Emperor’s Daughter Married
2,000 Convicts Riot
Hallowe’en Night In
Ohio Penitentiary
COLUMBUS, Ohio, (/P) — Six
hours of hell on Hallowe’en — a
million dollar “bad food” riot of
2,000 maddened convicts — swept
this century-old Ohio penitentiary
Friday night.
Eight buildings went up in
flames.
Furnishings and equipment
were savagely beaten into wreck
age. ...
A , state highway patrolman,
mistaken for an escaping convict,
was wounded slightly on the head
hy a quick-shooting guard. No
one else was injured; no prisoners
escaped; no hostage was taken.
Milling convicts, spurred to
madness by the needling of ring
leaders, threatened for a time to
attempt a mass escape ewer the
•prison’s 30-foot north wall. Thir
ty-five grim guards, armed with
sub - machine guns, stood their
ground. Somehow the escape at
tempt, if it was in the convicts’
minds, never jelled.
Quickly the state and city mar
shalled forces, pouring 2'50 guards
and officers into the flaming pris
on compound. Six hundred Ohio
National Guardsmen, rounded up
from central and southern Ohio,
mobilized before the sudden col
lapse of the revolt.
A scheduled offensive by the
guards became unnecessary. Cold,
hungry, beaten, most of the rebel
lious convicts moved back into
the cellblocks minutes before the
guards planned to march into the
penitentiary.
Stephen Foster, creator of such
American folk songs as “My Old
Kentucky Home” and “Old Folks
at Home”, was born on the same
day that both Presidents John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson
died — July 4, 1826.

Coal Miners Get
$1.90 Raise In
New Contract
WASHINGTON, (/P) — John L.
Lewis and hard coal operators
signed a new contract Saturday
raising the wages of 65,000 an
thracite miners $1.90 a day effec
tive Nov.. 16.
The new contract is subject to
approval by the Wage Stabiliza
tion Board, which recently has
chopped 40 cents off a similar
agreement reached by Lewis and
the soft coal industry.
The new hard coal contract was
announced by Thomas Kennedy,
vice president of the United Mine
Workers, and Edward G. Fox,
who led the operators’ negotiating
team.
They told newsmen that a 11
money benefits in the new con
tract, with the exception of in
creased payments to the union’s
welfare fund, have been applied
to the wage structure and not to
fringe benefits.
The agreement was worked out
in a session which lasted .until
nearly midnight Friday night.
The WSB, after studying the
soft coal contract, ruled that only
$1.50 of the increase was permis
sable under anti-inflation policy.
The decision, now under ap
peal, touched off a strike which
ended only after President Tru
man asked Lewis to call it off.
The miners were called back to
work with the understanding they
would get the other 40 cents of
their daily wage boost demand,
if and when the WSB approved.
The hard coal industry, concen
trated in eastern Pennsyvania,
has avoided a strike. An interim
agreement gives the union a boost
from 30 cents to 50 cents a ton in
the employer-paid royalty to the
UMW’s anthracite welfare fund.
