From 1902 until 1909 the FORA (''Federacion Obrera Regional Argentina'') was founded by Italian immigrant Pietro Gori, an Italian anarchist who waged a long campaign of general strikes against the Argentinian government. The militant workers were influenced largely by Pellicer Paraire’s series of articles on Labor Organization in ''La Protesta Humana''. In May 1904, a clash between workers and police left two dead and fifteen injured. In 1907, the feminist-anarchist league was established in Buenos Aires. Toward the end of the decade there arose a situation in which the brutality of the police authorities and the militancy of the workers incited each other to greater heights, until, on May Day, 1909, a giant gathering marched through the Argentinian capital and was broken up by the police, who inflicted some 12 killed and a hundred wounded.
