In the study of reform of law
violators, women prisoners have
always presented special prob
lem.
In Wayne county, male pris-
oners are worked on roads in the
summer time and plans are un-
der way to work them on stone
crushers in winter. This labor
gives them opportunities to en-
joy fresh air and exercise dur
ing the time they are being kept
away from influences which
caused their arrests. The men
enjoy the work and all come
out better men than they were
when they were arrested" said
a Chicago prison reform expert
on his visit here recently.
Serve Terms In ldleness.
With women, the problem is differ.
ent. Although the jail at the Home
Of the Friendless il under efficient
management, county officials have not
established any kind Of work for fe-
male prisoners. Thus, the women are
forced to serve out their sentences In
complete idleness.
The number Of women prisoners is
not AS great az that of men, yet as
was demonstrated by the recent grand
Jury investigations, their crimes are
no less varied and dangerous.
It is recognized that women are
harder to reform than men, The fact
that man often sinks to the lowest
depths and climbs back to a safe and
honorable position in society while a
woman rarely does, is worthy of study.
Women Deserve Attention.
Practically all attention has been
devoted to male prisoners. Women
prisoners also need attention.
Idleness is recognized as detrimental
to character building. Then 1t must
follow that idleness of women prison.

are preparing to obey the railroad
strike order.
They are viewing the latest move of
their brotherhood chiefs quietly. They
have been prepared for the order since

to the strike has been learned long
ago.
Officials of the Richmond division
OF the Pennsylvania are preparing for

conference of rail chiefs in Columbus
yesterday. When he returned he
issued orders covering the strike to
office men and others not affiliated

They predict that 95 percent of the
freight service employees will obey the
call and that smaller percentage of
the passenger men will go out.
Not many of the passenger conduct
ors will go out, they believe, but other
classes in the passenger service will
remain loyal to the brotherhoods.
Conductors Face Hard Choice.
Passenger conductors, many OF
whom are close to the pension age
are between "the devil and the deep
blue sea-" it is pointed out. If they
strike they lose their pension rights.
