Biography

Page 4’s Portland correspondence names Greta Akin among an Albina relief-station committee facing arrests while protesting complete stoppage of relief. It reports thirteen committee workers arrested April 10 and four more April 11, without allocating Akin to an exact day. A special thug tore her coat; the report describes collective self-defense and suspended $5 fines.
