Industrial School Controversy.

Golden.-In relation to the attack Of
the labor unions on the wiring done
at the school Superintendent Paddle
ford of the State Industrial school,
says that he would be glad to have
a committee from the Electrical Work
ers' union examine the wiring at the
school. For the last twenty-three
years the boys have done all the cleo
trio wiring at the institution and dur
ing this time, he says, there has never
been trouble due TO defective work e.
He objects to the union calling the
boys convIcts and says that the fatn-
ers Of three-fourths of them are union
men.
In addition to the wiring the boys
do all the work about the school, such
as runnlag the dynamos and pumps
blacksmithing, horseshoeing, machine
work, make their own clothes, shoes
and the wagons used at the institu
tion. He believes that all labor
unions would be as much justified in
making complaint as the electricians
The appropriation allowed the schoo
by the .;tate does not justify hiring
all this work done and the boys are
taught these trades under competent
instructors, thus giving them oppor
tunity to make an honest living when
they go out into the world.
