FIGURES
OF MILITARY DRAFT
Common Council Forwards Off,
cial Objection to Washington

Action endorsing the letter of pro-
test forwarded to state and federal
authorities concerning population
figures for the selective draft by
Mayor George A. Quigley within the
past few days, was passed at the
meeting of the common council last
evening. Alderman Angelo NJ Pao-
nessa and Councilman George M.
Landers, democratic members from
the sixth ward, are the sponsors for
the following resolution:
To His Honor, the Mayor, and
the Common Council of the
City of New Britain:
The undersigned beg leave to
recommend the adoption of the
following:
That the common council
unanimously endorse the protest
made by the mayor of the city
to state and federal authorities
against the manifestly unfair
quota essential to New Britain in
the selective draft, and, that a
copy of this resolution be sent to
the governor. and United States
senators and congressman.
GEORGE M. LANDERS,
A. M. PAONESSA.
1t was with amazement that the
local officials and tOwnspeopIe read
of the figures as given out by the
Washington authorities, recently, al
1eging this city to have a population
of over $4,000.
Councilman Landers has shown in
terest in the draft situation and he
was surprised to find such an excess
sive allotment for the draft put on
this city. The United States senators
from this state are aware of the in
justice being done the city, and in
a recent talk on the floor of the
senate, Senator Brandegee cited New
Britain as an example of the treat
ment which Connecticut was being ac-
corded.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the above resolution last evening" Aid
erman Curtis inquired as to what eff
feet it would have in Washington.
To this Councilman Landers replied
that the resolution would be spread
on the Congressional Record and
would show the feelings Of the res
idents of this city in regard to the
injustice being done them and would
also have its effect in case of a sec
ond draft.

| Work in Workhousc.
| Their morning meal was fried nom
! my, with gravy, wheat bread, black
| berry JAM coffee, sugar and cream
| AFTER breakfast it was announced
| to the Suffragists that the rain pre-
vented work in the farms blackberry
patch, where the berries are ripe and
| luscious, and that the Suffs were to
get busy in the sewing room.
But suppose" protested Miss Anne
Martin, who led the fight in the Po-
lice Court. I'VE don't know how to
sew"
That" said Warden Whitaker,
lis something we will soon teach
you"
So they all marched off to the sew
ing room where four of the more ex-
pert picked out machines and the
other twelve went to work with
needles and thread on a great pile
of material that is to become over
alls, trousers, skirts, underwear and
bed clothes for their fellow prisoners.
BY noon the Suffs were ready to
eat again. This time they had beef
and cabbage, buttered beets, string
beans, corn bread and water.
Again they were taken to the work
| room and did some more sewing. Al
o'clock they had a respite, and at
6 another meal was served of beef
stew, tea and bread.
Despite the hardships the sixteen
have undergone, there is not one OF
them willing that her fine should be
paid and she be released. In fact, it
was only after the greatest sore of
persuasion that the Suffs agreed to
have their cases appealed
Suffs Place Blame.
They are bitter in their denuncia-
ton Of the police authorities, but
charge that orders came from sources
much higher up In Administration
circles.
Mrs. ellison Gardner, one of the six
teen has no children, but her husband
is much concerned about her. fearing
she will not be able to stand the pris-
on fare.
My position in regard to my wife,
said Mr.. Gardner lis that l shall not
insist on paying her fine. Mrs. Card
ner is a free agent, acting on her own
judgement. l shall not try to change
her.
II was at the prison today. and
found her and all the rest of the
women suffering from the indignities
heaped upon them. The Suffra gists
were put in the same dormitory with
negroes last night. They were not
allowed to have their toilet articles
They will be given nothing that they
cannot carry on their persons. They
have to wear old clothes used by
prisoners but cleaned and made sani-
tary. A man would not recognize
his wife in them.
1T looks as if the Government is
afraid it will serve the women in
some way. The prisoners will be pei
mitted to write only two letters a
month. They cannot see their friends
nobody but relatives. The food is
not attractive to them. What is good
for a drunken negro is not good for a
refined woman. One young woman
baked at the food today and cried,
L don't know how long they can
stand the fare.
