LONDON, Novembher 26.—Lower wages and a craze for luxurious liv- ing are held accountable by English prison governors for many present- day crimes in a report made by them to the home office. Although crime has dwindled con- siderably during the past twenty years, the number of prisoners for the year 1920-21 was 49,713, or 9,926 mare than in the previous year. The repart, however, statea that “so small an in- crease in a year in which there has been much unemployment and indus- trial unrest is nateworthy.” Prison Governor's View. The governor ,of Durham prison | says: “A new stamp of offender has sprung into existence. Men and women ‘of respectable antecedents and parent- age, In regular employment and -in no respects assoclated with the crim- inal class, are taking to serious crime with astounding facility.” The suggestion that a spirit of law- lessness acquired by men white on military service is ‘responsible for, this s rejected by the governor, on the ground that women in equal pro- portion to men are the offenders. His explanation is that high wages, once casily earned and more easily mpent, are now not obtainable. “Men and women. boys and girls,” his report states, “have all got used | to ‘big’ money. out of all proportion | to the glight effort necessary to ob- | tain it and he continues: “The eco- nomic readjustment of the past year has created a number of discontented, reckless people, who do not realize that they have been living in an arti- ficial wage market, and unconsciously resent the changed conditions of &up- ply and demand, work and play. Money they must have to provide the luxuries and amusements to which they have grown accustomed, 8o they steal, plifer and loaf.” i Thefts on Rallways Cited. The governor of Shrewsbury prison calls attention to the prevalence of thefts on railways and elsewhere, often by men with excellent long- service records and receiving high wages. A big Increase in automobile thefts s mentioned by the governor of Wandsworth prison. It is proposed shortly to introduce recreation classes in male convict prisons and mako it possible for con- victs to earn by good conduct and in- dustry the privilege of classes for :3#&:» recitations, lectures and BLANTON RAPS GOMPERS. CHICAGO, December 14.—Represant- ative Thomas L, Blanton of Texas last night “charged that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, through legislative domina- tion, is “throttling the government,” in an address at the annual banquet of the 1llinois Manufacturers' Association. Repregentative Blanton, cited the la- | | leader's war record, which, he us- || bor serted, supported his charge, and re- ferred particularly to Mr. Gompers' ac- tivities in disputes involving the big| four railway brotherhoods and the gov- ernment. Mr. Blanton also charged that Mr. ||| Gompers several years ago “had sworn | to oust me from Congress, and last vear | :u reported to have spent $100,000 to | o so."” | MEDICAL BOARD TO MEET. | A board of medical officers has heen | ordered to meet at the Army Medical | School, this city, January 2 for the annual physical examination of ‘of- | ficers of the Army on duty in this! city.
