WOMAN ANARCHIST ON HUNGER STRIKE
NEW YORK, - July 21.—Having quieted
the mutinous male prisoners on Blackwell's Island, Commissioner of Prisons
Catherine Davis today had a hunger striker on her hands. Reba Edelson,
associated with the anarchist group, headed by Alexander Berkman, was removed
from the Tombs to the workhouse early today and at that time had not broken the
hunger strike she declared yesterday.
Miss
Edelson was sentenced to the workhouse for refusal to furnish $300 bail to keep
the peace for three months.
