Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 6.-I took opportunity to-day
on meeting Hyndman, leader of the socialist
party here. to learn his views about the Chicago
riots. He showed great interest and spoke
freely on the subject OF his probable visit TO
America, which has only just been decided
upon. 1 need hardly add that the general
opinion will not quite agree with his estimate
of the socialist movement here. said: "What
Is the attitude of the English socialists toward
such outbreaks as those In Chicago?" He
piled: IL can only speak for myself. have no
sympathy whatever with anarchist tactics, but
the Chicago police are VIGOROUSLY brutal and
seem to have attempted to disperse public
meeting without any overt action on the part
of the crowd. 1t is almost civil war" asked:
'But would you under any circumstances de-
lend an action like that of the Chicago anar-
chists?' He replied: Certainly. If the right of
free speech is Systematically interfered with
by the police, even peaceful crowds will be
forced to organize themselves for resistance
For example, If the London police were to act
once or twice more AS they did at our last great
demonstration in Hyde park, undoubtedly we
should he driven to resort to similar means,
premature l asked: Are you personally
acquainted with any OF the leading anarchists
therc?"
CHICAGo's BAD CHARACTER
"No," said he; "but Chicago is the very city
whore. having visited it several times, should
expect such an outbreak. Why SO? Because
the capitalist class is more sensual there and
more bestial ia its vices than perhaps any city
In the world. The workers therefore see the
wealth arising out of their labor prostituted to
the basest ends. You may add that the predic-
ton by me of a coming great class war in the
United States will be found in the Pau Mall
Gazette of August or September, 1850, and the
f3rtnightty Reuie,o of March, 1881"

the head In England, and tile views and forces
thus shown to exist in Chicago?'
He replied: ave are altogether opposed to
what the anarchists cali the propaganda of

between labor and capital, or the protectionist
and bourgeoisee, but we know right we'll that
the people are not yet sufficiently educated to
control the complicated economical forms of
our present society; that is, TO socaIize, which
means production in the interest OF the whole
revolution, if possible in this sense, With the
selves?"
D You sent a telegram of sympathy to Mr..
"Yes, but there is nothing to show that the
social democrats OF America or the Knight OF
Labor are responsible for the destruction of
property. These conflicts will always occur
when men are excited as they then were. Such
events occurred in connection with the trades
union agitation here for many years, although
these agitations are now recognized by ali par
ties as having been directed for the general
| benefit"
"You have, think sent an emissary to the
United States recently?"
"Yes, one of our most trusted comrades
James Blackwell, compositor and trades
unionlst. went at his own expense in order to

corning this most important struggle"
"Do you expect to visit America on any SIM

OF addresses upon the present condition of
Great Britain and Ireland, as well AS reminis-
cences OF the revOlutionists have known"
