The Alarm, Oct. 11, 1884

TAKE CARE.

At a meeting held by the Internationals in their hall, No. 54 West Lake street, last week, the subject discussed was, "How can the idle obtain employment?" Among the speakers was J% P. Dusey, who said that the unemployed should attack the lives and property of those who have robbed them of their labor products and now turn them adrift to starve. The Daily News, which has grown rich on the pennies of the working people of Chicago, says of Mr. Dusey: "He should be nipped in the bud of his mischief-making. If he doesn'nt like the way this country is run the authorities ought to furnish him free transportation to some land where such creatures are given their deserts at the end of a rope."

The Daily News man evidently fears an attack, on the principle that the "thief doth take each bush to be an officer," Some fine day, in the change of an hour, every wage worker will become a communist and the Daily News representative of capitalistic robbers will find himself, instead of Mr. Dusey, dangling at the end of a rope! Have patience, and your curses will come home to roost.
