This pamphlet was adapted from an article written for and published in the Red Clarion, our mass political newspaper, as an entry in the Episodes in Revolutionary History series, on May 1, 2023. It is an account of the battle between Labor and Capital that unfolded in Chicago, early May, 1886, with an emphasis on the part played by Marxist and other socialist agitators. It is, in essence, the story of the Chicago socialist movement in its infancy, spotlighting two of its leading lights, Albert Parsons and August Spies, their work for the proletarian movement, and their tragic martyrdom by the U.S. Empire.

The pamphlet is 9 pages in black-and-white. It includes, at the end, an information on the Press and an appeal for comradely and mass correspondence with our journalists.
