CHAMPION
MILITANT
FOR RIOTS
BY ANNIE KENNY.
The OriginaUyiilitant.
The policy of the Somen's Social
and Political Union, the militant or
ganization, is the attack on property,
Amce KsMJie
and on property alone. This policy
has undergone no change.
The policy of attacking human life
is left to the militant opponents of

GIVES HER REASONS
IN LONDON
women continue to respect human
life.
But their warfare on property has
been intensified by the government's
recent measures of coersion.
What are we going to do? We have
got to fight on ! I should like to see on
the sandwich boards all over Londo.n
the phrase, "Wanted More mili
tants!" No woman ought to go out without
a hammer in her pocket. You who
cannot break vindows, for goodness
sake get on with something else! Ev
ery one can "do" a pillar-box. It is
the duty of every suffraget to go on
attacking and attacking, whenever
they can do so without being caught.
We must not be keen on getting ar
rested. We must get off, if we can,
so we may go on doing more damage.
We-must make it like a siege. We
must make London absolutely intol
erable to the average citizen until the
average citizen will fill Palace Yard
to tell the government that women
will have to have the vote at once.
There are five and a half million
working women in England who go
out to earn their daily bread. Yet the
"antis" have the face to cry, "Wo
men's place is in the home!" I am
thankful as an industrial worker that
the working women of the country
are prepared to fight every inch of the
way, if need be, to win for themselves
the liberty which men have found so
necessary in order to win reform and
bring about better conditions for their
sex!
Can any working man who rightly
insists that his point of view shall be
heard in the house of commons think
that we working women should be en
tirely unrepresented? Laws are being
made regulating the labor of women
in various ways; it is utterly wrong if
those laws are passed by men not re
sponsible in any way to the women
for whom they legislate.
