What was one effect of events in haymarket square?

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.

Describe cause and effect of haymarket riot?

Well idk about the effects, I'm looking for that too, but I know the cause.. Business and government leaders were scared that the unions were going to spread the socialist's idea that all members of society are created equal and share work and profits. They were also scared that the unions would spread the anarchist's thought of abolishing the government. On May 3, srikebreakers, union members, and police fought because the McCormick Harvest Company hired strikebreakers to replace the striking union members. During the fight, one of the union members was killed... and then another fight began, which was, of course known as the Haymarket Affair. I'm glad I could help... well, I hope I can.. whatever.. I'm just really bored :) One of the effects was the 'yellow dog contract'. The yellow dog contract was a contract used by employers that, after an employee signed it, prevented said employee from joining a union.

What was a major effect on Haymarket Square Riot of 1886?

The Haymarket Riot for anyone that doesn't know is a riot on May 1st 1886 that started out as a ordinary riot to demand better work standards including an eight hour workday. The riot escalated when the police broke up the riot and someone who is still unknown today threw and detonated a bomb. In the confusion eight police officers were killed from friendly fire and some number of protestors were killed. The riot was a setback to the striker's cause because this pulled away from the Labor parties main goals. In the time succeeding the riot our people were tried and executed and one committed suicide. Samuel Gompers did take this time to create a larger protest with the socialist party in Paris. The Socialist and Labor parties then created a massive demonstration on May 1st 1890 commemorating the men who were killed during the riot, while at the same time protesting.
