How the Chicago Anarchist Groups are
Notwithstanding Facts
CHICAGO, July 21.-A local paper says:
This is only prelude" said central
station detective, speaking of the arrest
of the Bohemian dynamiters, develop
ments far more important and sensational
will soon follow, and at least six more
anarchists, all Germans and prominently
identified with the Haymarket will be
placed under arrest. 1t appears that
since the northwest side group, of which
Fischer and Engel were members, was
dsbanded about year AID half ago, a
number of small ANARCHIST groups have
been formed in various parts of the
city. The groups are organized on the
plan suggested by Johann Most and his
associates in New York. Each group
is composed of but three or four
members, and is entirely independent in
its action. Whatever the group under
takes it does on its own responsibility. In
case its existence is discovered only it's
few members are affected, and those can
furnish the police information but about
themselves. Members of one group know
nothing about those of another, and the
only way they communicate So through
ciphers in Johann Most's New York paper,
the Freiheit. This system of organiza-
ton makes operating among the anarch-
lists a hard task" said the detective. ut
is hard to identify more than
certain number with one particular
plot. Take, for instance, those Buhemians.
They have undoubtedly been laboring
under some outside influence. They have
been assisted by some parties, but who
that influence comes from and who these
parties are they certainly don't know
| themselves"
"How do the police keep the track OF
the anarohists?" asked the reporter,
"It is simple" was the reply. "We have
the names of all parties who read Most'f
paper, for only anarchists read it,"
"Here is another thing that was moi
noticed thus far" continued the detec
tive.
"What is that?" inquired the reporter.
"In case strong evidence is brought
against the men already under arrest, ant
especially against those whose arrest viii
take place, the police of New York will b'
called upon to run in Johann Most
Most will then be brought to Chicago ant

J The arrest of the Bohemian plotter
has caused great CONSERVATION among tn
anarchists. They lay all the blame on tn
police, of course, and characterize tn
arrest of Pronek and comrades as
farce. leading Bohemian paper of tn
city says:
. "The socialism of La Sale did not sui
