DefyHunger as Strike
Begins Second Week
BY the Associated Pres.

SALEM, Oreg.. Aug. 21.-Some
300 inmates of the State Peni-
tentiary began their second week
of a sit-down strike today. Most
of them have been without food
since Thursday morning when
Warden George Alexander stopped
meals as a reprisal.
About 40 TRUSTEES went back to
work yesterday morning. This was
the first break in the trouble which
began as a protest over a guard
using a billy club to break up q
fight between two prisoners.
Only convicts given food are
those who work. those in solitary
and those in the hospital. Women
prisoners have not joined the
strike, Warden Alexander said.
The other prisoners are flavor

sugar. a prisoner who was released

The ex-prisoner, George A. Nc
Intyre of Boston, served 10 months
for larceny by bailee. He said the
strike started without premedita-
tion-it just grew after Guard Lit
Morris Race used hts club in the
fight.
But, Mr.. Mcintyre said, that
wasn't the only incident. He
claimed there have been repeated

in Washington which prohibits a
boxer who suffers a conclusion
from returning to the ring for at
least six months and then only
with the unanimous consent of an
examining board of three ply
sicians.
Smith is scheduled to fight for
the first time since the Dynamite
