GOES HUNGRY
TO FIGHT LAW

NEW GORk.--MrS. Ethel Byrnc
faved death or insanity" in her hun
ger strike at Blackwell's island prison
"as protest against state laws
against birth control that cause the
death yearly of 5000 working moth
ers in New York and 100000 in the
nation" She is hunger striker be-
cause she has been denied the inher-
ent right to test the constitutionality
of that law Mrs, Margaret Sanger,
sister of Mrs. Byrne and co-defendant
in the birth control cases, declared re-
Gently in a statement The statement
follows:
BY MRS. MARGARET SANGER
To the people in the United States
who would like to know why my sis
ter was convicted and why she has
gone on hunger strike:
She has gone on strike, refusing all
food, drink and work, because she was
thrust into prison by a court which
denied her the inherent right to test
the constitutionality of law which
is the most outrageous piece of legis-
lation on the statute books today.
Law Never Tested
| mean the law forbidding the dis
semination of birth control informa-
ton. This archaic law, which has
been INFESTED on the statute books
since 1873, causes the death of more
than 5000 working mothers in New
York every year.
Similar laws in other states bring
the annual total to the terrible figure
of mothers dead through law-imposed
ignorance of nearly 100000.
These unfortunate women go to
their graves unnoticed and their
agonies and deaths unknown. Mrs.
Byrne feels that one more death laid
at the door of the government of this
state is of little consequence as a life.
But if such should be her lot and
if her strike should end in her death,
at least it shall be known that she
died because of this same law.
Appeal to Women
Women of the state of New York
and of the nation:
To let Mrs. Byrne die will be the
beginning of the end of your freedom
for another generation.
Already the hand of tyrrany has
throttled our every effort to obtain
justice. With you rests the power to
voice your feelings.
Birth control is practically a new
subject in the United States.
Birth control is not an attack on
the birth rate as such, 1t is a scien-
tifically just and humane effort to
prevent the birth of more children
than parents can endow with strong
bodies, sound minds and a fair chance
in the battle of life, Nothing more.
VIII Aid All Women
Birth control is a social principle
with a message to womankind, espec-
tally to working women, already en-
trapped as she is in the meshes of ig-
norance.
This ignorance is the lot of the
working woman alone. 1t is the
workingman, his wife and his family
that present the problems of this
generation. The women of wealth
can and have obtained this knowledge
and put it into practice, have been re-
lieved of oyer-burdened maternity and
are free to express the joy of life
which only welcome childhood and
voluntary motherhood can bring.

The Black Cossacks of Pennsylvania
are to be duplicated in every state of
tho Union if the well-laid plans of the
various manufacturers associations
and allied interests are not met by the
determined opposition of organized
labor The State constabulary-wh whose
chief reason for existence is to club
and shoot workers on strike--has been
so effective in its work in Pennsyl-
vana that other groups of employers
feel that they must have such a weap-
on in the various states. In New York
they are using every effort to push
legislation that will give them a State
constabulary. The pluto press is work
ing overtime to create public senti-
ment that will make the job of the
legislative lackeys of the employers
in putting through such legislation
an easy one. AS usual, however, they
are too stupid to cover up and their
editorials show what State constab-
ulary is expected to do-.terrorize the
workers on strike and protect strike
breakers.

SEATTLE.-C Carpenters Union No.
l31 has informed The district council
of carpenters that in its Judgment the
1917 wage rate should call for 70
cents an hour. The union also de-
ella ed that Curing the months of
November December, January and
February seven hours shall constitute
days work at seven hours pay"
The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1917-02-08

Orders have evidently gone out for
the plute press to commence to create
atmosphere that will make it compar-
atively easy to put down wages just
as soon as the war ceases. Papers all
over the United States are publishing
stuff calculated to prepare the public
mind for such move. 1t looks, how
ever, as if the job was not going to
ployers think. The unions are in
creasing their membership every day,
and, what is more important, the
fighting spirit of organized labor was
never aroused to the high pitch that
it is now.

HILLQUIT ONLY $50 VOTES
FROM VICTORY IN NEW YORK

Morris Hillquit, Socialist candidate
for Congress in the Goth Congression-
al district, Harlem, New York CITY.
was defeated at the last election by
his Republican opponent, Isaac Siegel
by the narrow margin of $50 votes.
After an informal recount. which
has just closed it was found that the
Socialist candidate had been deprived
of 255 votes in the official count which
could be detected, but since this was
not sufficient to elect, the proceedings
were not carried further.
The figures as they stand after the
recount for the various candidates in
the congressional race are:
Slegel (Republican) ,,..-...............4 1862
Hillquit (Socialist) .4,212
Rosenblatt (Democrat) ....-...........3 1896
How many votes were fraudulentlv
taken from Hillquit or given to his
opponent which could not be detected
in the examination of the ballot box
contents can only be estimated, but
the evidence of crooked work bv cleo
ton officials was so plentiful that it
is almost certain Hillquit was elected
according to the returns up to mid
night, and was counted out in the
early morning hours while the vote
was being held up at the command of
the Republican district leaders.

1t is easy to label oneself a Social

to be content with just being. One
ought to be something. In other words
the worthwhile Socialist proves by
his actions that he is of the active
