MUCH DESIRED.
EXCELLENT CONVICT BAND

Manufacturing Enterprise Should
Be Started to Keep the Men
Busy.
EXCELLENT CONVICT BAND
(Special to Inter Mountain.)

(SQeClal 10 inter MOuntaln.)
Helena. Dec. ls.-Steps are being taken
by the prison contractors at Deer Lodge
to provide means OF employment for the
large number of convicts under their
supervision behind prison walls.
Thomas McTague was in the city to-
day to make settlement with the
state for the care of prisoners at Deer
Lodge during the previous month. Mr..
McTague says the question of employ
ment has long been troublesome prop
osition and soon as possible means
will be provided to give employment
to all of the prisoners, at least por-
ton of the time.
1T is our AIM said Mr.. McTague, Ito
start the manufacture of some article
that will give employment to the men,
but it has in the past been a diff
cult question to solve. as nearly every
article that we could manufacture in
the prison would come into competition
with union made goods.
strenuous objection is made to con-
Wet factoried goods, particularly goods
that come into competition with union
made articles.
Il believe, however, that We will see
our way clear within a short time. The
development of the agricultural indus
Try through lrrlgatlOn VIII create a de-
mand for binding Irvine and grain bags.
I believe these articles may be made in
the prison and not work hardship on
any class of labor
"Of course we are unable to bring
about the desired result in one day,
but it is my belief that it will not
be a great While until we are able to
give employment to many of the men.
For instance. it will be necessary to
put up additional buildings at the peni-
tertiary, if we propose to start manu-
featuring either on a small or a large
scale The men could be put to work
on these buildings. They would be in
expensive to the state. When we ad-
vertised for bids for the main cell
house, the very lowest figure we received
was $4,000.
I'VE put the men to work and built
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-12-18

and the health of the men is good.
Last month there We're two deaths at
the prison, but this was an unusual num-
ber At present we have the largest
number at the prison on record-404. OF
this number we will this month lose IA,
and next month we will discharge 16..
SO the number Will be materially ref
duced. Fer the last four years the av-e
erage population of the prison has been
342. /

band. The band has about 40 members,
and we play 80 men at all times. Some4
times the number is larger, but ther4
are many more who are taking mu-
sica instructions.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-12-18

the building ourselves and the mate
rial cost the state but $4,000. The labor,
of course, belonged to the state, and the
structure was we'll built for a COMPARE
lively small sum. In this way W.T.
would be able to put up a factory build
ing and manufacture articles that would
not come into competition with goods
manufactured by union labor
4 believe there will be big demand
for grain sacks and binding Irvine. If
we could manufacture these in the prison
it would solve the question and the
state would receive substantial return
from the labor. The institution could
be made SELF -sustaining after While.

The boys have ample time in which
to practice, and as practice makes per-
feet music as we'll as other things we
have a band that cannot be rivaled

come over to Deer Lodge and we will
give a concert for your benefit. About
$50 men are devoting large part of their
time to music.
The library is we'll patronized and

donation made by well disposed persons.
