OCCOQUAN. Va. Aug. 20.-Six
woman's party pickets doing their bit
thirty days in the workhouse here
went on severely strict program
today.
The latitude previously allowed
their sisters, had vanished. In its
place was a set of grim rules. The
six are almost tncommunicado. None
but relatives or their attorney, can
visit them and then only twice a
month. They can have nothing but
the usual prison fare, and they can
do their share Of scrubbing, sewing
or gardening, just the same as others.
The women are finding It hard to
eat the prison fare, but they have not
gone on a hunger strike yet.
Representative Baer, North Dako-
ia, who has introduced a resolution
asking for an investigation into pick
citing and means taken to prevent It..
was expected today to make a person
al inquiry into conditions.
