News To Be Printed on
Brown Wrapping Paper
? "'East St. Louis Journal" Driven

of Car in Wreck
Special Correspondence
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 21.- Allen T. Spivcy,
Ppublisher of "The East St. Louis Daily
Journal," announced to-day that to?
morrow's issue of the newspaper would
1 be printed on light brown wrapping
paper, owing to the shortage of white
newsprint paper. Loss in a railroad
wreck of a consignment, of paper and
impossiblity of obtaining further loans
of white paper from the depleted sup?
plies of other publishers are respon?
sible for the innovation, the publisher
said. To-Uay's issu?? of "The Daily
Journal" was printed partly on bor?
rowed naner and partly on book paper
that alone cost more than the sale
price of the completed newspaper.
The proposed printing on wrapping
paper ranks with the publicatio33 of a
Memphis newspaper on wallpaper dur?
ing the Civil War and of "The Chi?
cago 'rimes'' on a handbill after the
Chicago fire, among the oddities of
newspaper production.

Pioneer Anarchists Leave
Crop of 60,000 Reds in U. S.
16 of Berkinan's 30 Years Here Spent in Prison and
Goldman Spent 3 in Cell; Treason, Bombs, Even
MeKinley's Assassination Laid to Their Teachings
I The deportation of Emma Goldman
| and her devoted companion, Alexander
| Berkman, ends a joint career of thirty
! years in the United States, during
j which they preached the overthrow of
| government by violence. He spent six?
teen years and she three in jail, but
they were never punished for the part
their teachings played in attacks by
ethers on life and property.
Berkman served fourteen years for
shooting Henry Clay Frick and two
years for urging young men to abstain
from registering for the draft early
in the war. Miss Goldman was in
prison two years for opposing con?
scription and one year for inciting
to riot. Berkman was never brought
to trial on an indictment for murder
in connection with the Preparedness
Day bomb outrage in San Francisco.
Miss Goldman was acquitted of illegal
distribution of birth control literature.
Their joint activities as publishers
of the anarchist magazines "Mother
Earth" and "The Blast," suppressed
during the war, combined with their
addresses at anarchists' meetings,
helped cause the assassination of
President McKinley, the government
charged in its deportation proceedings.
The confession oi Czolgosz described
the influence which Miss Goldman's
writings had on him.
Influenced Coast Dynamiters
Their influence was traced in the
dynamiting of "The Los Angeles
Times." Matthew Schmidt and David
Caplan, now in jail with others for
that crime, were "of the Goldman
I clan," Attorney General Palmer has
j said.
They wer? suspected of receiving
Cern?an money to oppose preparedness
: here before the United States entered
| the war.
They cooperated with German spies
| in endeavoring to promote a revolution
I in India during the war.
They were the pioneer radicals in
j the United States. Now there are 00,
000 "Reds" here and 47:2 disloyal for
: eign-language newspapers, according to
! Attorney General Palmer.
Denounced by judges and other pub?
lic officials from President Roosevelt
down as enemies of the country seek?
ing to destroy it, but regarded by wo?
men anarchists who greeted them with
kisses as "beautiful characters, a hun?
dred years ahead of their times." they
so increased their following that it
was easy for them to provide $15,000
or $25,000 bail in cash or Liberty bonds.
Yet fines of $10,000 each for opposing
the draft were unpaid. They had no
property, they said.
Deportation Urged 10 Years
For more than ten years their depor?
tation had been agitated and at times
seemed near, but no formal proceed?
ings for ttiis purpose wen? instituted
until the alarming radical activities
lof 1919, including the Seattle and Win?
nipeg general strikes, the sending of
I bombs through the mails to Attorney
| General Palmer and other prominent
men, the formation of branches of the
Communist party and plans for anar?
chistic demonstrations on the anniver?
sary of the formation of the Soviet,
Republic of Russia, which were frus?
trated by country-wide raids in Novem?
ber. These raids made a total of 697
anarchists seized by the United States
on deportation proceedings in the last
two years.
! When their co-workers, the Nihilists
in Russia, whence they came in youth,
evolutod into the Bolsheviki and formed
the Soviet government after the down?
fall of the monarchy, Berkman and
Miss Goldman championed a similar
government and social order for this
country. Berkman when surrendered
for deportation predicted that he would
return to the United States as Soviet
Ambassador and Miss Goldman proph?
esied a revolution here within live
years.
"American capitalists are the most
greedy in the world," she said, "and
when the time comes they are going
to pay a terrible price for it. A thun?
derous storm is brewing in the United
States."
Repudiated Violence in Court
Yet when given opportunity during
their many appearances in court- to air
their views they repudiated violence.
"The anarchist never advocates a
reign of terror," said Berkman. "An?
archism means the negation of violence.
Anarchists teach self-reliance, co?
operation and mutual aid in opposition
to existing institutions and authority."
In l-eply to one such exposition after
Berkman's conviction in New York for
opposing the draft the United States
Attorney said to the court:
"The court should know that this
man, who now claims to be for univer?
sal peace and says he is against the
use of violence, in 1892 went into Mr.
Prick's office ?in Pittsburgh i and tried
to shoot him down without giving his
victim an opportunity to defend him?
self. He shot him in the back as he
would a dog."
"The first terrorist act in America"
is the way Berkman described his at?
tack on Frick in his book, "Prison
Memoirs of an Anarchist."
Berkman's last hour of freedom in
this country expired early this month
in New York City while Henry Clay
Frick was being buried in Pittsburgh
and mourned as a public benefactor.
Goldman Forty-nine, Berkman Fifty
Emma Goldman is forty-nine years
old and Berkman fifty. She was born
in Kovno, Russia, and in early child?
hood removed with her parents to East
Prussia. When fifteen years old she
came to the United States and started
working in clothing factories in Roch?
ester, N. Y.
Recently asked who her relatives
were, .Miss Goldman replied: "I have
children all over the United States."
"They can't keep me out," she said
in 1907, when there was talk of de?
porting her. "I don't believe they
would be foolish enough to try. My
father is an American citizen. I mar?
ried an American citizen."
Her father came to the United States

he seems to have concealed his prior ;
history pretty well. When ha was re?
leased from the Western. Pennsylvania
prison after serving his time for
shooting Mr. Frick there were reports
that he had married Miss Goldman in
New Jersey, but the marriage was
never recorded and at their trial for
obstructing the draft both testified
they were single.
"I Represent the Devil"
"1 represent tiie devil." said Miss
Goldman at one of her meetings. "I
am an apostle upholding glorious
freedom, the apostle standing oui
against law and order and decency and
morality. I am for the devil who leads
the way to the absolute yielding up
to all the emotions here and now.
Women are the slaves of little laws
and conventions. They'll learn to
break the laws some day."
Berkman and Miss Goldman made
their headquarters in New York, where
their magazines were published, but
they were known in every large city in
the United States, and also addressed
anarchist meetings in Canada, England,
Australia. Holland and other countries.
These meetings enabled them to live
as comfortably as any despised capi?
talist would wish. Admission fees
were charged, circulars sold and sub?
scriptions to their magazines taken.
At the last meeting they addressed in
Chicago, prior to their deportation, the
contributions to help them light de?
portation were $5,000. Miss Goldman's
bankbook, seized when her magazine
was suppressed, showed weekly depos?
its running from $50 to $700, with one
of more than $3,700. They lived at the
best hotels. In fact, they offered to
pay their own way to Russia, or, fail?
ing that, the difference between steer?

best accommodations.
