Inmates Endurance

NEW YORK.-Over 500 prisoners
of Brooklyn's Raymond Street prison
braved the customary consequences
OF brutal disciplinary repression, and
registered, In no uncertain terms,
their protest against the deadly mon
osony of the food diet and other I'M
bearable conditions.
The third successive meal Of hash
and prunes, served the prisoners yes
terrday, was never touched, but was
hurled through the bars. Hundreds
of voices jolt ! in the chorus: mo
more hashl No more prunesV
Every availabI receptacle was hurled
through the ars, cell furnishings
smashed and mattresses torn apart
as the pent up misery of the prison
erS was suddenly turned loose.
Five prisoners and three guards
were injured as the inmates resisted
brutal repressive measures which
may lead TO the death Of one Of the
prisoners.
Warden Honeck has ordered a
cvict censorship on all matters con-
nected with the protest action. No
attempts we're made to break out OF
jail.

NEW YORK.-Here is what fill

ernor Comstock's moratorium in

Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler and
General Motors have large balan-
ces i'll the Union Guardian Trust
Company of Detroit, unit of the
Guardian Detroit Union Group.
The aforementioned trio, realizing
the insolvency of the bank. which
has hooked its best collateral with
the r. F. c., as well as the poor
condition of the holding company,
stock of which has been in a pre-
cipitOus state Of decline, sought to
withdraw their funds. The author
tiles and the Detroit bankers were
able to win the consent of Chrysler
and General Motors to at least re-
tard their Withdrawals, but Ford
sharply refused. The deadlock re-
suited in the moratorium. Basically
the situation resolves itself down
to the paralytic crisis in the auto
mobile industry, and the gigan-
tically competitive struggle now
going on between Ford and Gen
eral Motors, with Henry's downfall
imminent.
DETROIT, Feb. Ia. All
bank operations throughout
the state are suspended by an
order issued by the democratic
governor, COmstOck, who de.
clared an eight day moratori-
UNI. This is hailed by the kept
press as an attempt to avert
bankruptcy and the closing OF
the biggest bank in Detroit and
throughout the state. In reality the
action shows that they are bankrupt
and that the eight day moratorium
Is for the purpose of enabling the
stock holders and bankers to get all
they can and leave the small depo-
sitors holding the bag.
