As a matter of fact the contract Is Tiot on file In the office of the secretary of state and lether Is It on file In the of lie 3 cf the governor, thought board niembeis say there were three copies of the contract signed. The contract does not contain a provision that the manufacturers shall furnish to all the stat- Institutions shirts and clothing at actual cost, as Mr. Maupln said. Warden Smith said he had a verbal agreement with the manufacturers to do this and he expects to enter Into a supple mental contract covering that point, but the original contract contalna no such provision and the supplemental contract has not yet been made. Tha proposed contract with another firm, which the governor refused to sign because of his regard for union labor, provided for more money for the convict labor and did contain a provision that the manufacturers should supply state Institutions with cloth ing and shirts at actual cost. When Colonel Berryman, who- la on the governor's staff, brought a representative of the Piatt concern to Lincoln, the gov ernor apparently forgot his former state ment regarding union labor and signed the contract at the behest of his colonel. Other members of the board favored the first contract submitted, but as the governor turned that down, the board signed the Piatt contract as soon as It contained the signature of the governor. Representatives of tfi6 shirt concern were at the prison today ready to Install the machinery and begin work. Late today, however, the machinery had not been In stalled. Divorce for Mrs. Peyton.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS THE CAUSE Latter In Bad with American Federate tlon Omnlhas Demands for Pri vate and Pufello Legislation A.c Before Convention. The Nebraska Federation ot Labor in convention in South Omaha got down to the routine of the session, Wednesday morning and brought up a sort of omnibus of demands. The general work con sisted of the reports of committees. The committee on laws and legislation made reports and several resolutions Involving the policy of the organization and the legislative problems to be undertaken were adopted. The first resolution adopted was that the American Federation be requested to In stall a salaried state organiser In Ne braska. Another resolution requested that the organizer be the president of the state federation, who at present Is W. M. Mau pln. Next a resolution was Introduced demand ing that all tha local unlona be required to affiliate with the state federation. This plunged the convention Into a difficulty with the electrical workers and with the American Federation. The American Federation has refused to admit the seced ing faction of the electrical workers on the same footing as the other craftsmen. The local organization of electrical work ers sent delegates who were at first seated by the convention, but it was discovered the American Federation might demand either their removal or revoke the charter of the State Federation. To obviate this difficulty It waa proposed that the elec trical delegates withdraw and that Uiey be seated as honorary delegates.' Many Speeches Made. Many speeches were made, the leading one by James Fitzgerald of Des Moin?s, vice president of the International Union of Electrical Workers. He said he was anxious to promote Tiarmony, but could see no object In tha union holding only . an honorary place. They should be In or out. At the end of the debate the matter was referred to the committee which Is to re port matters pertaining to the good of the organization. A resolution was adopted Instructing the president to visit Norfolk and organize the local crafts men who by communication in timated that they were ready to organize. The committee on legislation presented a resolution demanding the passage of the law creating a .postal savings bank by this session of congress. This was adopted. Mora Money for Labor Bnreaas. A resolution was adopted under the re port of the same committee asking the state legislature to .increase the appropria tion and extend the powers of the state bureau of labor commensurate with the dignity of tha Btate and the industries to ba supervised. ' A resolution was passed requiring that the officers of the federation present to each candidate for a state or federal of fice numerous questions, such as the fol lowing: Do you favor trades unions, an eight hour day, employment not more than alx days per week, the initiative and refer endum, the recall, restriction of convict labor In competition with honest trades, compulsory purchase of text books by the state In public schools. Jury trial In con tempt caaea not committed In presence of the court, abolition of contract system In public works, labeling of prison made articles, the broadening of the scope of the employer's liability act, abolition of child labor, purchase of playgrounds, equal pay for equal work by men or women, squeez ing of watered stock, election of senators by direct vote of tha. people, the election of federal Judges, laws restricting the num ber of hour of continuous employment by steam and electrical traction companies and tha guarantee of bank deposits? No Answers Now, The federation resolved to make no recommendation on receipt of answers to these questions, but to publish them and let them speak for themselves. These propositions were later Incorporated In resolutions and the federation committed Itself In favor of laws perfecting the sani tary conditions of public buildings, for eight hours contlnous service on railroads, but no more, fur a state accident Insur ance, for a state inspector of boilers, for the labeling of prison made goods, for the restriction of the powers of private police and detectives of corporations, for the creation of the office of bridge and build ing Inspector of the state. Other resolu tions were read and referred to the proper committee for later report. After Grand Island Pool Rooms, GRAND ISLAND. Neb., Jan. 5. (Special.) The Board of Education sent a com mittee to tha city council to see what can be done toward better enforcement of the law on the city's ordinance record regu lating the operation of pool and billiard rooms. Blnce these rooms have been licensed, a few years ago, stricter regula tions hava been drafted, but many high school students are reported by the super intendent to spend their time and money In tha places. In no Instance have minors been permitted to play at any tablea In saloons, and In the exclusive pool rooms It appears that there has been less regula tion. "Minors Not Allowed to Play" con fronts tha public on placards, but mem bers of tha Board of Education report that HOME OF QUALITY CLOTHES sometimes these pool rooms are half filled with young men under the age of 18 and Instances were reported In which as high as $30 was spent at a single session by a single student. The complaint will un questionably be given the most" thorough, attention by the mayor and council, as It Is a violation of an ordinance already In existence.
