Alexander Berkman (November 21, 1870 – June 28, 1936) was an anarchist known for his political activism and writing. He was a leading member of the anarchist movement in the early 20th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Berkman

This was during the mine strike in Colorado that led to the infamous Ludlow Massacre a few days later -- Berkman and the Wobblies had been leading solidarity demonstrations in New York in support of the miners, and this was likely one of those, I would guess.
