It really does a great job of covering Billery Clintons.

The Yang part of the equation is reportedly having billy goat tantrums because the Yin boss (Huma) is limiting his access to his worse half, especially when he calls to bitch about poor decisions by Hill's top aides. Like Huma.

New York, New York - A Reporter Tells of Travels with Mother Jones in West Virginia

Mother Jones, Miners Angel .jpg

From New York City, a reporter describes, for the Pittsburgh Evening Leader of Kansas, a journey with Mother Jones throughout West Virginia. The reporter describes a similar journey with Mother in 1901, back before Mother's break with John Mitchell, while she was still employed as an organizer for the United Mine Workers. Who sponsored this trip, the reporter does not say, nor is the identity of the reporter revealed, but what is made obvious is the love of the coal miners and their wives for Mother Jones, the Miners' Angel.

Hellraisers Journal: Review of John Spargo's "The Bitter Cry of the Children,” Enslaved at Ages 4 & 5!


Capital has neither morals nor ideals; its interests are always
and everywhere expressible in terms of cash profits.
Capital in the United states in the twentieth century calls for children
as loudly as it called in England a century ago.

From The New York Times: "The Children of the Poor," Part II

In its March 3rd edition, the Times published an in-depth review of the newly published book by John Spargo which documents the suffering of the millions of children who are born and reared in poverty within our great American prosperity. Yesterday we present part one of that review, entitled "Children of the Poor." We conclude the article today with part two.

New York, New York - Socialists and Trade Unionists Rally to Defense of Moyer and Haywood

Mother Jones, Miners Angel .jpg

Two thousand Socialists and trade unionists, watched over by one thousand bluecoats, gathered in the city of New York last night to protest the arrests and attempted judicial murder of Charles Moyer and Bill Haywood, officers of the Western Federation of Miners. One of the speakers was Mother Jones who stated:

We stand in the dawn of the world's greatest war...It will be the war between the robbed and the robbers, and the robbers will go down. When they talk of hanging Moyer and Haywood, now why didn't they talk of hanging the men who shot down innocent working men in Virginia? Why don't they talk of hanging the commercial pirates who are murdering the little children in the mills of the South?.....

If they force us to shoot they will find that they never struck such a band of fighters as the American workingmen.

From The New York Times: Socialists Rally Behind Moyer and Haywood

From the Times of March 12th:

SAYS SOCIALISTS MUST ARM.
----------

Ex-Mayor of Haverhill Wants Them to
Fight to Save Moyer and Haywood.

Socialist Party of America Button.gif

A appeal was made at yesterday's meeting of the Central Federated Union By John C. Chase, Former Socialist Mayor of Haverhill, Mass., for co-operation with the Socialists in protesting against the punishment of President Moyer, Secretary Haywood, and other officers of the Western Federation of Miners, who were arrested in connection with a number of murders, including the assassination of ex-Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho. These men are now in jail in Boise City. Capitalists and corporations were denounced impartially by Chase. He said that the unions at a meeting last Thursday decided on a perpetual agitation on behalf of the imprisoned men and asked to attend the first conference to push along the agitation which will begin in the Grand Central Palace to-morrow. Referring to Moyer and Haywood, he said:

If these two men are hanged, and if any man in this body, or any other body of the kind, is not then willing to shoulder a gun and fight for his class, he is a coward.

New York, New York - Agreements Reached in Needle Workers Strike But Arrests Continue

From the Pittsburgh Daily Post:

ILGWU, NY, March 1916.png

Agreement Signed by
Garment Workers
-----

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-An agreement was signed today which it is believed will end the needle workers' strike in this city. It is expected that a majority of the 40,000 strikers will return to work within a few days, although some of the independent manufacturers have not signed the agreement.

The principal features of the agreement provide for "a preferential union shop," a working week of six days, with an aggregate of not more than 49 hours, and a maximum overtime of four hours, and a provision that Mayor Mitchel's council of conciliation shall be the final court of resort on any differences which may arise.

New York, New York - Kept Press Mocks Mother Jones, Strike Remains Strong

Mother Jones, Wilmington (OH) Daily News, Jan 24, 1916, alignd.png

The strike of garment workers in New York City remains strong despite the efforts of the Kept Press to discredit Mother Jones, play up the discontent of a few strikers, and advertise scab products. Efforts by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union to successfully conclude the strike continue unabated.

From Ohio's Wilmington Daily News of February 16, 1916:

Mother Jones Appeals To Strike Breakers in New York
But Her Efforts Are Fruitless
-----

New York, Feb. 16-Mother Jones made a whirlwind chase about the city to induce strikebreakers taking the places of the waistmakers and children's dressmakers who are on strike to walk out of the shops. She was accompanied by a committee of the Women's Trades Union league, but failed to induce any to them to join her cause. Charles L. Berman, secretary of the strike committee, said that 7,000 workers returned to their places, their employers having acceded to the unions demands.

New York, New York - Mother Jones on Hand to Aid "Lawless" Women Strikers

Mother Jones, Boston Globe, Jan 30, 1915.png

Mother Jones is on the scene in New York City where authorities are outraged that thousands of needle trades workers stand accused of behaving in a disorderly manner and showing contempt for proper Law and Order.

"I am becoming tired of the lawlessness of these strikers, especially the women!" declared Magistrate Murphy.

The strike, led by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, has been on since about February 8th. Union officials make the counter-charge that strikers have been roughly handled while performing their strike duties out on the picket line.

Attempts to settle the strike are ongoing.

Transgender New Yorkers protected, for now

This past Wednesday New York's state Division of Human Rights adopted regulations proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in October that add transgender status to the list of factors protected by the state Human Rights Law, which was first adopted in 1945.

The Human Rights Law prohibits employers, businesses or housing providers from discriminating against someone based on a wide variety of factors, including age, race, creed and color.

Today we are sending the message loud and clear that New York will not stand for discrimination against transgender people. It is intolerable to allow harassment or discrimination against anyone, and the transgender community has been subjected to a second-class status for far too long.

The regulations make clear that the word “sex” refers not only to gender, but also “gender identity and the status of being transgender. Since the Human Rights Law prohibits discrimination based on sex or disability, the regulations make clear those protections apply to transgender individuals and those with gender dysphoria, too.

--Gov. Cuomo

Brooklyn, New York - Elizabeth Gurley Flynn Lectures on Limitation of Birth

Saturday's Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported that the I. W. W. organizer, Gurley Flynn, addressed a Brooklyn audience Friday evening on the subject of birth control. As is usual when covering events conducted by members of the Industrial Workers of the World, the Eagle must first begin by mocking the event before briefly describing Miss Flynn's presentation:

About a half-hundred half-grown boys and girls with a sprinkling of adults listened with avid interest to a talk by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the I. W. W. leader, on the subject of limitation of births last night. The meeting was held in Plaza Hall, Grand and Havemeyer streets, with the avowed intention of teaching poor mothers to improve their economic condition. The interest continued until an effort was made to collect the 15-cent fee, with which it was hoped to defray the expenses of the lecture, when there was a rush to get out.

The lecturer scheduled for the evening was Mrs. Margaret H. Sanger, who is expounding her doctrine on the subject taken up by Miss Flynn in various parts of the country. She was ill, however, and could not keep her engagement. Dr. Frank Harris made an address touching upon the same subject from the view point of a medical practitioner. Dr. Joseph Slavitt presided.
