THE ALLENTOWN DEMOCRAT, Allentown, Pennsylvania, May 12, 1886
* Haymarket Square riot
* Chicago, Illinois
* Anarchy - Anarchists
Page 2 has a small one column heading in the first column: "The Labor Troubles in the West". See photos for text that includes: "....when a bomb was thrown among which burst with terrible effect...".
This is actually a 1st report as this newspaper was published weekly. What started as a peaceful rally in support of striking workers turned quickly to tragedy as an unknown person threw a bomb into the police, striking fear across the country that anarchist groups were exercising attempts to overthrown all governments.
Complete in 4 pages, some margin wear and tear, otherwise good.
