WALTHILL. Neb., Jan. 5.-(Special Tele-

which held an all day session here wednes-
day, after listening to explanations offered
by government officials covering the pro-
the winnebagoes. adopted a resolution pro-
testing against the change and threatening
to demand their patents at once IL the plan
Is carried out.
Two hundred heads Of families were pres
emit at the council. Mr.. Kneal, the newly
appointed joint superintendent; A. @. Pol.
lock, the former superintendent; Special
Agent McCouig and Ross L. Hammond
were the white men at the meeting. The
government officials explained to the In
dams tho details and purpose of the new
plt n and the object OF the government in
providing a model farm with expert farm
ers to instruct the Indians. The indians
then went into council and discussed the
project all afternoon. Ten or a dozen
speeches were made, mostly in opposition
to the plan,
Following the discussion it was voted in
case the government refused to rescind its
action and retain Mr.. Pollock to demand
their patents and withdraw from under the
supervision of the department.. The trust
period under which the government con-
tinued its supervision over the Indians
expired several years ago., but was extended
ten years. The extension, the Indians as
sert, was illegal and they assert unless the
old plan is retained they will go into court
and demand they be allowed to take out
their patents.

LINCOLN, Jan. 5.-(Special)-The state
ment Of Labor COMMISSIONS Maupin, presl-
dent Of the state Federation of Labor.
made to the association at its meeting in
South Omaha regarding the contract the
state has with the Plat Shirt company for
convict labor does not gibe with the c1u-
tract as entered into and neither did the
speaker name the responsible parties.
AS a matter Of fact the contract Is not
on file In the office Of the secretary Of
state and iether is it on file in the offics
Of the governor, thought board members
say there we're three copies of the contract
signed.
The contract does not contain a provision
that the manufacturer shall furnish to all
the state Institutions shirts and clothing
at actual cost, as Mr.. Maupin said.
Warden Smith said he had a verbal
agreement with the manufacturers to do
this and he expects to enter into a supple
mental contract covering that point, but
the original contract contains no such
provision and the supplemental contract
has not yet been made.
The proposed contract with another firm,
which the governor refused to sign because
Of his regard for union labor, provided for
more money for the convict labor and did
contain a provision that the manufacturer
should supply state Institutions with cloth
ing and shirts at actual cost.
When Colonel Bergman, who is on the
governors staff, brought a representative
of the Plat concern to Lincoln, the gov
ernor apparently forgot his former state
ment regarding union labor and signed the
contract at the behest Of his colonel. other
members Of the board favored the first
contract submitted, but as the governor
turned that down, the board signed the
Plat contract as soon as It contained the
signature of the governor.
Representatives Of the shirt concern were
at the prison today ready to install the
machinery and begin work. Late today.
however, the machinery had not been in
stalled.
