Thirty-five prisoners in the
Alexandria jail went on strike
today.
They all refused to go to work
on the roads, even after Jailer
James T. SiIlex had given, them
breakfast of bread and water.
The trouble started last night
when the white prisoners, ten in
number, created disturbance by
kicking and pounding at their cell
doors.
RatiOns Wanted
Sergeant r. H. Cox, assistant to
Slick, tried to quiet the prisoners,
but his efforts were wasted. He
summoned Slick and told him the
men were tired of working on the
"chain gang" at road repairing.
The jailer threatened to make the
men go to work today without
breakfast, and after he handed
down this dictum, the men, white
and colored, decided not to go to
work at all.
Early today they refused to
bulge from their cells until they
had been properly fed. Slick
finally compromised by giving each
a ration Of bread and water.
Agree To End Strike
This action was followed by con.
ferences among the prisoners, who
told Sergeant Cox that they were
not satisfied.
Later in the morning, the situa-
ton seeming hopeless, the jailer
talked to the prisoners. and prom
ised them full rations il they would
go back to work. rile convicts
again took counsel from each other,
and advised Slick that the strike
would be ended at noon today.

is considered that the state board Of
health records show that TO- cases
were reported in the state in June:,

the utmost care in the prevention of
a spread of the disease.

the streets or from associating with
adults who-are not entirely well; hav,

possible; cleanliness as to food prepa,

gested by the state board of health
