The name of the publishing house is a reference to the 1886 [[Haymarket affair]], an incident that began with police killing four striking workers and injuring many more, culminating in a show of working-class solidarity the next day where workers gathered to protest the police brutality against striking workers. A bomb was thrown into the crowd, injuring 6-7 police; in response, police open-fired into the crowd killing and injuring masses of civilians as well as police.
