Excerpt from The Trial of a New Society: Being a Review of the Celebrated Ettor-Giovannitti-Caruso Case, Beginning With the Lawrence Textile Strike That Caused It and Including the General Strike That Grew Out of It The Ettor-Giovannitti-Caruso trial at Salem, Mass., was t a trial of three men for murder. Nor was it merely the result of a conflict between capital and labor. It was the trial of a new society that is growing out of the old society w prevailing. Many are the proofs of this fact. The most striking is the able address of District Attorney Henry C. Atwill. He appealed to the jury to choke in its inception the new society as represented in the organization of which the three defendants are members. To hear Atwill, one was convinced that it was t Annie Lo Pizzo the three defendants were accused of having conspired to kill, but modern civilization, as represented by the good old commonwealth of Massachusetts. Other proofs as to the real nature of the trial were the remarkable series of events which attended it. It was felt and dimly recognized that the trial marked a new period in American history, and that it accordingly had to be decided by new means. The general strike was urged to this end. This advocacy created in the labor world a division of sentiment reflecting the new conditions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
