PRISON STRKE PUTS 181N SEERECATON 14 Refusing Food in Mary- | land Penitentiary Get Chance |, |- “to Come to Senses.” By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, May 19.—Eighteen | prisoners in the Maryland Penitentiary, | . including three lifers and several of na-| tional notoriety, were in segregation cells today as 14 of them continued their hunger strike for the fourth day. ‘The strike began Tuesday when | three prisoners declined the food offered : them for breakfast and prison officials | made no attempt to_force them to eat. | William Niemoth, 39, one of Chicago's | “public enemies,” was one of ‘the four men in the segregated group who were | not on the hunger strike. These were | blamed by officials for a large share of | the unrest at the institution. | Niemoth is doing 10 years for par- ticipation in a pay roll hold-up in which one man was killed. | Warden Patrick J. Brady said the hunger strikers will be allowed to go| hungry ‘“until they come to their | senses.” | He said the 18 were part of the group | which had taken part in a strike in a | workshop last December. Besides the three life-termers, the sen- | tences of the segregated men total 283 years and their crimes include murder, pay ol and bank hold-ups, robbery, urglary, assault with intent to murder and_escape. The life-termers are Edward Harling, 22, and Leo Mercer, 24, among the strikers, and John Harvis, 32, who were convicted of participating in the mur- der of a grocer in 1929. Others were Frank James, 31: Charles | Kramer, 26, and Edward West, 29, wanted in 'Philadelphia; William E. Gambrill, 28, wanted in York, Pa., and James McCloskey, 36, yet to be tried for murder of a Pikesville jail turnkey. Jery Offreda, 28, another striker, | served terms in Atlanta and Leaven- worth penitentiaries; John Ryan, 39, six years in solitary confinement in | Eastern penitentiary, Pennsylvania, and | Frank Campbell, 38, Negro, in New Jer- | _sey. 12 STATES RATIFY } CHILD LABOR LAW Only Seven Have Made Required Report to the State Department.

Mooney, at World Trade Din- ner Sees Need of Free Hand in Treaty Negotiations. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 19.—Describing the general outlook for international trade as “very promising,” J. D. Mooney, president of General Motors Export Co. and of American Manufacturers’ Ex- port Association, urged in a speech | ‘Wednesday night that President Roose- velt be invested with full powers to negotiate reciprocal tariff treaties. Mooney, addressing a dinner spon- 311 7th St. N.W. sored by the World Trade League of the United States, said the next several years probably will bring many cross- wise, reciprocal tariff and trade ar- rangements among the various nations. He counseled the United States to par- ticipate in the movement. Lowering of tariffs on a “give-and- take” basis likewise was urged by A. D. Hutcheson, former president of the Cuban Chamber of Commerce in the United States. Hutcheson pointed to Cuba particularly as a prospective cus- tomer of more American goods. Tariff barriers have brought her annual pur- chases from this country down from as high as $200,000,000 to $30,000,000, he said. A. C. Peters, counselor on_foreign trade and finance, said: “The happiest thing that could happen to the world at this moment would be to reduce the | gold content of the dollar enough to level at which American debts were contracted.” 3146 M St. N.W.
