Boston's Prison . Rebellion Encls

BOSTON (AP)-Four long-term convicts. who held five guards hos- tage in Massachusetts state prison for 8 days in a desperate bid for freedom. surrendered mcekly Friday to a seven-man civilian committee.

The committee. through its spok- esman. Erwin D..Canham. editor of the Christian Science Monitor. said no "bargain or deal" was made.

The convicts were promised only that evrything will be done to work with state officials ”to get something so that these convicts would have some hope for the fu- ture.

NONE HARMED

The four. who had offered to trade the lives of their hostages for a getaway car and a clear path to freedom. gave up their pistols and knives and released the guards and six other prisoners who were held against their wishes in the solitary cell block of the anti- quated 150-year-old prison. None was harmed.

The men are Theodore (Teedy) Green. b ank robber and jail breaker; Walter Balben. robber- gunman; rapist Joseph Flaherty. and cop killer Fritz Swenson.

Green had warned during the siege that for "every shot fired at us. a guard dies."

FOOD FOR IIOSTAGES The hostages were served hot

meals daily with the acquiescence of their captors and under the stipulation the convicts would not touch the food. The cha lalns saw that the food went only 0 the hos- tages. The prisoners had a limited amount of food in the solitary cell block.

The siege ended Just short of 82 hours. The outburst started early Tuesday morning when the four convicts sawed their way out of their cells and seized the guards after falling to escape with the aid of a makeshift ladder.

WEPT DURING MEETING

The rebels made things quite comfortable for the committee dur- ing the negotiations. Canham said: "We found a most amazing scene- ll chairs in a neat circle with a table in the centre and a pad and pencils-facilities for a well-or- ganized conference."

The committeman related that Green. named at the outset as the ringleader in the revolt, wept dur- ing the negotiations. On Wednes- day he had turned down the per- sonal plea of his own daughte Barbara, 17, to surrender. -

Father I-iartigan. who heard the confessions of four Catholic guards shortly after they were captured. said he and Dr. Marlin had come to the conclusion that the chief grievance of the convicts was that they had no hope in ii .

Councillor McDonough said he would make a report at the state

City Council Controversy Over Temporary Employees

Following a meeting of the street Committee, Councillor P.R. Mccormac. chairman of the com- mittee informed a meeting of the City Council yesterday afternoon that no unanimity of opinion had been reached among the members of his committee in regard to the laying off of any of the City's temporary employees.

The special meeting. called at (:00 o'clock, was for the purpose of considering a report of the street committee. when it was charged by His Worship and sev- eral members of the council. that there were more men on the pay- roll than there was any need for. Councillor Keefo was -not present at the meeting.

Coun. Mccormao felt that in order to maintain the necessary services to the City and to be ready for any emergency that might arise. I reduction in the staff of the street employees would not be warranted gt this time. He asked that a committee of three, consisting of himself, Coun. E.

New Shutdowns

HALIFAX. (CP) -Angry union chieftalns fighting the inexorable advance of oil into the traclitlonal

markets of Nova Scotia coal blamed the federal government Thursday for many of their troubles.

Two locals of the 11,000-member United Mine Workers (CCL) dis- trict 26 turned their attention to

the dwindling markets that have forced the closure of three pits this month, idling about 2,200 pit workers, and brought the Mari- tlmes'blggest industry face to face with its worst post-war crisis.

John H. Delaney, a UMN iiiter- national board member, assailed the government in an address to members of the union's l-B local at Glace Bay for failing to intro- duce a national fuel pohcy. He accused Ottawa of laxity in deal- ing with the problem and said it had not taken the steps necessary to ensure a healthy coal industry in event of war.

ATTACK OIL BURNER!

Delaney and Michael Higgins. UMW district secretary-treasurer. appeared at s mectins 01 the mechanics local the same night to attack business and professional figures who depend on the coal industry for a living but burn oil in their furnaces.

The members voted to draw up a list of offenders as the first step toward unspecified retaliatory action.

Two thousand Miners were put out of work earlier this week when Olace Bay's two biggest mines. Caledonia No. 4 and No, 20. were cloud completely for one week and faced the prospect of a sharply curtailed work week there- after untu the at. Lawrence Illin-

LOSS OF MARKETS

Both the, UMN and the Domin- ion Steel and Coal Corp.. which mines about 6,000,000 tons of coal at year in Nova. Scotia, blame the loss of markets on oil.

The Franklin mine Joined Cale- donia and No. 20 in ldlenw Thursday and the company said the futudre was "unpredictable" because of the market picture.

The Franklin pit employel less than 200 miners but it was the first completely mechanized col- llery in Cape Breton and for that reason enjoyed A special "show- wiiidow” status.
