Today -100: March 24, 1920: Of suffrage, general strikes, and sawing

Warrington of Sussex County” being the most anti-suffrage name ever, Silas J. Warrington of Sussex County claims to support suffrage himself but his district really hates women, so.

Live by the general strike, die by the general strike: the German government, restored to power by the refusal of workers and much of the bureaucracy to work with the Kapp Putsch regime, gives in to various demands of the left. Noske resigned yesterday but now the entire cabinet will be Socialist until general elections can be called.

Headline of the Day -100:

The Chief Secretary for Ireland, Ian Macpherson, claims it was the crowd that opened fire on the soldiers, not the other way around.
