Convicts Will Not Get Work in Tailor Shop Governor Shallenberge: Declines to Sign Contract Permitting Them to Be Thus Employed, (From a Statf Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb, April 25.—(Special)— The state will not contract with the St Louls garment making firm which made @ bid for the use of the convicts. The firm desired to install a tailor shop in the state penitentiary and use the convicts for the manufacture of clothing for la- borers. The HBoard of Public Lands and Buildings thought favorably of the tallor shop idea, believing the state could get much more -money for the use of the con- victs than it could by letting them out to the broom factory. The clothing firm had already signed the contract agreeing to pay from 60 to 85 cents a day for the prisoners and the matter was put up to Governor Bhallenberger, who under the law has the final say in the matter. When the news of the proposed oontract was published the various labor unions of the state, together with the manufac- turers of laborers’ olothing, got busy on the governor to get himi to refuse to per- mit the manufacture of such articles In the penitentiary. The governor Investi- gated and then refused to sign the con- tract, From his office the following state- ment was given out this afternoon: Governor Shallenberger states that he does not favor the contraoct upon investiga- tion for the reason he feels in the first place it is unfair to free labor to be put In competition with prison labor, and the fact that the parties who desire the contract in question make & proviso that if the gar- ments made at the penitentiary are to be stamped ‘‘prison made” the contract Is to be ended Is evidence of the fact they realizé the intense prejudice among people gener- ally against prison made goods. 'lyhfi governor belleves that the present makers of brooms at the penitentiary will take all of the idie labor at as good & wage as the garmentmakers will offer, and that since the contract with the broommakers has-been already renewed, for several yea no oblection cun be made to this Increased employment. ~ The _governor has been strongly in favor of employing a portion of the labor in the fields raising sugar beets, | as a healthy and remunerative employment and something that will not in any way affect honest labor. A further objection is that garmentmaking is a line of work that in all free factories is generally performed by women, and male convicts, 1f taught to While switbhing at Bilaworth (his | Sesas wosld et Bave any’ wrade’ whioh harge would not have any trade which would be of value to them in the future.

The matter of finding employment for the convicts that will keep them healthy and glve them the necessary work that dis- cipline demands and at the same time make the prison as self-sustaining as possibls is | 50 badly | & difficult problem, but Governor Shalien- berger ays that he belleves it can be solved without reducing the earning capacity of the honest and industrious people of the state who are dependent upon their dally wages for thelr support WYMORE WETS WIN A POINT Council Will Receive Applications for Szloom Licenses.

LINCOLN, April 28.—(Special.)~Henry Rohwer of Bt. Louis and Francls W. Col- lins of New York, engineers, spent the day with the rallway commission and Governor Bhallenberger discussing the physical valua- tion of rallroads in Nebraska under the law enacted by the recent democratic legis- lature. Mr. Rohwer is the engineer who bullt the Missouri Pacific rallroad in Ne- braska and he also valued the Union Pa- cific from Omaha to Lincoln. He was a resident of Omaha from 1869 to 1387 Mr. Collins came to Lincoln recommehded by BEngineer Gillette, who valued the ral- roads of Washington and who offered to do the Nebraska work for $1,000 a month and expenses, providing he had to give only about haif his time to the work. He later withdrew his proposition, as he did not have time to attend to the work Prof. Cooley, Who did the work In Michi- gan, made a definite proposition 1o the commission after he had given that body some ideas of how he thought the work should be done. The Michigan werk was done In four months and at one time Prof. Cooley had 13 men employed, which shows the possibilities the governor ef Nebraska has on bullding up his political machine. Money Will Not Go Far. The rallway ccmmission has $0,00 to spend In finding the valuation of rallroad property In Nebraska as well as the valua tion of ether corporations hamed in the law. It i the intention, however, of the com- mission te work first on the steam rail- roads and it is figured the $40,000 will be exhausted even before the commission reaches the railread of the stock yards, over which there was such & row between Mr, Ransom and the members of the legis- lature. Other engineers will be hers during the week and as soon as possible the commis- slon will double what it wants to do and then it will march across the hall to the governor and ask his consent to do it, for the law leaves the appointment of engl- neers and he helpers to his excellency, though he has nothing to with the work of the rallway commission. Rallway Commission the Big Stick. The town of Gresham has a telephone in its depot and its complaint never came up for final hearing before the rallway commission. The oitizens of that town who filed the complaint against the Northwest- ern to compel it to install the telephone, notified the commission today that the telephone had been Installed, was in good ftalkgng condition @nd asied that the complaint be dismissed. This was done, Sweetwater Gets Depot. Sweetwater has a depot and the Bur- lington raflroad put in there, following the filing of & complaint with the rallway commiesion. The citisens of the town no- tifled the commisston this morning to als. miss the case as the Burlington had come @cross without a formal hearing hearing and the people were, satistied and happy.

The firm in- formed the secretary of state that it aid bueinees In many states and had an im- mense capftal stock If 1t were 1l totaled, but by no means {s all of its capital stock invested in Nebraska or used in Nebraska. It desired to know whether 1t would have to pay the tax on the capital stook used in Nebraska or on its entire capitaligation. The question wae referred to the attorney general. Mothers’ Day May 9, Nebraskans will again be called upon to observe “Mother's Day.” Secretary Mayne of the Young Men's Christlan assoctation called on the governor today and asked that he fesue a proclamation calling upon the people to observe the day.
