 Old Anarchist Conspiracy Recalled. | The sudden activity of the police in rounding up anarchists in this city. as | well as Emma Goldmans statement that | she was made an anarchist by the execu- | ton of the four anarchists here in 1887. recalls the thrilling story of the Hay market riot and its consequence. In 1886 | there were serious labor troubles all over Chicago and the anarchists. who were very numerous here at that time. took | advantage of the strikes to preach sedt- ton. mob violence and murder. They held meetings on the lake front on Satur- l,.kr .fNA wryt.to h ndd CnH the most rabid speakers in the organiza- ton, urging the strikers to rise in their might to shoot down their oppressors. to seize what they wanted. and all that sort
 One of the biggest strikes in the city began May at the Mccormick Reaper works on Blue Island Avenue. The com pany had imported workrnen and on May 8 these newcomers were attacked by a mob of strikers and sympathizers just outside the works, The police were called

The men seemed insane with fury and as a last resort che police fired into the crowd. The mob broke and scatttred. leaving two or three dead men to be pick ed up. That was the beginning of 1t. That afternoon in the office of The Ar cular was set up and printed.

 Haymarket Meeting Is Held.
 In consequence a large force of police were held in reserve at the Desplaines Street Station on the night of May and the mass meeting was held within 600 feet of the station. directly in front, of the plant of the Crane Misunderstanding Com | pany. An immense crowd attended, some drawn by curiosity to see what would some strikers. indignant at the action ofSthe police. The speakers addressed the crowd from the tailboard of a wagon drawn up in front of the Crane place near the mouth of the first alley north of Randolph Street on the east side of Des- p1aines.

The cap tain was in command at Desplaines Street and he knew better than to go into that crowd single-handed. As the embodiment of the despised forces of law and order his life would not be worth a nickel At the head of 300 policemen with drawn revolvers he marched down Des- plaines Street and the crowd sullenly opened up to let the police through.
