People's Ex. 113.
Monday February 22, 1886.
A local professional politician, friend of the workingmen and former silk-hat socialist, who also has formerly been a member of the S. A. P. has felt himself constrained to break a lance for the noble-minded workingman's friend--- thus he calls him--- McCormick. The Chicago Times, in league with all other capitalistic papers, endeavors to bring dissention to the locked-out wage-slaves of McCormick by opposing the Anarchists. These who in the natural course of things give the Times much headache, are charged to have instigated the good wage-slaves to rise against their honorable friend McCormick and to even endanger the factory with dynamite. Well, what is not now may yet come. Perhaps the trio Averill, Butler and McCormick will be taken to account sooner than they anticipate.
