1 KILLED AFTER GARIBALDI MEET
Workers Provoked Into Fight By Misleaders
An antifascist worker, identified as S. Arena, Italian, was killed at the St. George Ferry Terminal as he was alighting from a train filled with other Italians returning from a stormy commemoration of Giuseppe Garibaldi in Rosebank. He was shot in the back of his head with a 32 calibre revolver.
The murder is an aftermath of two clashes between anti-fascist workers misled by Carlo Tresca, anarchist adventurer, and members of the Grand Lodge of the Sons of Italy.
This is a mass organization comprising several thousand workers, but is led by Italian-American fascists.
Carlo Tresca and Gerolamo Valente, the business manager of an Italian social-fascist paper printed here, organized a demonstration to commemorate Garibaldi at the home where he lived while in the United States. Garibaldi was a factor in the war for the unification of Italy.
The Grand Lodge of the Sons of Italy had also organized a commemoration of the "Italian Washington," as some of the self-styled anti-fascist leaders called him. This organization is in charge of the house where Garibaldi lived.
Poisoned by the mischievous propaganda of their leaders, the anti-fascist workers and the workers belonging to the Lodge of the Sons of Italy fought against each other.
Many were wounded and had to be taken to the Hospital. 80 were arrested.
Carlo Tresca and the other social-fascists claimed that the Sons of Italy organization had no right to commemorate Garibaldi. Tresca eulogized Garibaldi as "a true revolutionist".
