"STRIKES' AND
JAILERS ARE PUZZLED

San Francisco, Calif.-Charles N.
Gould. prisoner at the county jail,
went on strike and he seems In fair
way to establish a complete lockout
against which the authorities will be
powerless.
Gould was sentenced to a term In
the county Jail for abandonment. ano
neglect Of his family. Superior Judge
Lawlor, who imposed the sentence
ordered that Gould be put to work
on the county roads and be paid a
dollar a day. The money was to be
turned over to his wife for the sup
port of their daughter.
Now, a court can both impose and
propose a sentence in an abandonment
case, but it appears that a prisoner
can dispose of the matter to suit
himself. Gould refused to go to work
and Sheriff Eggers telephoned to
Judge Iawlor. The court took the
view that Gould could not be COM
PEELED to go to work on the road for
a dollar a day, so his wife and dau-
ghter will not get his salary.
