ana S1ckly looking, SHOW obvious
signs that the diet is unsuitable for
the maintenance Of health, but the
officials don't care about that. Many
Of the prisoners complain of back
ache and lassitude, and a few have
shown me large boils and carhuncles,
sometimes under both arnpits. They
told me that ten days would not be
long enough to affect me that way,
the boils and other complications ap-
pearing after a few months of the
rotten diet.
Forced Labor
Prisoners sentenced to more than
thrifty days are put to work in the
shop where they can earn fifty or
more cents q week, which they have
to fight to get. If they earn more
than their quota of fifty cents a
week, the prisoners find all kinds of
stoppages and deductions against
them, so that they are not finally
credited with more. A prisoner has
to sew-up 1,4o0 fly-swatters daily to
earn fifty cents week, which is 60
ing some. Despite their low earn
ings, prisoners must pay for their
own supplies, such as soap, tooth
paste, stationery. ETC. One prisoner
complained to me that the dentist
had demanded 81 for filling one
tooth.
When sick the prisoners are treat
ed by a physician who is apparent
ly so expert that he knows all about
their ailment without touching or
examining them, he invariably pres
cribes pills.
II am ready to support the above
statements of the treatment and con-
ditions in the Baltimore City Jail.

Saturday half holiday, calculated TO
save $lo,00O,o0o, is aimed at the rank
and file workers, since the higher
paid bureaucrats do not punch a
time clock.
It means that the workers will be
forced to put in an extra half days
work each week without pay.
A further savings of 100000 is
called for by the abolition of all pay
for extra work or overtime; of $2,0o0,-
600 by suspension of provisions for
promotions or salary increases; of
$4,000, 900 by the mass firing of all
Federal employees who have worked
for longer than specified time and
an unestimated sum for non-fulfill-
ment of vacancies. The last provision
opens the road for the most intense
speed-up of all Federal workers who
will be forced to do the work of more
than one man because the vacancies
will be left open.
An amendment to the eteran's Blu
reau legislation will chop $59,627 900
from the appropriations for world war
veterans in the form of medical, hos
pitalization and compensation pay
ments.
The economy program of the House
Committee, with Hoover's own pro-
possl of the stagger system for civil
service workers to be presented for
vote as minority report, is clear
expression of the whole Hoover wage
cutting policy. 1t merely gives legis-
lative sanction to what has been 60
ing on for years with the full sp-
prevail Of the Hoover government.
In addition to the wage cutting
provisions Of the economy bill, there
are two measures for increasing more
rapidly the fascisation of the state
apparatus and for furtIlering the war
plans of American imperialism.
These two sections call for the con-
solidation of the War and Navy de-
partments into single highly CEN
tralized Department of National De-
tense. Although presented as an econ
omy measure this move Is definitely
in the direction of making easier
the mobilization of the entire coun-

"Mr. Delcher wears his own cloth
es, eats with the prison officials, has
never been seen in the prisoners
mess room; holds a responsible po-
sition; receives his visitors daily
while seated at his polished office
desk in the enclosure; sleeps in a
specially prepared, clean cell and be-
tween snow-white linen bed sheets,
and in general lives like king.
Others Treated Different
Compare this with the lot of other
prisoners. We are not permitted Wis
itors until after an initial thirty-day
period, and then can receive visitors
only once week We must stand
and shout through two sets Of iron
bars when talking to visitors, and
can only talk for fifteen minutes,
not all day like Delcher can. We
must eat Stops in the prisoners mess
room; must wear prison clothes;
must sleep in filthy, bed infested
with bugs and coolies, and with only
one dark, cotton sheet and one
blanket; and In general must live a
life made as wretched as possible
for us.
I'VE are not permitted knives and
forks, and eat with the aid of a
spoon only. For breakfast we are
served a watery bean or pea soup,
with watery coffee and dry white
bread. For dinner we get tasteless
meat, potatoes, and some green grass
which have never eaten or seen
outside Jail. The meat is either too
tough or stringy, and always has the
strength steamed out of it so that
ii tastes like dishcloth and is about
as nourishing. I could never eat the
meat or grass so filled up on the
watery soup, which is also served at
dinner time and for supper with dry
bread. Usually a thin solution of
mollasses and water is served with
all meals. On Sunday, when the
rich eat better than during the week,
we got only dry bread and the So
luton of mollasses with weak coffee
for supper, but up to this last Sum-
day, only two meals we're served on
Saturdays and Sundays.
Sometimes the morning soup is

outlining the program of action as
planned by the Unemployed Coun-
Gil. The speakers we're John Weber,
district secretary of the Unemployed
Council; Harry Kapan, organizer Of
the Unemployed Council; Rips Tor

Of approval was given by the crowd
as the demands we're raised.
Five open-air meetings we're held
in as many sections of the city, from
which the workers marched to the
Central Green, which is situated
about a hundred feet from the city
hall A committee of nine was Sc
lected by the Unemployed Council
and was approved enthusiastically by
the workers and we're sent to the
city hall to present the demands OF
the unemployed TO Mayor John w.
Murphy.
Included in this committee were
two Negro workers, one woman and
one young worker.
The committee was met at the
entrance to the city hall by cor

before he returned word was sent
down from the mayors office that

Met by the mayors secretary, the
delegation was told to take seats
and were asked what they wanted.
The delegation told the secretary
that they we're sent TO present the
demands of the unemployed to Mayor

the mayor was not in and that he
represented the mayor in his abb

The delegation then presented the
following demands:
1. That the city Immediately
appropriate Sl,5o0,OOO in a lump
sum for imemdiate cash relief,
2. An indefinite moratorium to
be declared on taxes and mortgage
interest on homes owned by unem
ployed or part time workers.

STRANGE MALADY
TAKES 20 LIVES
AT PITTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 27 U.P)-
Encephalitis lethargica-commonly
known as sleeping sickness -
caused the death of at least % per-
sons in Pittsburgh in 1881, it was
revealed here recently.
The prevalence of the compare
lively rare. and apparently incur
able. disease, was revealed by DR..
c. B. Mats. Pittsburgh director OF
health. after the 1l-year search Of
a Pittsburgh man for a cure was
disclosed.
The Pittsburgh resident. who
does not Sish his name revealed,
has spent a fortune in an effort
to find a cure fer the disease with
which his sister is afflicted. Al
though he has answers to his in
quiries from all parts of the world,
he has found no one with cure.
It has been estimated there are
about $40 new cases Of the disease
in the United States each year. In
1921 the highest number of new
cases reported in the United States
in any one year was reached
1872.
Some physicians believe there
may be some relation between the
ailment and influenza because OF
the appearance and growth of the
two together in many instances.

FLYING WING
MAKERS CHOOSE
ASSOCIATED GAS

Aviation's newest development,
the Flying Wing, fueled with Asso-
ciated aviation gasoline. Jared forth
last week in a series of initial trial
FLIGHTS which drew the attention of
the aeronautieal world to the Oak
land airport and to Glare Vance,
president of the Vance Aircraft
corporation, veteran airmail pilot
and designer and builder of the
odd looking craft.
The new plane takes its name
from its entirely unique design.
Eliminating the ordinary fuselage,
the Flying Wing consists chiefly OF
single wing Of SO foot spread, TO
which the double tail section is con-
nected by two narrow supports or
booms. The pilots cockpit is in
the center of the wing, as is the
baggage compartment. Tanks to
carry 1900 gallons of gasoline and
SO gallons Of motor oil are also ac-
commodated entirely in the wing
section. The ship is powered with
Pratt and Whitney Wasp motor
which. with its 12-1 supercharger,
ana 6-1 compression ratio, develops
approximately 700 horsepower.
Initial tests conducted by Vance
at the Oakland airport showed
speed of over 200 miles per hour.
The cruising radius, because OF the
extremely large gasoline and oil
storage capacity, is estimated al
1000 miles.
Emory B. Bronte, famous navi-
gator for Ernie Smith when the TWO
made their historic hop to Hawaii,
and now aviation manager for AS
sociated Oil company, declared that
the new Flying Wing represents the
ideal type of craft for long range
high speed mail flying, for carry
ing of cargoes, or as military
plane for bombardment purposes.
I'VE consider the choice OF AS
sociated aviation gasoline for the
new Flying Wing as an impressive
expression of the confidence telt
by veteran flyers in Associated
products" Bronte declared.
"The new Flying A aero-type gas
oline for motor cars, designed with
the same precision and for the
same consistent high degree OF per
formance that is demanded in fly
ing. has brought true airplane per-
formance at last to the motonst
also. Clare Vance, designer and
builder of the Flying Wing, chooses
Flying A gasoline for his personal
car with the. same confidence that
he uses Associated aviation gasoline
in his new plane"
