companions Il would seem that when
his friend faltered at regicide, Bressi
took up his burden and went across the
ocean 10 carry out the decree that Hum.

In manner Bressi was quiet. Men
who worked beside him say he was the
last one they would suspect rs an assas-
sin. He spoke little and volunteered
nothing about himself When there
was shop call and the men went on
one Of their numerous strikes. Bressi

Paterson has long been hotbed OF
anarchists Men here who are familiar
more or less with the workings Of th,
organization say that for years Paterson
has contained more Of the society thar
any other city in the United States, with
the possible exception Of Chicago. Their,
is strong socialist element In Paterson
and the anarchists formerly worke,
with this element without allowing th,
socialists 10 know that il had the sup
port Of the violent ones.
The anarchists tried 70 control the 80
cialists, and failing dropped away from
that movement. denounced the socialist
becLuse Of their peacefulness and claim
ed that they were traitors. although th'
socialists had never tried anything bu
peaceful methods and were purely polit
