N. Oak. Penitentiary
Short OF Prisoners

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2s.-North
Dakota will have to have more prison.
ers in its state penitentiary or close
its twine factory.
Today there are only 100 men in
prison. compared with a prison popu-
lation Of 347 about two years ago. BY
January 1, next, the number Of pris-
oners will be reduced to 81, and of
that number, IA are cripples and un-
able to perform any work.
Warden Frank Talcott announced
today that, as a means Of keeping the
twfne plant in operation. the state is
negotiating with the federal govern
ment for the transfer Of federal pris-
oners to the state penitentiary, but SO
far without success.
Until the question Of whether or
not there will be a sufficient number
Of men in the prison to man the twine
plant, the board Of control will not
contract for sisal.
The prison labor shortage is so keen,
Warden Talcott says, that outside
labor will have to be hired to care for
the crops.
