Objectors Sentenced to 25 Years in Court Martial
Forty five conscientious objectors mainly from Oklahoma and Mennonite faith were sentenced to 25 years each at Fort Leavenworth after a court-martial found them guilty for refusing to wear army uniforms or work for the military. Trials were held last Friday and Saturday with no defense beyond faith-based opposition to physical force.

Gas Company Seeks Higher Boston Gas Rate
The Boston Consolidated Gas Company filed with the Board of Gas and Electric Light Commissioners for authority to raise the Standard gas price from 90 cents to $1 per 1000 cubic feet while maintaining the 7 percent dividend. The request, under the London sliding scale act of 1996, cites higher labor and material costs as justification.

Factors in Conscientious Objectors' Sentences at Camp Travis
Washington reports that offenses beyond refusal to wear the army uniform are believed to be involved in the cases of 45 conscientious objectors sentenced today at Camp Travis. War Department officials say the punishment would be far harsher otherwise. Disloyal propaganda among camp mates and related factors may have influenced the sentences, though one early objector received a death sentence later reduced on department review. The Camp Travis cases will be reviewed before sentences are confirmed.
