Lorain jailer calls death a scapegoat in Tolson case
Corrections Officer James P. Gallagher says he is being blamed for the Tolson suicide in Lorain City Jail. He says he followed procedures, found Tolson sleeping, and that others would have noticed if he tried to kill himself. He admits missing a torn blanket strip but says it was not reported to the lieutenant.

Workers Say LORAIN-USX Shipment Is a Low Blow
Lorain Ohio workers at LORAIN-USX Corp accuse management of a "low blow" after yellow-banded pipes and junk steel moved by 81 boxcars from a sealed plant. A $12-an-hour millwright with 17 years warns against replacing skilled labor with near minimum wage workers. Bricklayer Arend, also $12 an hour with 18 years, says arrests of workers for court-order violations will test equality before the law.
