Broom and jPuster company, contractur
for the labor at the penitentiary, will
meet tomorrow to thresh out their dif
ferences. Acording to the contract tha
Broom company is to take the labor of
33 convicts daily, but since the day of the
escape of Morley. Dowd and Gray it has
been using from 12S to 175. Its first ex
cuse was that the disturbed conditions at
the prison made operation on the broom
plant at anything near its capacity an
Imsossibility. Later, when prison affairs
resumed the normal Mr. Lee complained
that he was overstocked with finished
goods and could not use the men.
The board, however, has been charging
htm UP' with the number of convtcta he
was under obligation to employ. The
charging wu all right, but Mr. Lee's
company has not paid and the board is
determined that ha shall pay up. use the
number of men he agrees to take or
quit tha Job.
The atate not only w-ants the money
the convicts can earn to help pay the
expenses of the prison.' but the enforced
Idleness of the men Is considered bad.
The myi themselvs prfr to work rather
than be idle.
Tha board take the ground that It Is
none of Its afairs If Mr. Lee la over
stocked, but thatt he Interests of the
state and that of the prisoners must be
protected.
