CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
They are well Organized and More
Nu.nsraus Than Ever


CHICAGO, ILL, November Is =
Anarchy IL not dead or even sleep
ing. On the contrary, IL IL more
thoroughly organized than even ut
the time Of the HaymaTket riot, aud
its membership u larger than II has
ever been. The demonstration of
last Sunday at waldheim was not
a gathering Of q few SympathiZers
of the friends Of the dead anarchists.
IL was the organized OutpOuriug OF
the InteTnationals, who have thus
arranged to come out and concen-
trate at any point agreed upon. In
spector Bonfisld, Who IL known to
have kept detectives watching every
movement Of the anarchists the past
few weeks when asked yesterday
II there were many anarchists sc the
celebration, replied:
"Ies, there were. Most OF them
were anarchists"
Then you think they are still
organized and have large member
ship"
II have had men out looking up
their meetings, and we know where
they are, aud have the name and
address Of the leaders and the most
radical anarchists, and so we can
reach them In case OF trouble. They
meet in smaller numbers than be-
fCre, but there are more al
them and they conduct their
meetings differently. There l.
not 80 much preparation At
meetings for fighting and drill
ing with arms and explosives, but
what 10 far more dangerous. they
are thoroughly organized Just within
the paIe Of the Lag, and all We can
10 IL TO keep our eyes on them. The
worst thing about Il IL they have
several schools here for teaching
anarchy which they call anarchy
SUNDAY Schools In these they
teach the children to hate Law and
the officers Of the law, and teach
them the worst principles OF an
archy. Why, the wife OF a trusted
emplOye of the county board is the
organizer and teanher OF one OF
these schools, and there are no LEST
than 5000 able bodied anarchists
in Chicago today, ready and organ
lied, waiting for the appointed time.
Trouble must come sooner OF
later. They have set day for II At
headquarters but In the meantime
they will avail themselves OF every
opportunity TO carry out their Oh
ject Of destruction to all organized
law and order institutions. They
sent out circulars before the cleo
ton, asking legislative candidates
for an expression Of their opinion
on the state conspiracy law enacted
at the last session Of the legislature.
Many Of the candidates replied
that they were in favor OF a mOdifi-
cation Of that law, and some OF
these candidates were elected, too.
So, you see, they are becoming
wiser, aud consequently more dan
gerous because the most radical Of
them are afraid TO experiment to-
gether with explosives As long a.
the law IL as IL is"
You say they have q day set for
an uprising, aud mentioned head
quarters. Have you any infOrma-
ton Of this phase Of the lnterna-
tionais."
Eyes, much more than I can give
you; but you may say that we have
positive evidence Of their OrganiZa-
ton, officers, plans, committees,
etc. The central point IL in London
with Paris as the next, then Brus-
sells, New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and San FranciHcO. All the
principal countries have vice-presl-
dents, the United States having two
Chicago one and New York one.
On the strength nf their NUMBER
they rank: France, first; Germany,
second; the British Isles, third, etc.
with the United States and Mexico
last. In America the central head
quarters are In New York. So far
they have agreed on the Tooth ami
versary Of the fall OF the Bastille as
the day for a concerted uprising
do not think the people can take
IL any too much In earnest. They
may have to change Il, but they
will certainly make the effort.
II must come. That IL Inevitable.
