Reba Edelson Says She Did Not Eat as Workhouse Official Says She Did.
NEW YORK, July 25.—"Feed me forcibly
or let me out to get a square meal," was the plea today of Reba Edelson,
I. W. W. agitator, who declared for a hunger strike when she was take to the
workhouse a few days ago to serve a sentence. Becky confided to Dr. Katz, house
physician, that she was "sick and tired of this whole business."
"Do you mean that you want to get
out of here after your promise to starve to death?" asked Dr. Katz with much
concern.
"I
didn't eat as you said I did," declared Becky. “You are giving me a black
eye among Berkman, Tucker and other great men and I want to get out and tell
the world what a pack of liars you all are.”
