LINCOLN. Neb., April 28. (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.

LINCOLN, April 38. (Special.) Henry
Rohwer of St. Ixuls and Francis W. Col
lins of New Tork, engineers, spent the day
with tha railway mmmbulnn and Governor
Shallenberger discussing the physical valua
tion of railroads in Nebraska under the
law enacted bv the recent democratic! lesria-
lature. Mr. Rohwer is the engineer who
built tha Missouri Pacific railroad In Ne
braska and he also valued the Union Pa
cific from Omaha to Lincoln. He waa a
resident of Omaha from 1869 to 1887.
Mr. Collins came to Lincoln recommended
by Bnrlneer Gillette, who valued the rail.
roads of Washington and who offered to do
the Nebraska work for $1,000 a month and
expenses, providing he had to alve onlv
about half 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 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
