More than 150 other prisoners are In the penitentiary hospltaj. and from sixty to seventy of these are In critical condition. The penitentiary housed 4,300 convicts, some 2,500 above the intended capacity, when the fire, be lieved to have been of incendiary origin, fanned by a stiff wind, swept through the upper ties of four prison blocks.

Left Wing of British Labor Will Paddle Its Own Canoe and Work Toward Socialism BIRMINGHAM, April 22:Labor's left wing is determined to paddle its own canoe. As a distinct entity they will work for "socialism in our time." By a large majority, the Independent Labor Party conference here endorsed Uie parliamentary stand of Labor's so-called rebels, the Maxton group, and authorized the reconstruction of the Independent Lab6r Party parliamentary group on the. basis of "acceptance of the Independent Labor Party policy as laid down.1 The conference asked for a drastic increase in taxation upon wealth to the end of obtaining appropriations for children's maintenance allowances. Reminding the government that it had not been suc-cessful.in'the matter of doles, the conference demanded more in the mattenof unemployed allowances ;and'.&6rrtp1ettf r6r'rlWatifJn of industry-along socialistic line's. There are 30 Independent Labor Party members in Parliament who will follow the lead of the conference and, should the government again get into a tight corner such as they met and vanquished in regard to the Coal Bill amendments and should the Independent Labor Party members vote en masse against the administration, things would go Hard with Premier Ramsay Macdoriald. .
