Carlo Tresca, Italian political refugee, agitator, author, and editor, organized labor strikes across the U.S. through the International Workers of the World beginning in 1912. Tresca published an Italian American newspaper, "Il Martillo" (The Hammer) in which he criticized both communists and fascists. In 1922, an investigation of Tresca was initiated to determine the status of his U.S. citizenship, as well as his publication of an alleged obscene article in his newspaper. A security investigation was initiated in 1941 for violation of the Neutrality and Registration Acts.
