and Anti-Anarchists in Chi

CHICAGO, December 27.-The application
on behalf of the anarchistic Arbeiter Bund
for an injunction restraining the police
authorities from preventing their meetings,
was argued before the master in chancery
to-day. On behalf OF the Bund it was con-
tended that it was a peaceful organization
whose sole aim was the amelioration of the
condition of the human race. and
that the action of the police in for
bidding them to meet, and in closing all the
halls against them, is in open violence Of
the constitutional rights. On behalf OF
the city it was argued that the Bund, as
body, was made up of men opposed to the
operation OF all laws, that the propoga-
tion OF their theories tended to public
disorder rendering life and property inse-
cure. The hearing was not finished when
the court took recess.
