Number Fifty-Six July 17 1920 FRANK P. O’HARE’S BULLETIN. Room 1011 Holland Bldg Saint Louis Missouri It was a grand experience to meet face to face scored of warm friends of the Bulletin; and Mrs. O’Hare and I had this great privilege in Chicago, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Atlanta and other points. Wonderful people, all of them. Getting back home July sixth I found that Dick had reams of letters neatly piled up for me to read and answer. I can only thank the many writers for their wonderful letters. I regret that personal replies are out of the question at this time due to press of work. This issue of the bulletin closes the matter of the fight for freedom for Kate O’Hare. The Bulletin readers may take full credit for the victory. If it were not for you all Kate O’Hare would be sweltering in the prison factory this hot day. Your combined wisdom and enthusiasm and punch turned the trick. How much we are in your debt! Zeuch, and Roewer and the boys at Bowman [North Dakota] did the conspicuous work, but had it not been backed up by the efforts of thousands who kept in touch with the case through the bulletin their labor would have been less fruitful. What good guessers you are! The receipts up to date wipe out the deficit! The value of the machinery and supplies on hand balance the small cash deficit. We rejoice with Ella Antoline in the news that the deportation warrant against her has been cancelled by the Department of Labor. Mr. L. E. Smith’s brief was masterly, and his argument was concurred in by Department. Selah! Now that the first main object of the Bulletin has been accomplished and Mrs. O’Hare has complete freedom of locomotion and utterance, we bulletineers can tackle the next obvious piece of work. All political prisoners, (persons incarcerated for opinions or mere utterances) must be freed. Also conscientious objectors. Then the fight for prison reform must be taken up." I have in mind for the next few months a monthly issue of the Bulletin. Perhaps it would be well to put it on a business basis by placing the subscription price at, say ten cents per month – which will cover the cost of production. The next issue of the bulletin will contain a letter from Mrs. O’Hare to you, outlining her future efforts on behalf of prison reform or reconstruction. If you change your address be sure to drop me a postal.. A number of friends ask if the bound volumes may still be secured. Yes. I have been able to assemble 200 more sets. When these are gone no more! B56 2pp., p.1.

| Description | In 1912, Frank O'Hare became editor of the Rip-Saw, a socialist monthly issued from St. Louis. He was married to the prominent socialist Kate Richards O'Hare, who was imprisoned during World War I (April 1919 - May 1920) for opposing the draft, and whose penitentiary experiences led her to work toward extensive reforms in women's prisons. Frank and Kate also organized the Children's Crusade for Amnesty in 1922, which involved the children of political prisoners and draft obstructers marching to Washington to gain their parents release from prison. In this Bulletin, Mr. O'Hare provided an update on the events surrounding Kate's release from prison and their future plans. |
