The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-11

0tAaAEV W A0iAAA CfRCNACAND
that some men are killed by other
men This is not strange or fearful
to Communist workers. But today
Communists as well as all workers
commemorate the death of four men
who died for labor.
A building of gray stone on North
Dearborn street, Chicago, is passed
daily by thousands who do not know
the terror behind its walls. 1t is the
Cook County jail. To those who
know, the very sight of the build
ing makes one shudder, then flush
with deep anger and hatred Of the
class which thirty-fve years ago
murdered by legal form Albert R.
Parsons, August Spies, George En-
gel-and which was cheated by the
self murder Of Louis Lingg before
they could force him into the moose
with which they hanged his three
comrades.
Force and terror are the founda-
tions Of capitalism. To those who
have been in the Cook County Jail
when men are hanged; to those who
have been locked in the same cells
and shuffled endlessly around the
same dingy bull-pen hung with the
dirt and cobwebs of decades, where
Parsons, Spies and Engels were first
Gagged and then hung in 1887, it does
not seem so long distant. The ter
ror exercised by the dictatorship Of
the capitalist class seems more
living, threatening thing. II fills one
with rage and impotence that men
and women of the workers bear with
this monster, this capitalist terror
especially as they need not bear
it.
.XKTHAT> is the story Of those who
wv were hung on November IL,
1887? First, they were leaders Of
the workers. Parsons was long the
head Of the first central labor body
in Chicago They were all union
men and believed in a system of So
ciety which they called anarchy"
but which we know as the goal Of
the Communist movement, and call
Communism.
In what situation did they come
to think these thoughts? The civil
war had left the manufacturers of
the north the victors alike over the
southern shareholders and the wage
slaves of the North who had borne
arms against them. Ascending CAPT.
talism knew no bounds to its greed
and ruthlessness. Unions were
crushed into secrecy. Factories
claimed the last ounce of human en-
ergy from the workers. Ten hours,
twelve hours, fourteen hours were
demanded from men who had sprung
to arms to free the slaves!"
The men, the women and the chill
drn of labor were utterly at the
mercy of an unchecked, staggering
capitalism. The long hours Of those
who worked for little pay was nat
urally complemented by the hun
dreds OF thousands Of unemployed
who tramped the streets, begging
and in rags. In the working class
districts Of Chicago one had to pick
ones steps along the sidewalks
where slept thousands Of homeless,
hungry men.
Under such conditions conven-
" ton OF unions was held in
1885 and a decision adopted that the
long hours of labor must be short
ened and a call sent forth to the
effect that on May /. 1886, the work
ers should begin to enforce the
eight-hour day and strike in case 1t
was refused or they were penalized.
Parson, Spies and the rest Of the
revolutionary workers OF Chicago
took the lead. The Central Labor
Council OF Chicago. which would

Nearly a quarter of a century age
at one of the nearby race tracks, a
great throng of turf fans bent for
ward and strained their eyes to
catch every detail of the close finish
of the most exciting race of the day
"a steeplechase.
AS the group of horses, clinging to-
gether in an almost neck-and-n eek
dash in the stretch, leaped the bar
riers, they seemed to be one mass of
horsefesh 1t was a remarkable test
of equestrian suSriority, and none
could venture guess as to which
would romp home the winner.
Suddenly the tenseness that hung
over the crowd gave way to frenzy
of excited cheering. A dappled gray
mare was beginning to pull away
from the bunch. Steadily she in
creased her distance as the judges
stand was neared and stoutly she
maintained a healthy lead until she
flashed across the line winner
Was Turf Youngxter.
Fanny, youngster of the turf. was
crowned queen of steeplechasers that
day. Her name was on every tongue
and her pictures gr.ced the sporting
pages of the local papers the follow
ing morning.
Perhaps some one who reads this
today was present when Fanny made
her debut so many years ago. Per-
haps the reader, recalling the thrill
he got at watching a race so superbly
will nanCd nnnanf and wonder
what became of Fanny, queen of
steeplechasers. A mare with quail
tiles as rare as Fanny should not
have been allowed to suffer for want
