any money in his pocket and no jury

Shelters for homeless workers was
also urged. Sessions will last through

The loudly heralded "demotion" and
"disciplining" of Admiral Thos. P.
Magruder, who published certain
magazine articles recently to create
more efficiency in the navy, yesterday
rather collapsed. The punishment of
Magruder seems to be that he will

ances, but without having any work
to do. Technically he is awaiting
orders" Actually he is encouraged
to carry on debates with Bertrand

George Engel were hung by the exc

The eight-hour day movement had
been given organized national express
sion at a convention of American and
Canadian workers held in Chicago in
1885, and it was taken up by the
Central Labor Union of Chicago
which endorsed it and appealed to the
editor of ALARM" Albert Parsons
and August Spies, editor of the Chi
cago "Arbeiterzeitung" to support it.
Huge Sweep of Movement.
Through their energetic agitation
and support, the movement became
so popular in Chicago that on May l,
1886, thousands of workers had left
the factories and shops in a concerted
demand for the institution of the
eight-hour day. Two days later, af-
ter a number of incidents of police
brutalities, the workers of the Nc
Cormick Reaper Works, who had met
during noon-hour to discuss the
strike, were suddenly attacked by
wagon loads of police who fired into
their unprotected ranks without
warning. Five of the workers were
killed and many were badly injured.
The Haymarket Meeting.
A protest meeting at the Hay
market was Immediately arranged for
the next evening. The thousands of
workers who came to the meeting
were surrounded by police when some
unknown Individual threw bomb in
their midst which killed and wounded
number of the bluecoats. The po-
lice replied by firing Unfortunately
into the crowd.
The Frame-up.
The leaders of the eight-hour day
movement were Immediately arrested
and tried for having conspired to
throw the fatal bomb. 1t was proved
conclusively during the trial that the
defendants were completely innocent
of any connection with the bomb, the
author of which remains unknown to
this day.
Among them was Albert Parsons.
who had not been arrested originally,
but had voluntarily surrendered him
self to the court in order to defend
himself and his views. The moose was
cheated out of the life of one of the
convicted, Louis Lingg, who was
either murdered or committed suicide
in his cell. The other four were hung.
The Work of Lucy Parsons.
Lucy Parsons was herself one Of
the most indefatigable agitators and
organizers of the movement. She
spoke at scores of meetings and was
particularly active during the strike.
A women's organization committee
had been organized for work among
the women, and Lucy Parsons was
made it's chairman. She has not
ceased her activities in the labor
movement, despite her many years of
work for it.
On FOrtieth Anniversary.
Her presence at the Third Annual
Conference of the International La
Dor Defense gives added significance
to the fact that it is being held on
the fortieth anniversary of the exc
cution of the Haymarket martyrs.
Coming as it does on the heels of the
legal assassination of Sacco and Van
zetti, it will bring out with greater
sharpness the necessity of building
a movement like the 1. L. D. for the
defense of all class war prisoners and
workers who are prosecuted for their
opinions and activities in the labor
movement.

NOWHERE in the rec
~ ords of American labor
history can such sensational
treachery of labor be found
as presented in this remark
able new book. Looting the
treasury of a great union;
rifing the insurance funds
and pension money; corrup-
ton of leaders; speculation
with the savings of workers
all the tragic abuse of
leadership and policies that
nearly wrecked the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engi-
neers are presented in this
book.
The facts are brought to
light by the author from the
official records of the con-
vention just held which
lasted for seven weeks at a
cost of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.
"Wrecking the L b or
Banks" stands out as the
most dramatic exposure of
the dangers of class COLA
boration that has yet been
written. 1t is book that
should be in the hands of
every worker.

One of the, men here stopped ms
on the street about ten O'Clock one
evening and said they were to have
meeting at four O'Clock the next
morning to begin rescue work, and
for ~ hours / didn't get any sleep.
For week we had wonderful wealth
er, and the heaviest trucks could go
right to the water's edge and load
up. Our fine gravel roads saved
hundreds of lives, but on the fol-
lowing Sunday the big rain stopped
the trucks and from then on it was
a boat proposition. But we had
three trains of boats with trained
crews waiting in the yards, and they
went out. It would make history
in itself, the things those boatmen,
did. They could make boat do al
most anything but talk, and they
rescued hundreds from housetops
and trees. In all of our district but
two people drowned SO far as we
know, and how the number wasn't
at least 200 I can't figure out.
