Description:
On August 7, 1915, Emma Goldman and her partner Ben Rietman were arrested for distributing birth control information, a violation of the Comstock Law. Emma was preparing to speak, having been introduced by C.E.S. Wood, when she was arrested by a plain clothes policeman and taken downtown. Wood bailed her out but she and Rietman received $100 fines. Emma spoke two more times in Portland, once against World War II, and the other time against monogamy.
