the installing In Oahu Jail of a shirt
factory or possibly some other man.
which can give employment
to the prisoners confined there and at
the same time prove money.makcr
and help to reduce the expenses OF

Prison, Hawaii Islands.
Dear Sir:-Your name has been
mentioned to us by ONE Of our friends
as having an mp.todate Institution. We
do not know what the laNs Of the Isl.
ands are in regard to the leasing of
convict labor. but the writer figured
that no harm would be- done In writing
to you on the subject.
We manufacture In quite a few Of
the different state institutions success
fully and would be in position to
operate In your institution, provided. of
course. arrangements satisfactory 20
you could be made.
We have an idea that there would
be sufficient work.shirt business in
Hawaii and the Philippines to warrant
putting In an industry Of this kind. AMI
should be very glad to hear from YOU
on the subject. We could use any
number of men--could send you CON
petent superintendent who could trair
the help to make the ordinary work
shirt in very short time. The indus
try is n success. Plenty of reference
could be given and we would be pleas
cd to hear from you when the matter
could he gone into further.
Yours truly,
RELIANCE MFG. co.
Mr.. Henry was Immediately struck
with the possibilities of the proposi
