BERKMAN HINTS
AT VIOLENCE
Expects No Justice for
Carlo Tresca from
Courts at Paterson.

Addressing a gathering Of 800 |. w.
w. men. most of them Italians from
the Paterson silk mills, here last night,
Alexander Berkman limited that tne
only way to throw tie fear OF God
into the capitalists" in the event OF
the conviction of Carlo Tresca for IN
citing to riot, was to assassinate
Tresca's Judge and the prosecuting at
torney
Berkman's remarks were couched IN
careful language, which he had evl-
IDENTIFY thought out beforehand, but
there was no mistaking the presence OF
the thinly Yeiled suggestion. The meet
ing was held in Casino Hall, 80 East
4th ST., for the purpose of discussing
the trial of Tresca, who comes up IN
Paterson to-day on a charge OF melting
to riot during the silk strikes.
81 am tired of these protest meet
ings," said Berkman. They do NOT ac,
oomplish anything. Six determined
men. or even one man, by resorting 10
action, can do more TO throw the rear
of God into the capitalists than All Ine IN
protest meetings in the world we
shall never free Carlo Trescs oy seek
ing Justice in the courts.
"But there is another way 6y Whicu
we can make ourselves felt. Inc JIugSS
in this case is human and he is iona
of his life. The prosecuting attorney
ord the iurors are human also, ana
tbev also want to keep their lives
That is all that | have to say 10 you
Send Telegram to Dunn.
A. the end of the meeting Albert
WiIks who was presiding, proposed
that a telegram be sent to District AT
tornev Dunn, of Paterson, protesting
AGAINST bringing Tresca TO trial. lhls
nation was howled down by the more
radical element and Berkman then
nronosed a telegram to Dunn, INFORM
mo him that he, Tresca's judge and the
iu1ors. "will be held personally and IN.
dividuslly responsible in the event OF
Tho conviction of Carlo Tresca. Ihis

Reckv Edelson also spoke. she, too,
directing her broadsides at the courts
She reiterated that there was no JUS
tice in the courts and urged the rat
erson silk workers to start another
strike if Tresca is convicted.
EVERY time a workingman is brought
into the courts he should show his
contemnt for them in every way pos
sible." said Becky. 81 say, to hell with
YOUR courts! expect no justice from
them" l.
Speeches in Italian were made by
Pietro allegro and Nicola Cuneo.
Berkman was informed after his
speech that his remarks would be in
terpreted as an invitation to those
nresent to take the lives of the judge
or the District Attorney. He replied ::
~ don't care if they are" Asked
about the rumor that anarchists were
responsible for the death of the
Servian archduke, Berkman said that
he did not believe such was the case.
Hopes Assassin Was Anarchist.
However, hope it was an ansr-
chist," he added.
One of the main reasons for the
split between Italians on the celebra-
tion OF Garibaldi Day, according TO
Pietro Allegpa, is the fact that the
Nationalists will charge an admission
fee of % cents 20 the exercises on
Staten Island. The Italian Consul is
to make an address there.
"They are making moving picture
show of it," said Allegra. What do
we care for the Italian Consul ~
The insurgents will hold their own
celebration also on Staten Island, with
Beppino Garibsldi, nephew of the
patriot, az principal speaker.
