if im not mistaken the "conspiracy to riot law' was inacted in the early 20 th century and is often refered to asthe anti-anarchy law.They used this to raid and detain Emma Goldman and Bergman among others.
If they're pulling this out,then id be looking up the other laws they used to disuade assembly in public places. Some ,i think, were as vague as to make it illegal to meet in public or private while discussing any other system of gov.other than the one in place here.
Again,I could be mistaken ,but I have a memory of reading about these in some of Emmas writings.
