Additional Details

Distributed the day after union iron molders had been killed by Chicago police, this flier was issued to convene the large crowd on the fateful evening of the Haymarket Riot. The first version of the flier included the line "Workingmen Arm Yourselves and Appear in Full Force," but the incendiary line was omitted in this second issue at the insistence of protest organizer August Spies. In English and German.
