Chicago Anarchists Are In
clined to Have a Bout
With Bluecoats.
IF the Schedule Is Adhered To
Trouble Will Occur
To-Day.
Chief Hubbard Says He Will
Throttle Spiesism Wher-
ever He Finds It.
Prominent Anarchists Claim
the Police Are Making
a Mistake.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-"There will be no
anarchist meeting tomorrow unless the
anarchists are stronger than the police"
said Chief Hubbard to-day. II know
they have decided to hold a meeting,
but they won't. More than that, they
won't in the future hold a meeting If
we can learn of it in advance. am now
making list of all the saloons and halls
where anarchists are allowed to congre-
gate, and will recommend to the mayor
that their licenses be revoked. At any
and all times we will throttle anarchy
wherever we find it. We may have
chance to make another beginning to-
morrow, but it will be severe lesson
to the anarchists if they show resist
ance." Inspector Bonfield was equally
emphatic in the assertion that no anar-
chist meeting would be tolerated. 1--WE
are fully Informed as to their move
ments," said he, land will see that
they get no chance to publicly air
their doctrines" In the afternoon
Chief Hubbard summoned the proprle-
tors of Grief's hall, at 54 West Lake,
and those at 600 Blue Island avenue and
636 Milwaukee avenue. The CHIEF told
them emphatically that they must allow
no further meetings OF anarchists III
their halls. The prOprietOrs commenced
to argue that the meetings were peace
able, but were interrupted by the chief
with an intimation that he would not
argue that question. Whether the
meetings were or were not peaceable,
made no manner of difference. They
Vere held for the dissemination OF law
less and incendiary ideas. and must De
abolished. aNo satisfactory settlement
was arrive at, and the chief ended the
consultation by saying: 81 have told
YOU that YOU must not allow such meet
ings i'm your halls in future. There is
no room for arguments. II you allow
any more meetings, you
DO so AT YOUR OWN PERIL.
"Good day." As many of the police as
possible will be placed on reserve duty
tomorrow, beginning at II O'Clock: 1t
will be possible to concentrate half the
police force on one point in few mo-
ments if it is necessary. The various
CITY hall were rather doubtful OF the oc-
currence of trouble, but each expressed
a desire to once and for all sit down on
the anarchists and all their sympathiZ-
ers. Editor Deuss, of the Arbeiter
Zeitung, was also seen by a reporter.
He was present at the meeting Friday
night at Grief's hall, upon which occa-
sion. it is claimed by the police, the
threat was made that if the meeting
of Sunday afternoon at the same place
be broken up by the police, another
meeting should be held in the open air
on the site of the Haymarket massacre.
Concerning this, Editor DeusS said that
what might have been said was this:
That if the police insisted upon break
ing up peaceable meetings without an Or
der of court, an open air meeting Should
be held out of which, i'll case it was also
disturbed, test case might be made.
Deuss, when pressed. would not say
that this did occur, but that it might
have occurred. The Arbeiter bund, it
is well established, is composed of the
most rational anarchists and socialists
to be found anywhere, and though its
meeting is usually an open affair, this
is simply for the purpose of making
CONVERTS TO IT'S DOCTRINES.
At No. 636 Milwaukee avenue there
was to have been held tomorrow con-
tinuation of the mass meeting held at
Aurora Turner hall last Sunday, for the
purpose of forming an organization to
take hold of the secular Sunday schools.
The meeting was to be held under the
auspices of the central school board.
composed of delegates from the three
Socialistic Sunday schools now in exist
ence. Jens Christensen, Dane, who
has been employed as their Superin-
tendent, was asked tonight what they
would do if the meeting was prohibited.
He said: "What the members of the
IL IL II 4r1Ixv
speak for myself, and l am in favor of
tainly have no right to interfere
with it. If they succeed in intimidating
the keepers of the hall, and they refuse
to let us have it. of course that ends it.
But if the prOprietors cannot be inJimi-
dated, shall be in favor of having the
meeting, and l am willing to conduct it
and make the address. If the police
order us to disperse | don't think lshall
nav any attention to it. If they use
violence and club us,
THEY MAY DISPERSE Us.
They can do it by violence, but not by
authority of law. Whether we will
hold the meeting depends upon the
school board which meets in the MORN
ing" Concerning the Arbeiter Bund,
he said: II am not hostile to it, but
they are not my crowd. Curtin
Mostler are at the head of
it, and l have no confidence in
anything they lead. Are they anarch-
lists? believe they hold to the stuff
John Most breaches, but l am done with
Most forever. l think the police make
mistake in breaking up these open
meetings, as it has tendency to drive
the men into secret meetings. and it is
there the men grow more friendly and
intimate under unscrupulOus leader
ship, and concOct unlawful schemes"
The talk tonight is to the effect that
steps will be taken by the saloon-keep-
ers to sue the city for damages under
the Cole conspiracy law. They claim
that the reports circulated by the police
has injured their business. and that
