second with eight dele gates some of the more distant colleges represented were univer sity of oregon university of michigan tulane university louis g.w.t the catastrophe at the ohio state penitentiary columbus 0 in which 318 convicts lost their lives has once more attracted the atten tion of the nation to the problem of prisons and prisoners in the past nine months there have been seven major outbreaks in our penitentiaries and many more uprisings of a less serious nature the investigations now under way at columbus will probably lay the blame for the loss of life upon neg ligence or incompetence but the real cause lies deeper — lack of classification of prisoners poor housing conditions poor food idle ness and poor prison personnel but back of all these apparent causes of prison troubles the cause of overcrowded prisons of today — too many criminal laws * * * the fact that 4,300 prisoners were confined in a prison built for only 1,800 is a disgrace to civilized america and a crime against civil ization itself but a greater disgrace and a greater crime is the fact that twentieth century justice found it necessary to deprive 4,300 persons in the state of ohio of their liberty people are thrown into jail today for commiting acts that are scarcely misdemeanors ♦ * * to institute prison reform we must first reform our criminal laws the idea is to devise ways of keep ing men but of jail and not to think up more effective means of taking care of them after they get in jail the prohibition question refuses to depart from the first pages of our newspapers foes of the prohibition movement have been accused of lobbying against the eighteenth amendment in the united states supreme court pierre s dv pont has warned the house judiciary committee that the country is in open revolt against prohibition po lice commissioner grover whalen announced that he would not coop erate with the federal authorities in their round-up of hip flask drinkers and mrs archibald roos evelt daughter-in-law of the late theodore roosevelt said i never saw a legislator refuse a drink no matter how they vote they all drink * * ♦ mud-slinging political campaigns of the past must sink to a place of relative insignificance when com pared with the silly and insane ar guments and statements that are advanced for and against prohibi tion there is only one way to set tle the question let the people vote yes or no they may not decide what is best but they will decide what they want — which is the only thing that matters * * * a sub-committee of the senate judiciary committee has agreed upon a bill curtailing the power of the federal courts to issue injunc tions in labor disputes the measure also provides for the voiding of the so-called yellow dog contracts which are agreements made to em ployers by employees to the effect that they will not join a labor or ganization , * » * the proposal of the sub-commit tee is a curious outgrowth of the nomination of judge john j park er to be an associate justice of the supreme court although the pres ent movement of the committee may be purely political in its na ture the adoption of the bill would be a great boon to american labor the injunction has too long been a restraining influence , upon the right of individuals to exercise their personal liberty in unison so long as they remain within the law our courts have too long leaned favor ably toward capitalism ♦ * * the sub-committee's bill requires that no injunction be issued by a court except after hearing the testi mony of witnesses in open court with the opportunity of cross ex amination temorpary injunctions of five days duration are provided for how different the provisions of this bill to the present method of injunctions issued on request this wholesale granting of injunc tions has been a cringe against the institution of democracy and the senate judiaciary committee should act favorably upon the sub-commit tee's bill * ♦ » the modern urge of big business has seized chicago's gangland two leading gangs which formerly have competed against each other for territory and spoils have joined forces in a friendly agreement to share in the profits and cease mur dering each other hereafter all their energies will be directed against the citizens of the windy city * * * it is reported that the merger would have taken place some time ago but for the fact that the brains of the combine was indulging in an enforced vacation in a philadelphia jail the chicago city administra tion is not worthy of the name weak-kneed officials allow crim inals to run the city which all goes to prove that we have more need for marines at home that in the caribbean tau chapter of tau delta phi held an initiation banquet saturday night april 26 at its chapter house prof f v larkin head of the me chanical enginering department was the guest of honor and the principal speaker william harris bus 33 of new york city was initiated preceding the banquet

second with eight dele gates some of the more distant colleges represented were univer sity of oregon university of michigan tulane university louis g.w.t the catastrophe at the ohio state penitentiary columbus 0 in which 318 convicts lost their lives has once more attracted the atten tion of the nation to the problem of prisons and prisoners in the past nine months there have been seven major outbreaks in our penitentiaries and many more uprisings of a less serious nature the investigations now under way at columbus will probably lay the blame for the loss of life upon neg ligence or incompetence but the real cause lies deeper — lack of classification of prisoners poor housing conditions poor food idle ness and poor prison personnel but back of all these apparent causes of prison troubles the cause of overcrowded prisons of today — too many criminal laws * * * the fact that 4,300 prisoners were confined in a prison built for only 1,800 is a disgrace to civilized america and a crime against civil ization itself but a greater disgrace and a greater crime is the fact that twentieth century justice found it necessary to deprive 4,300 persons in the state of ohio of their liberty people are thrown into jail today for commiting acts that are scarcely misdemeanors ♦ * * to institute prison reform we must first reform our criminal laws the idea is to devise ways of keep ing men but of jail and not to think up more effective means of taking care of them after they get in jail the prohibition question refuses to depart from the first pages of our newspapers foes of the prohibition movement have been accused of lobbying against the eighteenth amendment in the united states supreme court pierre s dv pont has warned the house judiciary committee that the country is in open revolt against prohibition po lice commissioner grover whalen announced that he would not coop erate with the federal authorities in their round-up of hip flask drinkers and mrs archibald roos evelt daughter-in-law of the late theodore roosevelt said i never saw a legislator refuse a drink no matter how they vote they all drink * * ♦ mud-slinging political campaigns of the past must sink to a place of relative insignificance when com pared with the silly and insane ar guments and statements that are advanced for and against prohibi tion there is only one way to set tle the question let the people vote yes or no they may not decide what is best but they will decide what they want — which is the only thing that matters * * * a sub-committee of the senate judiciary committee has agreed upon a bill curtailing the power of the federal courts to issue injunc tions in labor disputes the measure also provides for the voiding of the so-called yellow dog contracts which are agreements made to em ployers by employees to the effect that they will not join a labor or ganization , * » * the proposal of the sub-commit tee is a curious outgrowth of the nomination of judge john j park er to be an associate justice of the supreme court although the pres ent movement of the committee may be purely political in its na ture the adoption of the bill would be a great boon to american labor the injunction has too long been a restraining influence , upon the right of individuals to exercise their personal liberty in unison so long as they remain within the law our courts have too long leaned favor ably toward capitalism ♦ * * the sub-committee's bill requires that no injunction be issued by a court except after hearing the testi mony of witnesses in open court with the opportunity of cross ex amination temorpary injunctions of five days duration are provided for how different the provisions of this bill to the present method of injunctions issued on request this wholesale granting of injunc tions has been a cringe against the institution of democracy and the senate judiaciary committee should act favorably upon the sub-commit tee's bill * ♦ » the modern urge of big business has seized chicago's gangland two leading gangs which formerly have competed against each other for territory and spoils have joined forces in a friendly agreement to share in the profits and cease mur dering each other hereafter all their energies will be directed against the citizens of the windy city * * * it is reported that the merger would have taken place some time ago but for the fact that the brains of the combine was indulging in an enforced vacation in a philadelphia jail the chicago city administra tion is not worthy of the name weak-kneed officials allow crim inals to run the city which all goes to prove that we have more need for marines at home that in the caribbean tau chapter of tau delta phi held an initiation banquet saturday night april 26 at its
