The speaches at the Haymarket Square Rally were aggressive and red hot, but broke no laws and the crowd was orderly. They were about to end the rally when the police arrived and ordered everyone to leave. Some one threw a bomb which killed seven policemen and injured more than 60 others. The police opened fire and four workers at the rally were killed. News of the incident caused anti-anarchist and anti-union hysteria in Chicago and in other areas of the nation. People were rounded up and tried for no other reason than they were suspected anarchists or union organizers. Four were hanged as a result of the trial. No proof was presented that they were guilty of the bomb throwing. They were tried because of their beliefs. This would cause many union supporters to fear for their safety and marked a decrease in the number of union workers.
