SINN FEM PRISONERS
OBJECT TO JAIL FARE

ers in Dundal and Belfast have gone

Edward De Valera, who is informed
in Lincoln Jail, England, sent out
word to his followers that they were
not thus to relieve the government
of the necessity for providing food,
and this direction being obeyed the
prisoners had to fall back on the
ordinary prison fare.
