ANARCHY RED FLAG



lent During a part of his speech re-
erring to the Western Federation. |
Haywood declared that every person |
n the West carried gun, and that ne /
lad his with him Quiet instantly sue |
'ooded the huzzahing and talking oI |
he audience. as the speaker suited his /
words with action by throwing bach,
his coat and placing his right hand toll
his hip pocket
Lieutenant Blaney, Sergeant EIopp
and Mccarthy, a special policeman. an
Of whom had been standing i'm the
wings of the stage advanced quickly
toward Haywood. The latter never
hesltated, and drew from the pocket
not a glistening revolver but a small
red pamphlet. It was a printed de-
Tense of Haywood, Meyer and Petit
bone. The audience laughed, and the
police retreated to the wings.
The following resolutions were
adopted, at the suggestion Of Edward
Moore. chairman of the meeting:
Whereas. DCmenico d'Anella, JOS
eph Troia, Michael Costello and Fran
cisco Pizzisono, made desperate by the
misery and hunger of their families
attempted to call the attention of the
public to their wretched condition for
the purpose of securing employment,
and
Whereas, Their attempt to enlist
public sympathy frightened the police,
who, fearful that the well-to-do would
not like the spectacle of starving
working people marching on Broad
street demanding employment caused
disturbance by forcibly dispensing
the paraders, and,
Whereas, The undue haste in bring
ing these unemployed workingmen to
trial indicates that revenge for pro-
tecting against starving in land OF
plenty, rather than an impartial desire
to punish infraction of the law, was
what actuated those who prosecuted
them; therefore be it
"Resolved, That we, working people
of Philadelphia, in public meeting as
sembled, condemn the vindictiveness
shown in the trial of workingmen
seeking work; and be it further
Resolved, That we join unanimous
ly in petitioning the Board of Pardons
to pardon them"
"The convicted men committed nc
crime, and l object to begging for
pardon in such a case" cried man
from the balcony in opposition to the
| resolution. For a minute it looked as
though there would be some excite
ment, but the man was quoted, anC
the resolution passed unanimously.
At the close of the meeting anothe
resolution was adopted demanding
that President Roosevelt withdraw thu
United States soldiers from Goldtield
Colo, and Fairbanks, Alaska.
1t was a typical socialistic lookin!
crowd that filled the Opera House
Many wore frayed clothing and hat
the countenances of the unemployed
| The men filed into the building in al
orderly manner, under the watchfu
eyes of a score of policemen. Lieu
tenant Blaney warned the leaders tina
nothing of an inhammatory nature il
the speeches would be permitted.
HAYWOOD SLURS TAFT.
A young woman named Luella Twin
ming and Mr. Moore delivered shoT
addresses before Haywood was intro

spoke with as much force as possible
/ and when the crowd was quiet hi
words were audible in every part
| the theatre. He said:
81 heard your chairman say there
no Justice in the United States for tn

for it but the workingman. The Judge

Judge; his name is Taft"
The speaker was interrupted by lol

starving, what shall he do?" Answe

k audience. The speaker continued: II
