Labor riot article
This article is from the Inter Ocean, a newspaper out of Chicago. The issue was Wednesday, February 25, 1874; pg. 5; Issue 290; col D. I got the image from the Gale 19th Century U.S. Newspapers archive, accessible via the University of Chicago Library system.
This article, while it appeared in a Chicago newspaper, is about a labor riot in Ohio. I found it striking that Chicagoans would care about labor problems in Ohio. This seems to speak to a concern for a national movement, or thoughts of labor on a national level. It also, seems like a sort of example to the people of Chicago, leaning a little against labor. It talks of a possibly innocent butcher boy who was killed and the fear of more riots, things Chicago should be aware of if it lets things get out of hand.
