By Howard Fast. (Duell! Sloan & Pearce*)— In the annals of U. S. injustice, the conviction of eight radical la bor leaders of bomb-throwing in Chicago’s Haymarkef' Square stands along with the Sacco-Van- zetti case. Howard Fast, in light historical novel form, traces the life of John Peter Altgeld, gover nor of Illinois who pardoned the three remaining offenders, and ruined a brilliant political career. Chicago in the later part'of the 10th century was a sprawling giant the rail terminal of the midwest and stockyard for the nation. The slaughterhouses of Armour, Wil son and Swift bludgeoned men, as Well as pigs, and cattle, by low wages and long hours. The meat fcmd rail barons fought labor- organization with the dread Pinkertons, the injunction, and all violence possible. And when alv'ut 800 workingmen assembled in Hay- market Square one rainy night to demonstrujtc for the eight-hour day two hundred Chicago police at tacked thetu with guns and clubs. During the melee, & bomb was tos sed from somewhere, fatally woun- - ding a policeman and injuring sev eral others. Arrests started the next day, and a roundup of all known labor "agitators” was completed. From these, eight men were indicted for murder, ouickly tried by a prejudiced jua sed jury were hung ed. t The free press was singularly aroused by tho trial, and demand-- cd swift justice for the “anarch ists.” It was never proved that those convicted had actually thrown th]D bomb. Some were not evetfin the area. That they were labor “agitators” was enough. Such was the situation confront ing John P. Altgeld when he as cended to the governorship from a minor bench in Chicago. While a judge, he had played along with Phil Armour, George Pu T man and their crowd, and profit^ ,. He ius- tified this by one won.—“politics.” But when petitions came to him from the liberal elements, from the labor groups, and he had ex amined the trial records, Altgeld saw that justice had been miscar ried. He alone could repair the damage by an unconditional par don of those still alive but impri- ifoned. Altgeld knew what the conse quences of the pardons would be— his political and personal destruc tion at the hands of the vested interests, the controlled press, and a people convinced that labor Un ions and anarchy arc th# same thing. 1 -J . ' '' V' True to conscience and convic tions, Altgeld thsued the pardons. TVe result was as expected, and the pre$s hurled accusations of “destruction of law and order,” “anarchy,” and "socialism.” Alt- geld was ruined, and died a bro ken man for daring to express ideas ahead of his (ime. Much of the book is concerned with Aitgeld’H background as a . farm tvorker, railroader, school teacher and lawyer, ‘ and how he made millions from nothing.
