Paterson, n. j., Feb. 10
Twenty radicals, said by Sc
cret service agents to Include the
most dangerous terrofists in the
United StateS-members of the no.
torious BEra Neuva group, whose
creed is assassination and violence
by individuals without waiting for
mass aCtiOn"-were captured early
today by 100 picked agents of the
department of justice in a dramatic
raid on Red" headquarters here.
Warrants had been sworn out for
thirty two, but three escaped the
federal net.
All official records of the |. w.
w. for the entire district east OF
Chicago were seized in the home
of Andre GraZiano, anarchist. IN
this house, federal agents said, Il.
+. Doree, Philadelphia secretary OF
the |. w. w, was hiding. He is
under Indictment in Chicago and Is
alleged to have moved the records
from Chicago to Philadelphia,
thence to Paterson.
The most important capture,
federal officials said, was that of
Ludivioo NJ Caminetta,, editor of
the Italian anarchist magazine La
Jacuuerie (the Massacre). the
printing office was raided and as
the federal agents entered they
found printers running off an I.
w. w. pamphlet entitled "The
Truth About Centralia." The IL
brary of Fermino Gallo, said to be
the most complete collection OF
anarchistic literature in the United
States, also was raided.
Every anarchist captured was
armed. Six raiders were detailed
to each arrest in view of the re-
puted desperate character of the
men sought.
Caminetta is disciple of Enrico
Malatestas, who founded the LEra
NsteVa group twenty-five years ago.
Bresci, the assassin of KING Hum
bert, of Italy, belonged to this
coterie. Malatesta came to this
country from Italy to spread the
propaganda of terrorist -individu-
alist" anarchy. He was highly ed
ucated and was said to be mem
Der of a title family of Italy,
Caminetta formerly edited the
anarchist magazine II Bolletino de
LEra Neuva in New York. 1t was
confiscated during President
RoOsevelts administration, but re-
appeared in Paterson.
The L'Era Neuva group is affil-
lated with the Ferrer club and the
"Insortas."
During the silk dyers' strike in
Paterson in 1902, the anarchistic
principle of the L'Era Neuva led to
much rioting and bloodshed.
Caminetta is described by the
federal authorities as "a fluent,
vitrolic writer on anarchists sub
jects and always typifies in his
writings the principles and teach
ing Of his master, Malateata." After
Malatesta's Punishment from the
United States Caminetta was his
chief representative in this country
and was in constant communication
with him, 1t is charged.
Recent excerpts from La Jac-
auerie said: ooh, assassins of the
prolataria, to you, not the evil
wishes but the promise in the not
far future, we shall entertain you
on the barricades."
The men arrested in this raid,
federal agents asserted, are Not
like the Russian workers or COM
munists. They seek their ends
through the use of bombs and other
engines of destruction to create
terror and fear. They are disciples
of Prodhan, Kropotkin and later
Rankunin, whose propaganda OF
violence resulted in heavy loss of
life in Marseilles, France, during a
strike there"
