Y., July 4.—A thou- |sand prisoners and guards at Sing Sing looked on helplessly while three |unidentified youths, off on a holiday excursion, drowned 300 feet from the ls of the prigon today, The prisoners begged to be allowed |to rescue the boys, but the guards, acting under orders not to let them jout in any emergency, held them at | bay with rifles. | Warden Lewis E. Lawes heard of j the tragedy too late to be of any as- | sistanee. He deplored the fact that word had not reached him sooner so \that he might have sent men to the | rescue. | The prisoners were exercising in \the big yard facing the Hudson River | when they heard screams. Suddenly turning toward the cries, they saw the boys making desperate efforts to swim to shore after their frail little eanoe had overturned. | They cried and begged to be al- picket fence, 12 feet high, and less than 200 feet of water which a good |swimmer could easily have negoti- ated. Two boys sank some distance from shore. The third had only 15 yards more to go when he gave his final ery and disappeared under the wa- | ters. The six guards stood watch with guns, unwilling to rescue the boys themselves or to allow any of the prisoners to do so. Lead Furrier Pickets (Continued from Page One) jailed in Welfare Island have sent the following communication to their fel- low workers: “We, twenty-eight strikers who were sentenced to Welfare Island through the machinations of the For- ward-Sigman-McGrady gang, with the active cooperation of the bosses and the police who have joined to smash our union, express our deep hatred for the contemptible campaign of our enemies. “We await impatiently the time when we will again be free in order that we may once more be among our comrades in the front-line tren- ches who are fighting this battle against working-class treachery, and for a democratic, powerful union. We say: better to be in jail than in the scab union of the International. “To our conirades we say: out on the mighty picket line on Tuesday.” —(Signed)—Brafman, Berger and Gerstein, Committee. * * * Meeting Tomorrow.
