The letter follows: 5 “We, the undersigned employes of District of Columbia workhouse. an, Va., are advised that Emantel Ream, a former employe of this institution, is a candidate for the superintendency of the institution. “In the interest of the welfare of this place and in justice to the tax- payers of Washington, as well as to ourselves, we beg of you that you will not send Mr. Ream down here. Some of eur reasons for making this re- Quest are as follows: “'He is a querulous old man, gen- erally .out; of humor. ’He = foul apd profane language in addressing m‘els:"ud inmates. He is afflicted with & very marked case of exag- ego. He has no business no executive ability and is 2 man who delights in humiliating the employes and browbeating the tnates who-come to us through the courts. “‘He is one of those selfish, ar- rogant persons who always abuse authority. When he was Here: before he never cared what sorf of food or cooking the rank and filg employes had to put up with nor how miserably they were lodged as long &s he could get special supplies from -the com- missary and from the poultry yards, gardens. etc, and had a® elegant h for himself.’ g ‘Many of us have been hefe for five years: most of us longer. We are in- terested in our work. We wish to see the institution progress and do credit to its founders. OQur hearts are in our work, and all we ask of you is 2 square deal. We are optimi: enough to feel that we will get it.” John Joy Edson, a member of the penal commission of the District ap- pointed by former Presidént Roose- velt. conferred with Cofamissioner Rudolph yesterday and later held a long session with Secretary .Wilson of the board of charities regarding the proposed changes at Occoquan. Later, though declining to discuss the question for publication, Mr. Edson said that the success of the plan of handling prisoners at n. which is conspicuous for the absence of cells and stockades, is due to the fact that politics has had no part the development of the institution. The penal commission and the board of charities. he stated, gre interesten in seeing that the workhouse, the re- formatory and the jail are managed by the most efficient officials it is pos- sible to obtain.
