Prison Head Brutality
Beats Inmates
lspseIaI to rhe oalIy worked

ALBEMARLE, N. c., Nov. 29.-Tales
of most brutal and revolving bestings
of Negro convicts for minor infringe
ments of prison discipline are now
being related in the trial of M. c..
Hanford, Stanley county convict SUI
perintendent. Witness after witness
that has been called to the box have
described the cruel beatings that Han
ford has given Negro conyicts.
Die Within Few Hours
Many Of the convicts were beaten
so numerically that they died within
a few hours of the beatings.
Two of the white convicts in the
prison testified that they had seen two
Negroes beaten by the superintendent
in one afternoon and that both of
these men died on the same night.
Died From "overheat."
DR.. c. M. Lentz testified that he had
examined the negroes on the evening
of their death and denied that these
men were beaten and stated that the
prison superintendent and the war
dens had told him that the men had
died from "overheat."
The Judge scored this attempt Of
the doctor to make light Of the death
Of these two Negroes and asked him
whether he had ever heard of any ne
groes dying from "overheat."
1t was finally brought out that the
men had died as a result of the
wounds inflicted by the inhuman beat
ing delivered them much to the dis
comfiture of the Jail superintendent.

new BETRAYAL
Miners Heads Consider
Proposal Today

HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. 29.-Gov.
Pinchot Of Pennsylvania is again try
ing to betray the anthracite miners
into arbitration as he did in 1928.
In a proposition laid before Presi
sient John Z. fesfg ana siIe scals cor ri
mittee Of the miners union. who are
to consider it Monday, Pinchot makes
the first move for betrayal, the first
proposal always made by an enemy
Of any strikers-"go back to work at
existing conditions, and accept the
award of arbitration when it is made
LATER
Grants no Concessions.
Pinchot proposes no concession to
the union and his proposals may well
have been written by the mine own
ers. Not only no concessions are
given, but he asks the miners to bind
themselves to at least a flve-year con-
tract in a time when the cost of living
is steadily rising.
Pinchot's main bid for the support
of his anti-union scheme is his pro-
pOhdA LudL uuu6I dil CAICuuloA dUCeS
there be no increase in price. He
plays up artfully the alleged interests
of the consumers"
But the governor offers very little
understanding in fact-to the union.
He creates a board of arbitration" of
two from each side. these four to
choose three more impartial mem
bers, all seven to decide whether the
operators can pay increase in wages
without an advance in the price of
coal" The award to be made in six
months, retroactive to the resumption
of work.
Wants Open Shops.
Pinchot's proposal gives no comfort
to those who thought that he would
agree to sponsor the union check-off
Of dues and thus get, formally, at
least, a closed shop. He says:
Full recognition of the union, the
eheck-off, shall not be granted by the
operators, but any operator shall
honor the voluntary individual writ
