"As we are informed from reliable source the police have received secret orders to keep themselves prepared in their stations as a labor conflict is feared on Saturday of next week. You see the capitalistic sluggards are thirsty for the blood of working men. The working men will not permit themselves to be kicked by them like dogs any more. They will not be tortured to death any more by unlimited work, and they will not be starved any more. For this opposition they want vengeance and they cry for blood. May be that this cry will be heeded---but then besides the red life sap of the extortioners victim there may flow a little of the black dragon poisen of the extortioner. To the working men we again say at this hour, arm yourselves. You have but one life to lose. Defend that with all means. And in this connection we want to caution the armed working men as yet to conceal their arms so that they will not be stolen by the minions of the law as it has happened in various instances."
