SEVERE PUNISHMENT
TO BE VISITED ON THE STRIKING
CoNvICTs
Money for More Guards to Be Raised
by Shutting Down on Tobacco
and Sugar

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-The state
board OF prison directors has determin
ed the punishment to be imposed upon
the convicts who took part in the recent
strike at San Quentin prison. About
forty of the ringleaders will be kept in
solitary confinement on bread and
water diet for at least three months. All
the other prisoners who refused to obey
orders will be subjected to similar treat
ment until the next meeting of the d.
rectors on June IL. For at least year
the allowance of tobacco and possibly
sugar and syrup will be cut Off. Accord.
ing to the present custom, each convict
is given one large plug Of tobacco as he
enters the jute mill every Monday morn
ing. The annual cost Of this LUXURY to
the state is $1,000. 1t is proposed to use
this money in the future in the employ
ment of eleven extra guards.
The prisoners consume at least twen-
ty barrels of sugar and many gallons
Of syrup each month. The cost Is con-
siderable, and it is now proposed to do
away with all these luxuries for at least
one year. This step will insure a saving
to the state of at least $4,000. The re-
strictions as to tobacco and sugar will
also be made at Folsom.
