MUCH UNEMPLOYMENT
IN FIFTH DISTRICT

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, October 1.-The
labor situation in the fifth reserve dis
trict varies considerably in different
localities, says the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond. in it's monthly re-
port and states that conditions in Bal
timore are rather acute. Other cities
in the district also report a number
of unemployed workers, but there is a
difference Of opinion regarding the ex-
tent of general unemployment at the
present time, the report states.
CONSTRUCTION work is under way in
considerably less volume than year
ago and a considerable number of
both skilled and unskilled workmen in
the building trades are unable to find
employment" it says.
There are also number OF indus
trial plants operating part time or
closed entirely, such as the American
Locomotive Works in Richmond and
several railroad shops in the district.
Workers in building material plants
are mostly employed on a part-tme
basis.
ION the other hand, textile workers,
tobacco factory hands and coal miners
are fully employed. On the whole,
while there is undoubtedly a larger
number Of idle workers in the district
than at any time during the past three
years, the situation is not serious ex-
cept in scattered localities.

Norwich to Discontinue
 Polo Playing This Year

Northfeld, Vt, Nov. 25 LP,-Nor- wich university which has sent polo teams 10 games in Chicago. Pitts burgh, Washington and many east crn cities in the last few years, will have no polo team this winter.
 Lack Of sufficient number Of polo horses to mount the cadet mallet- men is the reason for this temporary spcnsion," said Colonel F. B. Ed wards, polo coach. "The limited number of horses suitable for polo playing last year allowed no oppor- tunity for the dcvelopm ent of any thing but q first team. With our three or four best malletmen of last winter now graduated. we have no seasoned men with whom 10 carry on the sport this season.
 Colonel Edwards plans to train q. group of polo players in practice games this winter with the few hors- es available and hopes to resume q regular schedule next season when it is expected dozen polo mounts will be added to the equipment of the military institution.

The tanks. manned by National Guardsmen. if needed will be run into the prison yard and used in hattcring down the cell house doors. This would enable the besiegers 10 get inside the prison without laying themselves open to guniire.
 Nothing but complete surrender will be accepted by the prison au- thorities. This was indicated when the men sent word to Warden Smith that they wished a barley. Smith sent word back that he would be willing to meet their representa- tives but he made no promises and informed them that there would be no clemency offers extended by him. This later was stressed in a skirmish between possemen and the prisoners, which came about when the con- victs waved a white flag out of the third tier window.
 Capt. John Larkin Of the prison guard at that time ordered the pris- oners to leave the cell block 25 at a time and to come out where they could be covered by the guards.
 Revolt Long Planned
 Many of the prisoners wished to accept this offer, but information leading out of the cell house indi- Cated that the leaders were forcing the non- participants 10 remain in the cell house.
 The revolt is believed by prison authorities 10 have been planned for some time and have been intended to lead to & general delivery.

Without Food q Hours

The prisoners have been without food since early yesterday morning and last night what little sleeping they did was without blankets.
 Try to Break Doors
 Driven by the pangs Of hunger the men during the night endeavored to break in the doors leading from the cell house to the mess hall and kitchen. but the locks held. Had they succeeded in breaking through they would have been met with streams of gunfre as an armed guard has been placed in protected areas within the mess hall, if this holds out the men will be held away from food and it is believed can soon be starved out.
 In formation leaking out from the cell house indicated captured guards had been stripped of their uniforms, which were donncd by the ringlcad- CTS of the riot, and they have been forced to don prison garb and are being used by the revolters as shields when they wish to shoot.
 100 Men in Revolt
 Charles Neumiller Of stockton. chairman Of the board Of prison di- rcctors, estimated that there wee only 400 men in the revolt, The prison population at the last census was 2,1SS men, Ncumiller today re ported that there were more than 1,00o men locked ID in the cell house but that perhaps the greater number Of them were not taking part in the revolt
 Besides mllllamcn from Sacra- meuto StocNou Nuba City and Woodland, most of whom are ma chine gun operators, Adjutant Gen. oral Mittelstaedt and Gov. Young ordered tanks and airplanes brought 10 the prison for reserve. Tho airplones were duo 10 reach this district this morning and may be used to drop tear bombs in an other attempt 10 dislodge the con- viCts.

his retreat cut off by snipers among the convict horde, took command of the situation by telephone and moved all available guards to the unwalled portion of the prison. All available policemen from Sacra- mento, 25 miles distant, were called, and National Guardsmen were rush. ed to the scene.
 Late in the afternoon armed of fcers attacked the beleaguered con- victs but were repulsed when one Of their number was wounded.
 Some 200 rounds were fired. the imprisoned men replying with an unknown number of guns which they had mysteriously acquired.
 The convicts refused to consider a surrender at that time. although later notes were thrown from cell windows saying their ammunition was running low.
 Warden Makes Escape
 When twilight fell, Warden smith escaped from his office without being fired upon. Governor c. C. Young arrived from Sacramento and aided in directing the seize last night. More National Guardsmen. together with machine guns, alrplanes, tanks, tear gas bombs and other instru- ments of modern warfare, were or dered from Los Angeles and other points.
 The convicts carly today still were in possession of the old cell house, the tool room and the prison hospi- tai, where their dead and wounded comrades were. The wounded were being treated by men nurses under orders of the prison surgeon. One of the wounded guards and the body of the one who was shot down as the riots opened also remained within the part of the prison held by the convicts,
 Prison officials and Adjutant Gen. R. E. Mittelstaedt, who is in charge of the state soldiers on duty at the prison, were hopeful that the siege 1 could be ended without further i bloodshed.
