SPEECH IN CHURCH
Says "Pulpit Has Licked

in Liquor Fight.

New York, April 27.-William IL.
Anderson, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League. whose financial
relations with the organization are I'M
der investigation by the district at
torney's office, declared in an address
in the John Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church that the "hulabaloo"
over the leagues funds had resulted
from a conspiracy of % years stand
ing to get the names of active drys
in order that they might be bull
dozed.
Mr.. Anderson said he knew num-
bers of citizens who had been intimi-
dated.
For that reason, he said, the league
refused TO make public the names Of
its members.
The vets picked the court in which
to start the fight but we have selected
the court in which TO finish it," he
asserted.
Our league is powerful because
no one can control it. Tammany and
its Republican allies, including a
United States senator. have sought TO
make its efforts inocuous but with
out success.
The press has been an ally of the
vets in spreading propaganda, but in
the fight TO compel us TO reveal the
names of cur contributors it has
over-reached itself, neutralized its own
poison by an overdose of it. The two
greatest moulders of public opinion
are the press and the pulpit. but in
this case the pulpit has licked the

Establishment of the contract shirt fac

tiary at McAlester. where it is al
legged prisoners have been sweated and
inhumanly punished for failure to
perform allotted tasks, is under con-
sideration today by Governor j. c.
Walton.
: Charges of cruelties practiced on
prisoners employed in the factory
were made in a report filed yesterday
with the governor by o. Z. Heath,
president of the State Federation of
Labor, who investigated conditions at
the prison, by executive direction.
More than score Of affidavits made
by prisoners. telling in detail of al
legged acts of brutality, accompanied
the report.
After receiving the report, Governor
walton announced that he had vir-
.tually decided to do away with the
shirt factory. He said he would re-
serve definite decision until he had
had time to study the report.
The shirt factory, one of the prin-
cipal industries Of the prison, is OPP
Grated under a contract with a Chi
cago company. The company fur
nishes the machinery and raw ma
terials, while the state furnishes the
convict labor and guard supervision.
Bitter Fight BY Union.
Union labor organizations of the
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-04-27

state have conducted a bitter fight
against the system.
The Heath report sets out in de-
tail the various daily tasks required
of the shirt factory workers. On
the sleeve joining" task, according
TO the report, worker is compelled
to sew 1900 sleeves a day. computing
the average sleeve length at %
inches. The report estimates that.
TO complete 1900 sleeves. the worker
must sew solid strip close to $4,000
inches, or nearly three quarters of a
mile. On the task of "side seam
ing" the report estimates that $500
feet of straight sewing is required
in one day.
Affidavits of the prisoners charge
that, for failure to perform the al
lotted tasks, prisoners have been
cursed, beaten, strung IN by the wrists
for days, placed in solitary cOnfine-
ment. had their food allowance re-
duced for months at time, and have
been subjected to other abuses. Wo-
men prisoners, il is alleged. were
subjected to the same punishments.
Strung In 10 Days.
The report alleged that prisoners
were strung up by the wrists to the
bars of their cells for as long as
four days at a time with their feet
barely touching the floor, that others
were tied hand and foot and forced
to lie on the floor for hours. that
women were permitted to become
mothers without medical attention and
that many were denied bedding for
their iron cots.
Several of the prisoners from whom
affidavitS were obtained told of how
a youth had been strung up for nine
teen days. His mind weakened under
the torture and since he has not been
employed in the shirt factory, they al
legged.
Two of the affidavits related to
the death of prisoner known as
"Goldie."
My cell was No. % just above
the dungeon, where the man 'Goldie'
is supposed to have hanged himself"
said the affidavit Of John Pickett,
convict 9419. Il heard him hollcr-
ing and begging Mr.. Reed to not do
that any more and / supposed they
were beating him, and all of sud-
den he stopped hollering. The next
he was found dead and was
reported to have hanged himself"
Charlie Holden, convict 9055, who
said his cell was near the dungeon,
told virtually the same story.

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
Sears -Roebuck Company Plans to Organize Great Foundation for Benefit of Farming People.

Chicago, Nov. 21.--The establish ment of a Scars Roebuck agricultural research foundation to determine es- sential facts relating to the farming industry, was announced today by Julius Rosenwald, president Of the Sears Roebuck company.
 He said the foundation would be headed by the most capable men to be found in the agricultural research field" A field force also is contem- plated. The announcement set out that every phase of agricultural economies is to be studied.
 As business men" Mir. Rosenwald said, We feel under direct obliga- ton to do everything we can to im- prove the farmers condition. A careful survey has revealed to us that where the farmer needs help is in economies, in marketings his products.
 "The American farmer stands to- day as the most efficient farmer in the world. On production per man he has no equal. His problem is the disposal of the surpluses which he has piled up through better farming methods and it is essential that he reap fhe full reward for the use ot these improved methods"
