Description
In the year following this “debate” between the revolutionary trade unions of the I.W.W. (and the Federazione) and the reformist A.F. of L., Joseph Ettor became one of the leaders of the Lawrence “Bread and Roses” strike of 1912.
It was fateful that Giovannitti, who later joined Ettor and Joseph Caruso in that strike, would write the preface to the record of this debate. Arturo Caroti had long been the administrator of Il Proletario and the FSI’s official propagandist in 1904–05, as well as a strong partisan of Tresca personally and politically, admiring the latter as a “man of action, courageous to the point of recklessness . . . always in the front lines of the proletarian struggle. . . .”
This is Mario De Ciampis’s personal copy, with his name written at the top of the front wrapper. See De Ciampis’ connections to Che cosa è il I.W.W.?, Il Proletario, Unionismo industriale e sindacalismo, and Cinquantesimo Anniversario 1908-1958. La Parola del Popolo).
