eral authorities as "a fluent, vitriolic
writer on anarchistic subjects and al
ways typifies in his writings the
principles and teaching of his master,
Malatesta." After Malatesta's ban
ishment from the United States, Cam
meta was his chief representative In
this country, and was in constant
communication with him, 1t is
