Informant No. 1 Reports:
Salt Lake, Utah, Sat., November 27, 1915.

Today I went over to the I.W.W. meeting hall on west
Temple St. and there met Rieder, Brennan, Secy.Rowan and Jack
O'Leary. We went into the back room of the hall and talked
for about two hours. O'Leary was the first one to speak and
said, "When in hell are we going to get busy about the job we
were foiled on?" Rieder than said they were getting things
arranged and that it would not be for a few days, for he and
the rest of the I.W.W. were waiting to hear from a couple of
fellow workers from Chicago wouldbe here in a day or so,
then they would get down to the fine points. I then said to
Rieder that if anything was going to be pulled off again, to be
a little more careful and let me know in time, that I did not
think that they dealt square with me the last time. I meant
by that that they did not let me know that the job was up.
Rieder then said it was a g--- d---- shame the way I was stuck
in one place and no one even let me know how the whole affair
came out. O'Leary said that he let me know by lighting a match,
and I told him that by lighting a match I thought it was the
signal for me to get ready. Secy. Rowan said that he would
fix the signals the next time so that no one would forget.
Brenan wanted to know what kind of a bomb was going to be used
and Rieder spoke up and said that was a thing to be decided
when the other fellow got in Salt Lake. Secy. Rowan then said
that we had better adjourn for tonight, because he had some
other things to attend to, saying that he had to go to a meeting
where some ladies were.
