PRISONERS STRIKE
TO GET MORE MUSH
City Chain Gang Wants the RAJ
tions Increased Because
of Hard Labor

OAKLAND Sept 20.-Made rebellious
by what they considered starvation"
rations, the prisoners comprising the
city prison chain gang went on a strike
this morning, demanoIpg more graham
mush for breakfast before they would
climb into the Gagged wagon to be taken
to the city quarry at McAdam street
and Broadway.
Captain of Police Lynch was called to
the Jail yard by the distracted jailers
and after argument had failed to melt
the obdurate prisoners he quelled their
mutiny by threatening the recalcitrants
with solitary confinement and bread
and water diet.
The insurrection in the city jail had
been brewing for several days. Cap
tain Lynch received an anonymous note
through trusty the other day COM
planning that the morning rations were
not sufficient to nurture hard work
ing human rock crusher. He disre-
garded- the plant, being jealous of his
rights as wafder of the chain gang.
and forgot about the communication
until this morning.
1t seems that the leaders of the
strike had fomented the discomfort in
the gang and this morning when the
chain gang wagon was backed up to
the, Jail yard gate the whole crew OF
misdemeanor offenders refused to
bulge.
The eloquence and threats of the
jailers brought no change in the priS-
oners' demeanor. The captain, who is
the court of last resort in the city
prison, was summoned, and his NINA
tory attitude quieted the insubordinate
vagrants
This was the second strike in the
chain gang, the men having recently
refused for an hour 10 work Sunday
because they said they had not time to
take their weekly baths. There is only
one bath tub in the main Jail which
the chain gang inhabits.
