Sentenced to Three Months, Goes on Hunger Strike
New York.--Sentenced to spend three months in jail as a result of her activities as an anarchist agitator and I.W.W. riot in Printing House square last April, Becky Edelson has started a hunger strike. The woman has not yet quit eating, however, and the date for the start of the strike is unknown. Alexander Berkman, her co-worker, said that if she starves to death his organization will hold the authorities responsible for her "murder."
