The supplementary report is as fol-
To the Senate of the State of Kansas:
Mr.. President-We, your committee
on penal institutions, visited the peni-
tertiary on Sunday and Monday,
March 8 and 4. and would respectfully
report: 7-- -r
We, have been visiting the peniten-
tiary for the past six years and find
that it shows an Improvement in all
departments. Good discipline prevails
both among the officcrs and the pris-
oners. and several new features for the
betterment of the condition of the
prisoners have lately been introduced.
The twine plant has been greatly
improved and now has the latest ma
chinery and is turning out a finished
product second to none in quality.
The health of the inms ties of the in
stitution is very good and the hospital
is in fine condition and prisoners re-
ceive as good care as in any public
hospital.
Two things in this line compel our
especial attention:
First-Some provisions should be
made for the care of the criminal in
sane. other than to hold them in the
penitentiary with other prisoners
Second-Tuberculo is now con-
sidered an infectious disease and can be
contra acted by constant and close asso-
citation. Such being true it would be
we'll to have those suffering from this
disease kept in separate quarters where
they could be given better treatment
and where there would be no danger
of spreading the disease And the
committee would recommend that an
additional building be provided for
this class of inmates.
The farm is being successfully man
aged and the hogs especially make a
substantial addition to the income of
the prison.
In fact, the whole institution seems
to be in a very fiourishing condition
under the present management

/ Practically all the members Of this
organization are machinists Of a high
order, as no one is eligible for enroll
ment, who does not come up to the
standard of efficiency Indicated by his
being able to command a prescribed
scale of wages.
This society has been liberal pa
tronizer of the Labor World, because,
in the language Of Brother Ewald,
| whom we interviewed, I'VE realize that
the labor press is the best weapon
Of attack and the strongest wall OF
defense that organized labor possess
ses, and we believe in patronizing it
in every legitimate and honorable
way"
The organization holds it's regular
meetings on the second and fourth
Tuesday evenings of each month at
the AKA building, over Lundberg &
Stones book store. There being COM
paratively little to engage the atten-
ton of the brethren, outside Of the
usual routine Of the organization, the
| meetings are very prof1tably devoted
to the discussion and friendly ex-
change of views, upon questions per-
! tanning to the advancement of the
trades union movement, and the cult
| walton of mutual respect and happier
| understanding, between the employers
| and employees in all industrial pur-
suits.
! "Our lodge is educational, as we'll as
legislative" said Mr. Ewad, land an
| Individual will be more faithful to his
| work. and more devoted to mis- en-
! ployer, by reason Of his membership
in any ocal body of the International
| Association of Machinists."
