ON A HUNGER STRIKE

The Twelve /. w. w. members held
in the Shawnee county Jail at Topeka
for trial next fall, are Furnishing
themselves by turning down hot bis
cults, fried potatoes, syrup and hot
coffee. They are turning down other
meals also, with a menu just as appe-
tizing as that provided for breakfast
The hunger strike" started Wednes-
day morning and unless it is broken
the bunch will have their first Topeka
meals to eat. It's a peaceful strike
says Jailer Hixon, who thrives on the
same sort Of grub. The first time,
however, the prisoners looked over
the bill of fare, they tossed the hot
biscuits out of the window and bat
tered up the tin dishes. Since that
they have refused to accept the food
at the door. They say they have been
on Jail grub for eighteen months and
want something else. ..
Those fellows should stay on that
''hunger strike" until Gabriel blows
his horn.
