Special Dispatch to The Star
SAN FRANCISCO. Calf, August 3.
A strike has broken out in San
Quentin Prison. The participants are
eight leading members of the 1. W. W.
Serving terms under the state GRIM
inal syndicalism' law, they have re-
fused to work In the jute mill. Their
protest Is that, as they are political
prisoners, they cannot be forced to
come into competition with free la Dor.
| The eight were asked today whether
! they were willing to return to work
after having been locked in the prison
dungeon since yesterday.
| SO long as have strength enough
| to refuse l will maintain my posi-
! tion, was the reply of the leader,
Jack Gaveel. His followers nodded
their assent. They were then sep
arated and placed in solitary confine-
| ment while the warden ordered that.
until they announce their willingness
to go to work. they are to be kept on
| a bread -and-water diet,
| The prison officials say that they
expect the strike will be broken as
soon as the new course of treatment
has did it's effect Others have tried
the same stunt. they declare, but
| never successfully.
However convicts in whom the mon
| confided before they announced their
position declare that they were de-
termined to hold out. According to
| them Gaveel said:
I'VE are not ordinary prisoners. We
! were convicted under a law written
| into the state statutes as an emer
| gency war measure and which now is
| being used for oppression in times of
peace. The government Is strong
| fn
| it cannot bring US into competition
with free labor. We will not work
no matter how long they keep US in
the dungeon.
The eight of us are not criminals
| We were arrested and convicted for
expressing our opinions. These
opinions may be wrong, but we do
not think so. We have never de-
| clared opposition to the prison Of
ficials. but we do want to draw the
fact that here in California a man
cannot express his opinions without
being arrested and compelled to
work.
Warden James Johnstone stated to-
day that he has only the one way to
dungeon. This is a brick building
above the ground, but practically
dark. The interiors of the cells are
very gloomy. Unless the doctors so
order. the bread-and- water diet is
not varied. When it is, 1t il by the
addition of vegetables.
IT cannot review the cases Of any
men sent here" said the warden to-
day. THE courts pass on these cases
My work Is to make rules for the
guidance Of the inmates and then en-
force such rules. That is what I am
doing in this case"
| GaveeIs fellow strikers are John
Golden, Harold Walton. Michael j.
| Dunn, Patrick Casey. Jack Martin.
John Harmon and George Ryan. They
claim American birth and citizenship
A number of men convicted with
them are under bond pending appeal
