Get Eight Hours

for guards at the Penltentiary and

Is no definite assurance that the funds
could be made up out Of the prison
appropriations until the final report
for the year is completed. This will
be>very soon.

port, and then, If the plan is feasible
financially, lay it before the Governor.

the start it is the purpose to let the
eight-hour day apply to guards sta
toned on the wall. in the yards and

shops and number of other EN-.
ployes.
The board retired the first prison

six years old, who has given 2s years
OF faithful service, Warden Sweezey
said. He is failing in health and

quested the retirement He will re
ceive $3.50 year, or half his present
salary The board Is authorized to
retire two more guards under the
law, but Hamil was the only applicant.
