PRISONS yAMMED
twice. CAP ACITY,
FEAR EPIDEMIC
Government Gives No
Relief to Inmates

LEAvENwORTH, Kas.. April "a
The federal prison here is becoming
so crowded that special relief has
been asked from the department Of
Justice.
1t was also admitted by prison Of
ficials that other federal penitentiaries
were just as crowded.
Three thousand one hundred and
thirty-one prisoners is the population
Of the institution, with two carloads
on the way from California and In
diana.
Danger Of Epidemic.
There are only 1,400 one-man cells
here and it has become necessary to
double up and put cots in easements
to take care Of the overflow No
ground remains within the prison
walls to construct a new cell house.
The huge dining hall accommodates
1,240 and three breakfasts, dinners
and suppers are necessary to serve all.
With the danger Of epidemic pres
emit, some relief must be obtained
quickly, for Mcneil Island, in the
west, has discontinued receiving pris-
oners and Atlanta, Georgia, is report
ed to have at least 200 more than
capacity.
All Prisons overcrowxied.
SIX hundred more convicts are ex-
pected to "dress in" at Leavenworth
by July /.
All state institutions are reported
taxed to the utmost, and no state at
present can take over any prisoners,
as - sometimes done.
Two years at least would be re-
Quired for the construction Of new
penitentiary due to congressional en-
abling acts and red tape.

More Laws for Labor
All Right; But None
to Limit Profits

NSpeclat TO Inc 6aily WorkeF.l
AUGUSTA, Ca, April 24.-Emphatic
protest against the tendency Of the
American people to demand the en-
actment of laws "for all sorts of
problems better handled without 60
vernment interference" was voiced
before the executive council Of the
American Bankers Assn, in annual
session here.
The speaker ives Merle Thorpe,
editor of the official magazine Of the
U. S. Chamber Of Commerce. He ar
gued that business was becoming so
complex that these new laws create
Misunderstanding. Sound business,
for instance, could not see the logic
of asking for lower freight rates and
at the same time endorsing higher
railroad wages Government should
leave business to run things its own
way.
