimidating rule over the members of the
union has prevented number of the
largest furniture factories from starting
up"
Rothschild's Sons employees offered to
return to work on terms proposed by the
firm yesterday If they would be allowed to
return in body. The firm told them
that they could return to work if they
came in one by one, in the usual way.
Some of them consented to come in that
manner, but none of them did SO up to
last night. II is thought that many of
them will resume work to-day.
At meeting of the Parlor Furniture
Manufacturers Association last night, the
following was unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That we will not recognize any
labor union or deal with any committee, but
with individuals only.
THE swIToHMEN DENoUNoE THE ACTION OF
THE MOB.
CHICAGO, May 6.-The following was
adopted by the switchmen at their meet
ing last night.
Resolued, That we denounce the action OF
the mob, which took place on the old Hay
market square Tuesday night, May 4th, as
being an outrage to the public at large, an
irredeemable injustice to the organizations
and working people of the city OF Chicago
and an insufferable insult to the liberty of
all, particularly to the stars and stripes
under which We live and us citizens hope to
continue.
THE swTToHMEN AND THE FREIGHT HAND
LERs.
Mr.. Monaghan who is at the head of
the Switchmen's National Mutual Associa-
tion at the conclusion of the meeting said
that that organization remained entirely
neutral with regard to any dispute be-
tween the railway companies and freight
handlers, which means that the latter
will receive no assistance whatever from
the union in their present fight.
SOCIALISTS IDEA OF FREEDOM.
CHICAGO, May Gas an illustration of
khn olar ar g kl,o Ill II
lists and their ideas of freedom, the News
this morning prints the following:
A reporter who speaks the Bohemian
language mingled yesterday with the
crowd that was encouraging the boys to
break Rosenfeld's drug store windows
and engaged one Of the men in conversa-
ton. The man said he could not under
stand why it is that men could not do as
they think best. He had come to this
country because the agent who had told
him to emigrate, had promised him he
would come to free country. He had
come here With the idea that this country
was free one, in which a man could do
what he pleased. Now he had found out
that the police in this country were lust
as bad as those in Europe and protected
the property of the rich, which the work
tiCh W utNIEOyg DtGHllbb luGN
wanted to compel the rich to become
their equal. Therefore he hated the
American police as much as he did the
officers in Europe and thought it just, to
kill them and their spies. Rosenfeld
being spy, they had driven him from
the neighborhood and were now doing
their best to demolish the building which
gave him shelter.
THE POLICEMEN STAND NO FooIIsHNEss.
Later in the day big, deep chested,
red-mouthed anarchist stood at the cor
ner of Evergreen and Leavitt streets hnr-
anguing small crowd and advocating the
annihilation of the police. This fellow,
however, was an Englishman. A police
man appeared on the scene and dispersed
the crowd. The orator refused to move.
The policeman promptly felled him with
his club and dragging him to
the corner propped him up against
the patrol box until the wagon came. At
the station the man gave the name of
Robert Johnston. In his pockets were
found q number of needle cases and
scraps of paper on which was written;
"Please, madame, am deaf and dumb.
Buy my needles 1 don't want TO beg"
Johnston said he was Socialist to the
back bone, and that it did not interfere
with his principles that he had to work a
little fake for a living.
swrrcHAIAN ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED OBJ
sTRUoTIoN OF THE MAILS.
Warrants for four of the striking
switchmen employed by the st. Paul and
the Fort Wayne roads were sworn out by
Commissioner Hoyne last night by Mr..
