Cunningham of St Louis Seeks Contract for Their Labor. PLANS TO INSTALL MACHINERY State Hoard Thinks Berlmlr of ProiHMttloW that Will Net Slat? Oat a Dtr a Mm. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LIKCOE.N. April 17. (Special.) W. L. Cunningham of BU Louis Is anxious to em ploy the prisoner li. the state penitentiary in a tailor shcp. Mr. Cunningham called on the members i f the Stste Board of Public La.uls nml Buildings this afternoon and proposed to employ every prisoner who is abl. to work In the manutacture or clothing for laborers. Should f'-i board agree to his proposi tion Mr. Cunnlng'.iam aald he would In stall about $ISX worth of machinery and ret busy at oiicfc. He told the board It would cost the state less than the broom factory costs In the matter of heat and power. L'nder the contract with the Lee Broom- company the board cannot let all the prla oners to the pioposed contractor, but it la the opinion of the board Mr. Cunningham trill be willing to use a portion of the men, ibout 123, for the present. The Lee con tract calls for not more, than 250 men. When It first began to dicker with the St. Louis man the board was under the Impression It could terminate the Lee con tract on six months' notice, but upon ex amination It discovered that the contract could be terminated after six months notice provided tne state used the con vlcts. This was put in the contract with the expectation that the legislature might take some steps to put In a twine factory or other manufacturing plant to be run by the state. It Is expected. If a contract is made with the St. Louis man that It wilt net the state about 60 cents a convict a day.' Mr. Cun ningham is anxious for a long-time con tract and will meet with the board again Monday. Under the law the governor makes the contract and It la approved by the board and action today .was delayed because the governor could not meet with the board. Should a contract be made with Mr. Cunningham the use of the convicts In raising sugar beets would not materialise, which would be very pleasing to the war den and to members of the state board. Mr. Cunningham told the board if he ' were permitted to use the six female con victs ha could furnish the state Institutions with socks and stockings at 46 cents a doxen pairs.
