PAGE EIGHT NEED FEDERAL PRISONERS TO KEEP UP PRISON Minnesota Penitentiary Gredt Slump in Commit- ments LABOR SHORTAGE Are Youa Lover ot “MUSIC has Hard to Operate . Industries Upon Number of Men Received » Minn., Dec. 23.—-Federal 5 11 be ‘committed to the Miuwesota State prison here to make up for the rapidly decreasing number of state prisoners. Ralph W. Wheelock, secretary of ‘the State Board of Control, has re- ceived this information from the Fed- eral ‘Department of Justice, which acted upon a request made some time ago by the board of control. Consignment of Federal prisoners t the penitentiary here is expected to relieve the labor shortag in the pris- on twine and machinery plants and which recently necessitated the em- ployment of seventy-five outside work- men. According to prison authorities the population ofthe prison has decreased so rapidly that the industrial life of the ingtitution has been threatened, and unless the assignment of Federal prisoners brings relief, ultimate op- eration of the prison industries by outside labor would result. While the number of prisoners at Stillwater prison has been on the de- crease, population of the State Re- formatory at St. Cloud has been in- creasing rapidly with “first offend- ers” found guilty of stealing or forg- ing checks. Abolition 6 Saloon Board of Control members and prison authorities declare the abol:. tion of the saloon is mainly respon~ i sible for the decrease at the prison | here, while they charge that the mo- | ; vies, war and novels are largely re- sponsible for the minor crimes that send the boys to St. Cloud. The decrease at Stillwater has been | steady since July 1, 1919. From that | date to July 1, 1920, ‘it fell from 872 to 849 and on November 1 it was | down to 748 and prospects of a further decrease this month, records | show. On July 1, 1919, there were 380 pris- | oners in St. Cloud reformatory, while on November 1, 1920, there were 428. In the last fiscal year ended June St. Cloud yeformatory received 264 prisoners, all first offenders, between ; | the age of 18 and 30 years. Of thes3 | |264 men, no less than 205 were in! |for stealing. One hundred and three | | were convicted of larceny, 44 of | forgery, 33 of burglary and 25 of rob- | | bery. } i ast month 33 inimates were re- ceived at St. Cloud. This is an un- ‘usually large number, and of these no | ; less than 22 were for larceny, bur- jglary, robbery and forgery.
