(Special. V- The state will not contract with the St. Louis garment making firm which made a 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 Board of Public Lands and Buildings thought favorably of the tailor shop idea, believing the state could get much more -money for the use of tha 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 86 cents a day for the prisoners and the matter was put up to Governor Shallenberger, who under the law has the final say In tha matter. When tha news of the proposed contract was published the various labor unions of the state, together with the manufac turers of laborers' clothing, got busy on the governor to get bins' 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 doe not favor tho contract upon Investiga tion for the reason he fenls In tha first place it la unfair to free labor to be put in competition with prison labor, and tha fact that the parties who desire the contract In question make a proviso that if the gar ments made st the penitentiary are to be stamped "prison made" the contract Is to be ended Is evidence of the fact they realise the intense prejudice among people gener ally against prison made goods. The governor believes that the present makers of brooms at tha penitentiary will take all of the Idle labor at as good a wage aa tho garmentmakers will offer, and that since the contract with the broom makers has-been already renewed for several years no oblectlon can be made- to this Increased employment. The . governor has been strongly In favor of employing a portion of the labor in tho fields raising sugar beets, as a healthy and remunerative employment and something that will not in any way affect honest labor. A further objection la that garmentmaklng is a line of work that In all free factories is generally performed by women, and mule convtcta. If taught to ixirfarm this labor In the prison, on dis charge would not have any trade whfch would be of value to them In the future. He feels tlutt whatever trade la taught a mule convict It should no suon worK as would find him employment after serving his term. ' The matter of finding employment for the convicts that will keep them healthy and rive them the necessary work that dis cipline demands and at the same time make the prleon as self-sustaining aa possible Is a difficult problem, but Governor Shallen berger aya that he believe 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 their support.

Prof. Cooley. who did the work In Mloht gan. made a definite proposition to the commission after he had artven that bodv some ideas of how he thought the work should be done. The Michigan work was done In four months and at one time Prof Cooley had 136 men employed, which shows the possibilities the governor ef Nebraska nas on Duuamg up his political machine.

Cut out heavy meats and soggy white flour pastries for ten days, eat Shredded Wheat and see how much better you will feel then tell your friends about it Your grocer sells it Shredded Wheat is m&de of the choicest selected , white wheat, cleaned, steam-cooked and baked.
