WARN CONGRESS TO PROVIDE FOR PRISONRELIEF Officials Declare Present Conditions May Cause Series of Riots. Bv Bcrippt-HoKard Newspaper AlHnnee WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—With an elaborate program of prison reform and building unacted upon for a year, congress today faced a warning from Attorney-General'Mitchell and Sanford Bates, superintendent of federal prisons, that continued illness and overcrowding would result in more fatal riots like those at Leavenworth, Canon City, Dannemora and Auburn. Both officials asked for prompt action in providing a parole system, employment, more prisons and better living quarters. The ideal penitentiary. Bates told the house judiciary committee, should accommodate no more than 1,000 men, and 750 would be even more satisfactory. Federal prisons have had as many as 3,700 inmates, or more than twice the normal capacity. Idleness lowers prison morale and unfits the men for return to private life, both officials testified. Mitchell declared that opposition by cap-

ital or laboor to employment of prisoners was unjustified, and urged legislation that would set them at work. At both Atlanta and Leavenworth, the attorney-general said most of the inmates are in complete or partial idleness. The house has several bills for new prisons before it, but no definite action has been taken on the report of a special prison committee which found conditions to be “desperate,” and recommended construction of new T penitentiaries, hospitals, local concentration stations for short-time prisoners and establishment of a parole system. Mitchell asked authorization to establish shops in federal prisons.
