Euu Board Eater Into Haw Contract

LINCOLN, una l.iSpeclal.) Today the
Btate Board of Public Lands and Building
catered Into another contract with tha Lea
Broom and Duater company for the employ
ment of the conrlcta at the penitentiary at
the rata of 60 cents a day. which prevailed
tinder the old contract The Sterling Man
ufacturing company of Illinois had an offer
to pay 22 cents a dozen for overalls subject
to Its acceptance, and tha members of the
board believed that It would net the state
m satisfactory return for the labor of the
nan. but It was rejected because the board
lid not have tha available funds with which
to Install the machinery and did not wish
to offend tha numerous Nebraska manu
facturers of overalls and shirts.
While tha amount called for under the
lew contract la the same as the considera
tion under the old. soma of the conditions
kre much mora favorable to the state. L'n
ler the old one the contractor could prac
tically dictate how many men he would em
ploy over ISO. and the board had nothing to
ay, even though some of the convicts were
Idle. Under the new contract the broom
mpany la to take all the men offered by
the board, but has the right to a minimum
f 3M. thereby Insuring him a practical mo
nopoly. At tha same time the state Is pro
tected against the possibility of having a
targe number of Idle convicts on Its hands.
Attorney General Brown, who Is prepar
ing tha formal contract, believes that this
last feature regarding tha employment ta
a considerable gain to the state and off
sets the failure to secure the increase In
the per diem allowance. The contract runs
for three years. An effort was made today
to Induce Lea to raise his bid, but he told
the board that he would pay SO cents or
withdraw from the prison, claiming that It
was all the profit In the business Justified
him In paying.
Oajeetloa ta sterllag Caatraet.
Secretary of State Oalusha stated after
the contract had been made that he was
thoroughly satlsfed as to tha merit of the
offer made by tha Sterling company, which
operates overall and shirt factories In the
prisons of seven different states. The bid
of this company required the Installation
of tha necessary machinery by the state,
but It offered to lease what was neces
sary In that tine, to offset the lack of avail
able fund. Recently a great deal of op
position to the establishment of the cloth
ing Industry at the prison has been mani
fested, and tha members of the board have
been subjected to very urgent solicitation
tn the matter. There are four overall and
shirt companies doing business In Lincoln
and one In particular haa numerous stock
holders, all of whom Joined the opposition.
It was urged that the operation of a plant
of that kind with prison labor would de
liver a serious blew to a growing Industry.
Still another argument which had Its effect
was on that the convicts who were taught
to make garments would be without em
ployment when released, while as broom
makers they would ba sura of good wages.
The preeent contract la regarded as block
ing the way for the establishment of a
state twine plant at the nest session of
the legislature: During tha recent session
one of the greatest controversies arose over
the passage of the Ernst bill appropriating
1196,000 for tha purpose.
..Acting on the suggestion of Governor
Mickey tha statehouae was cloned this af
ternoon as a tribute of respect to the mem
ory of Former Governor Robert W. Fur
nas. Tha flags over both ends of tha build
ing were also kept at half staff, and tha
portrait of tha former governor, hanging
In the executive office, was draped In black.
Governor Mickey will go to BrownvUle
with tha funeral party In tha morning, and
moat of the state officers have signified
their Intention to attend. A special train
will be run to convey the friends of the de
ceased from out In tha state. Leaving In
the morning at o'clock It will return at i

effort was being made to compromise the
differences between Leavttt and the In

for the permanence of a snowball In July,
local democrats hope to make use of the
alleged soreness developed by tha repub

In Brown's favor is the fact that he was

CHICAGO. June i. Cornelius Shea, presi
dent of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, was arrested late this afternoon
on a charge of criminal libel preferred by
Robert J. Thome, assistant general man
ager of Montgomery Ward A Co.
Shea was arrested on a capias Issued by
Judge 8. H. Betbea of the United States
district court, following the filing of a suit
by Thome .who. In addition to making the
charge of criminal libel, asks for damages
to the amount of ta.) from Shea. The
suit Is based on Interviews given out by
President Shea to the newspapers and on
statements he Is said to have made to the
effect that he had been offered tlO.000 by
Mr. Thome to call a strike against Sears.
Roebuck Co., which is a large house In
the same line of business as Montgomery
Ward A Co. Shea made the assertions
against Thome before tha county grand
jury In addition to making them to news
paper men. and after making them Insisted,
It is said, upon their accuracy.
Thome Denies All Charges.
Mr. Thome denies all of the alleged state
ments of President Shea, and In his bill
declares that his standing and reputation
as a business man have been Injured by the
assertions of President Shea. It was stated
In the bill that Inasmuch as President Shea
has no stated place of residence and is
called from place to place to take charge
of strikes, it was necessary that he ba ap
prehended and placed under bond.
Judge Bethea at first refused to take
charge of the matter, and directed the at
torneys of Mr. Thome to go to Judge
Kohlsaat with It. Judge Knhlsaat was not
In the federal building, and no other fed
eral Judge was available. Judge Bethea
then Issued the capias and Deputy Marshal
M. E. Patterson was sent to make the ar
rest. President Shea was found at his
hotel, and at once accompanied the deputy
marshal to the office of United States Mar
shal Ames, and from there he was taken
to the court room of Judge Bethea, where
be gave bonds for his appearance, when
wanted. In the sum of 16,000.
Troaale Near mu End.
The agreement of the teamsters to refer
to the Truck Drivers' union the question
of arbitrating the matter of deliveries to
boycotted houses, was hailed by Mayor
Dunne and the members of the Team Own
ers' association as a sign of returning
peace.
The meeting of the truck drivers will be
held Tuesday night. Not a large proportion
of tha business of the truck drivers is done
with the express companies, and a vote
by them to make deliveries to the boycotted
houses will virtually mean the end of tha
strike, although no formal order Is Issued
calling It off.
Segatlatloas on Sew Lines.
Negotiations along new lines for a
settlement of the teamsters' strike
were under way today. A commit
tee of five appointed by tha teamsters' joint
council, with full power to effect a peace
compact at the department stores, awaited
the appointment of a similar committee to
act for tha merchants. Edward Hlllman,
a State street merchant, undertook to se
cure tha appointment of the employers'
committee. Tna representatives of the
teamsters were Edward Mullen, business
agent of tha lumber drivers; John Smyth.
president of the coal teamsters; Peter
Rellly of the department store delivery
drivers; Jeremiah McCarthy, business
agent of the truck drivers, and L. Mc
Arthur of the railway express drivers.
The teamsters' committee was appointed
after the proposition had been fully con
sidered by the Joint council. The1 commit
tee planned to Ignore tha express com
panies. If the Employers' association will
agree to entertain such an agreement.
President Shea of the Teamsters' union
denies any knowledge of the new plan of
settlement.
Would Settle wltk Merchants.
Following the appointment of the new
peace committee came the Influence of
President Bernard Mulligan of the Express
Drivers' local union. In favor of tha end of
tha struggle so far as it concerned State
street stores and the merchants. Mr. Mul
ligan expressed himself as Irrevocably op
posed to making terms with the express
companies unless tha drivers of his union
were re-ngaged.
Mr. Mulligan said: "The express com
panies stand In the way of a settlement on
the original lines, but they should not be
permitted to be a stumbling block In tha
way of an honorable settlement with the
department stores. All that we express
drivers ask Is that the employers do not
ask the Drivers' union when they return to
work to deliver to the express companies
or take goods from them."
There seems little probability of a settle
ment of the department store drivers' trou
bles Independent of the other interests.

Ing for paaia on the employers' side, after
conferences with most of the members of
the employers 'executive committee, said:
"I expect that the employers will have
some kind of a repreieniatlon to meet the
teamsters. However, there will be no re
ceding from-the stand of the employers.
The State street stores will not take their
men back and leave the other concerns
against whom the strike has been de
clared to their fate. They wtll continue to
stand together. No other position will be
entertained."
Disorder on the streets continues on a
small scale. John Brown, an Insurance
agent, was mis taken for a nonunion team
ster toduy, and severely beaten at Thirty
seventh street and Fifth avenue. His as
sailants escaped. Three policemen, guard
ing a wag-on at Thirty-fifth street and Ash
land avenue, were attacked with stones
by a crowd. The policemen used their
clubs, and upon threatening to shoot the
cro-vd fell back.
Charles Smith, a colored nonunion driver,
was fired at. It is said, by one of three
men who were riding In a buggy during
a disturbance at State and Harrison. Tha
