1886
The Haymarket Riot
Early in 1886 labor unions were beginning a movement for an eight-hour day.
Serious trouble was anticipated and on May 1 many workers struck for shorter
hours. An active group of radicals and anarchists became involved in the
campaign. Two days later shooting and one death occurred during a riot at
the McCormick Harvester plant when police tangled with the rioters.
On May 4 events reached a tragic climax at Haymarket Square where a protest
meeting was called to denounce the events of the preceding day. At this
meeting, while police were undertaking to disperse the crowd, a bomb was
exploded. Policeman Mathias J. Degan died almost instantly and seven other
officers died later. Eight men were finally brought to trial and Judge Joseph
E. Gary imposed the death sentence on seven of them and the eighth was given
fifteen years in prison. Four were hanged, one committed suicide and the
sentences of two were commuted from death to imprisonment for life. On June
26, 1893, Governor John P. Altgeld pardoned the three who were in the penitentiary.
The Haymarket Riot statue, a 9-foot bronze of a Chicago policeman of the
1880's, was erected in 1889 near the original site of the riot on Randolph
Street near Halsted street as a tribute to the Chicago policemen who lost
their lives in the Haymarket square riot of 1886. In 1892, the park district
shifted it to Union Park and later relocated it to another spot in Union
Park. In 1957 the statue was moved to the northeast corner of the bridge
over the Kennedy expressway at Randolph Street. In October, 1969, and again
in October of 1970 the statue was blown off of its pedestal in unsolved explosions.
In January of 1972 it was moved to the lobby of police headquarters at 1121
S. State Street. Later it was moved to the courtyard of the Police Academy
at 1300 W. Jackson Blvd.
