Anarchist John Turner Visits Chicago as Leader and Critic
A mild mannered English anarchist, John Turner, who led English retail clerks and is seen as a radical reformer, arrived in Chicago amid deportation talks. He condemns government while praising liberty, plans to return to England, and criticizes U S. free speech and laws against anarchists. Turner rose from a free thinker to socialist and then anarchist, shaping a controversial yet cultured profile. Also notes Manchuria's latitude and a medical claim about masks at masquerades and a comparison to North American grain states.
