PEOPLE'S EX. 94.
May 1st, first page, Editorial notice which reads as follows:
"It is said that on the person of one of the arrested comrades in New York a list of membership has been found and that all the comrades compromised had been arrested. Therefore, away with all roles of memberhip, and minute books when such are kept. Clean your guns, complete your ammunition. The hired murderers of the capitalists, the police and militia, are ready to murder."
On the same page another editorial notice which reads as follows:
"No working man should leave his house in these days with empty pockets."
