Mr. Zeisler took consid- crable pains to impress upon the jury t the calls to arins referred to by the state were only intended to signify that if cemployers protected their interests by re- course to arms, workingmen had ought to protect themselves in the same manner. “The social revolution, that Spies referred to,” said the speaker, “is not _revolution to be suddenly consummated by force but t social revolution which is inevitable. elght-hour movement was a part of the gen- eral plan of revolution, and no one had in- timated that this movement was_in defiance of law and order.
