Read the excerpt about the Haymarket bombing in Chicago.
The situation has not improved within the last twenty-four hours. It is more alarming, if anything. The dastardly work of the Anarchists last night has maddened the police and the deadly retaliation of the officers has inflamed the followers of the red flag. Both sides are desperate. There were more bloody collisions today, and there will be more tomorrow. Dynamite is known to be secreted in the houses of the Socialists.
