EDEARDO CAFFARO

EDEARDO CAFFARO, proprietor and editor of II Lavoratore Italiano, an Italian weekly newspaper published in Pittsburg, Kan., was born in Trausella, Italy, the 17th of June, 1878. Trausella is a small town in northern Italy, close to the France and Switzerland boundary. He received his elementary education at Trausella, graduated from the high school at Ivrea, and took the degree of the technical institute in Turin in 1898. In the same year he entered the University of Turin, where he studied engineering and mathematics until 1901. He landed in the United States (New York) in 1904, and made his home in Colorado until 1905, when he came to Pittsburg, Kan., where he has been ever since.

Just previous to his coming to Pittsburg he was instrumental in the transfer of II Lavoratore Italiano from Trinidad, Colo., to Pittsburg, Kan. Under his management II Lavoratore Italiano has made great progress, and it is to-day one of the largest publications of any weekly Italian newspaper in the United States, which gives itself entirely to the betterment of the laboring class.

II Lavoratore Italiano belongs to no political class, and never from its beginning took part either for or against any one of the political parties; always ready in a fearless and conscientious way to stand for that which is just, and for the advancement and welfare of what its name implies— the Italian laborer—in this great land of America.—By Dr. U. A. D. Collelmo.
