JACKSON, Miss, May 6.-Charges OF
inhuman beating, blood-letting and de-
NAL of water to convicts at the Parch-
man State Penal Farm were before the
board of trustees today.
The charges were made by Mrs. w. A
Montgomery, president Of the board,
and characterized by Gov. Theodore @
Bilbo as testimony Of a bunch of ordi-
nary~liars."
Mrs. Montgomery also asked an in
vestigation of the death of F. B. Nor
riss on last October 10 from what was
officially described as "a blocked art
cry" She also charged that another
prisoner died from being forced to work
in cotton field under a hot sun while
suffering from a chronic illness.
Mrs. Montgomery said that convicts
were beaten for lining up" with the
members of the board and telling their
troubles.
Now when a man is required to pick
200 pounds of cotton per day for the
State of Mississippi or suffer the conse-
quences," she quoted one convict, sure
ly it should not have been a breach Of
penitentiary rules to ask them to give
us drink OF water. They (the trus-
tees) had the water cart come around
and We all enjoyed the drink.
The dust of their car had not set
tied before We paid the penalty for
making a complaint. We were taken
right down there on the turn row and
the strap was put on us Is times"
Two of Mrs Montgomery's associates
on the board filed reports to the effect
I that they found little merit" in the
complaints of the convicts.

over go years of industrial peace" in
the operations Of the II. j. Heinze Co.,
pioneer in improving industrial rela-
tons. In that speech the President
gave expression TO the ideal of the indi-
vidualism.
He said, in part:
Industrial conflict Is the greatest
waste OF industry. 1t not only delays
production and diminishes it, but its
most hurtful results are inflicted upon
the lives and spirits of men and wom-
en-. We can measure its productive
losses in unmade goods and unearned
dollars, but incalculable is its needless
toll OF suffering
Moreover, the purpose of industry is
only IN part to create objects, articles
and services which satisfy physical
needs: This is an essential function;
but the higher purpose of industry is
to provide satisfaction of life to human
beings not alone in its product but in
the work OF production itself
Unless industry makes living men
and women and children happier in
their work, unless it gives opportunity
and creative satisfaction in the Job It
self, 1t cannot excuse its failure by
pleading that at least 1t has kept them
alive. Man learned the art Of staying
alive long before he learned the art
Of mechanics. The machine must build
him better life. not alone in time of
leisure but in the Joy OF work-better
than he knew before. I have every
faith that in the broad view 1t Is doing
so. not only in It's products and relief
from sweat, but that 1t increasingly en-
larges mans satisfaction in his toll"
