ANARCHISTS INSIST
DEAD ARE MARTYRS
Local Anarchists Determined TO Make
Demonstration When Victories of

police, it was announced today that To-
cal anarchists will pay tribute, at a
meeting in Union Square Saturday, to
the four of their number killed by the
Fourth of July bomb explosion in a

They persisted in their view that the
bomb was planted by capitalistic enc
mics of their movement and that its
victims were martyrs to the cause Of
anarchy.
The bodies were to be cremated this
afternoon at Fishpond, l.. l. The plan
was to return the urns from the ere
matory to the offices of "Mother
Earth," the anarchist publication, to
remain in state until Saturday morning,
when it is proposed to take them ac.
companied by procession led by Alex
ander Berkman, to Union Square, and
set them up while program of speech.
making is carried out.
"The demonstration will take place "
said Berkman positively, "and there
will be no violence unless the police
make it,"
He added that the red flag of anar-
chy would be unfurled at the Union
Square meeting.

VICE CRUSADERS
!. LET PUBLIC KNOW
WHO owns HOUSES
Committee Of Fifteen Makes
Report Of Its War on
Immoral Resorts
NAMING OWNERS
OF PROPERTY WINS
Publishing Names Of Property
Owners Is Found to Be
Strongest Weapon

Chicago, July Shaking public the
names of owners of property used for
immoral purposes has been the most eff
fective method of fighting commercial
lied prostitution in Chicago, according
to the report made today by Superin-
tendent s. p, Thrasher of the Commit
tee of Fifteen" that has been waging
war on immoral resorts.
"It has been admitted by all who
are in a position to know that the old
vice district on the south side is prac
tically closed" said Thrasher's report.
at would be folly to say that vice has
been obliterated, but some of the most
notorious resorts are included in the
450 houses of ill-fame, assignation and
disorderly saloons which have been put
out of business in the last year.
"In these $50 houses of ill-fame,
there were, according to conservative
estimates, 2000 professional prostitutes,
an average of five per house.
A conservative estimate as to the
gross income would be $40 per day per
woman, which would mean 100000
daily or the snug sum of $7,300,000 in
single year. l have no hesitancy in
saying that at least so per cent of this
amount was paid to about 1900 keepers,
runners, pimps and panderers, the male
exploiters of these women.
"The chief weapon used in this war
fare has been publicity. The publish
ing of the names of the owners of real
estate in connection with the keepers
of immoral resorts has had four-fold
effect; it has made it much harder for
keepers of immoral resorts to find safe
abiding places; it has stimulated the
administration and the police depart
ment to greater activity and it has
thrown the vice interests into a panic
81 am well aware of the statements
being industriously circulated to the
effect that the breaking up of the vice
district is sending prostitutes into re
spectacle neighborhoods.
THAT is not true to any such ex
tent as is generally believed. That
many professional prostitutes have ia
ken up their abode in residential dis
tricts is true, but it is also true that
the district they left is largely resi-
Dental and the pity of it is that resi-
dens of that district are poor and un
able to protect themselves against al
entrenehed system of vice which ha,
been more or less efficiently establish
ed and maintained.
The more well-to-do and respectable
neighborhood is, the better equipped
it is to prevent inroads of vice.
"But it must be apparent that n,
such villanous system of prostitution
can be practiced in any residential dis
trict as was in vogue in the red ligh
district where from ten to 100 womel
were plying their trade under on,
roof"

the election judges brought in the
tally sheets and delivered them to

ment of the state militia next week and
would be unable to take the matter up
until after his return.

The first evidence of fight became
manifest this morning in the planning
mills when the proprietors of the four
large mills called their men together
and Informed them that henceforth the
mills would be conducted on the open
shop plan, that men would be engaged
without reference to union affiliations,
tnat the union label would be abolished
and that union stewards would not be
permitted in the mills. The men were
told that the same hours and wages
would be maintained and that all men
who cared to remain could do so and
that those who did net care to do so
could call at the offices and get their
pay. The men remained true to their
union principles by quitting their jobs.

All other plants are running with
their regular crews. The same clerks
are on duty in the stores and no other
industry than the building trades has
tected. The building contract
