MILITARY PRISONERS DEMAND SQUARE
DEAL--.CLAM DIRECTORS ARE FAVORED

Washington, Feb. 7.-As result
OF a strike of 1900 military prison
ers in the army prison at Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan, Secretary of War
Baker has been compelled to heed
their complaints of gross injustice
In trials by court martial during the
war.
So grave was the situation for a
few days that General Leonard Wood
commander of the central depart
ment, rushed troops to Leavenworth
to guard against any outbreak.
Colonel Sedgwick Rice finally eff
fected truce with the striking
prisoners pending submission of
their grievances to Washington. He
arrived in the capital Wednesday
and conferred with Secretary Baker,
Judge Advocate General Crowder and
Inspector General Chamberlain. The
matter was scheduled to be brought
to the attention OF congress today
with the prospect of immediate In
vestigation and reforms.
The report made by Colonel Rice
on the alarming conditions at the
Leavenworth military prison is re.
plete with concrete proof of the bar.

that all appeals to the military au-
thorities to right the injustice from
which they suffered had proved un-
availing and that their only recourse
was the refusal to obey orders, what
ever the punishment might be.

ers to work, Colonel Rice asked the
committee II the prisoners would
agree to obey orders pending his
presentation of their grievances to
Secretary Baker. The strikers later
went back to work while Colonel
Rice came to Washington.
! The prisoners also were aggrieved
by the recent act of the secretary OF
war by. which 125 conscientious OBJ
jectors were released. These object
ors had been confined for their re-
fusal in any way to aid the govern
ment in the prosecution of the war
They had not only refused to fight
but also had refused to do any worl
Of civilian nature. The striking
prisoners asserted that the recalcit

opposed to the principles on which
the government of the United State'
rests and to the cause which prompt

What further angered the prison
