WOMANHOOD SUFFRAGE.

THE PRISONERS' TACTICS

RUINING THE CAUSE,

LABOUR MEMBER'S PROTEST,

London, June 27

Mr Ramsay Mac Donald, M.P., in a letter, vigorously protests against the suffragettes' disgraceful conduct in prison, which in no way represents the opinion of the majority of working svoni<on, whose well-being is cruelly sacrificed.

•'This tomfoolery," he says, "is .he creation of women who are able to throw £10,000 in a plate at Albert Hall at a minute's notice." He concludes by stating that the cause is being ruined.

Mr Pethick Lawrence has been leased from prison.
