POPULATION OF PRISONS
STATISTICS SHOW THAT IT IS
STEADILY DECREASING.
This Is Especially True of the In
diana State Prison-visits to the
Institutions.

From statistics at hand Secretary Butler.
OF the State Board of Charities, estimates
that the population of the prisons of the
country is steadily decreasing. This is par
ticularly true of the Indiana state prison at
Michigan City. People who give prison
matters special study conclude that this de-
crease is principally due to the reform
methods in operation in different States
and to the generally prosperous condition
of the country. There is an old saying that
''the devil finds work for idle hands," and
Secretary Butler thinks the adage is ap-
likely to get into trouble.
Secretary Butler. with other members of
the Board of Charities, spent part of last
week visiting some of the state institutions
They visited the state prison at Michigan
City. the Reformatory at Jacksonville and
the Southern Hospital for the Insane at
Evansville. Mr.. Butler returned home yes
terday evening. Abiding to the visits to
the institutions he said AT the Reforma-
tory We were pleased with the conditions
that exist. The general condition of the in
stitution Is improved, the discipline is good
and the spirit, so far as we could detect,
of both officers and inmates is commend
able. Superintendent Beyers is doing a
good work there. All the cellhouses are
occupied, and quite a number of illterate
young prisoners are being received and
taught in a special school conducted half Of
each day. A number of prisoners are be-
ing taught carpentering, painting and tin
smithing, and at the same time they are
given work in each particular line of en-
7. ployment that is needed about the institu-
ton In keeping up repairs. The results Of
the operation of the parole system are very
satisfactory. AS to the Southern Hospital,
the new superintendent. DR.. Laughlin, has
only recently taken hold, and very
DESTROYS that he shall be successful in his
administration of the institution We desire
to encourage him in every way we can in
order that he may bring the institution up
to a proper standard.
las to the prison at Michigan City, the
institution is in excellent condition. The
discipline under Warden Reid is good. The
feeling of both officers and men is COM
mendable. The repairs are well kept up,
and neatness, cleanliness and system seems
to be the rule everywhere. The decrease in
the number of prisoners is to be observed.
There were 76S prisoners present yesterday,
a decrease since the same time last year
of about seventy-five. The average daily
attendance at the prison during the year
1901 was S64. For three or four years there
has been a gradual decrease in the num-
Der of prisoners in the state prisons gen.
orally.

REFUSAL OF MILL OWNERS
THEY DECIDE TO GIVE THE UNION
NO RECOGNITION.
Strike Question May Become a Serious
One for the Building Trades
of the City.

The mill owners of the city yesterday
notified the committee representing the
carpenters union that they did not recognize
The unions as the proper medium through
wnich to conduct their negotiations with
their employees and that they furthermore
had nothing to arbitrate; consequently they
refused to confer with the committee. This
Communication gives a serious aspect to the
trouble between the mill workers and the
mill owners. Some time ago the mill en-
ployes made demand for higher wages
and shorter hours. The matter was put
into the hands of the local district council
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and JOIN
ers, who sent to the mill operators resolu-
tions of the demands of the planners, which
asked that the minimum scale of wages
be thirty cents, where 1t has been twenty
two cents.
The mill planers, it is said, are working
at much lower prices than any of the other
union men. The resolution also asked that
the working day be cut from ten hours to
nine hours and that time and half be
paid for overtime and double time for
Sundays and legal holidays A committee
was appointed consisting of Harry Travis,
of the local Carpenters Union; Frank Duffy,
of the National Union, and John Hirsch, of
the Mill Workers Union, to meet the mill
owners and discuss the situation. The re-
fusal Of the mill presidents to hold con-
ference, however makes liz necessary for
the mill workers to act. The operators say
that labor Is now absorbing all the per
cent of cost justified by the prices they are
able to get for their products and that they
cannot consider an advance. No hasty ac-
ton is expected from the mill men as the
course of action will be decided upon by
the district council at its meeting Tuesday
night The local unions of which there are
six, say they will stand by the mill workers
i'm case they strike. Mr.. Travis said last
night that he was surprised that the mill
presidents would not talk the matter over
with their committee and try to come to
come agreement. He said a strike of the
mill planners meant tie-up of the building
trade. He would not say what action
would be taken by the council. Frank Duffy,
secretary of the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners said that il he had the
power of the council he would call a strike
to-day. There are about 200 mill planers in
the city.
