Tale of conspiracy in Chicago's anarchist circle
A Chicago Times report paints a dim, atmospheric scene of a secret anarchist conference held in the mayor's building behind the Times offices. About 80 attendees from diverse nations debated methods of agitation and education, with little formal structure, secrecy justified by police ban. The piece frames the event as a genuine, fraternal dialogue with proposals on universal strikes and support for workers, Spain, and revolutionary ideals, while downplaying any concrete plan or violence.
