Before drawing up the plans for
the new house of correction, the Mil
yankee supervisors visited prisons
throughout the country and adopted
the best feature OF each. But besides
these, they ave introduced some new
ideas which have never been carried
out, at least to any extent.
One of the new features of the
new system will be outdoor work for
the Fresh air and sunshine
are e moral as we'll as physical
cures. Two hundred and eighty
four acres of land have already been
purchased, on which the new build
ing will be erected. This land will
provide occupation 70 two-thirdS OF
the inmates, and only the most hard
ened offenders will be employed on
inside work. The others will raise
garden truck for the consumption or
the inmates. This will not only les
sen the cost of the institution, but
VIII also give the men a direct inter-
est IN their work. They will have the
satisfaction of feeling that they arc
Ieedlng themselves, and this will give
them a certain feeling of s~elf-respect.
"A lew OF the men will be employed
IN the stone quarry which is situated
on the farm. However, the old meth.
obs OF the stone pile" will not be in
vogue here, but machinery will. dc
the heavy work. The crushed stone
from the quarry will not be sold to
contractors, but will be used on the
Milwaukee roads. Since the last ses.
sion of the Wisconsin legislature,
Milwaukee County has the absolute
power to build its own roads, without
the Intervention of contractors. In

The Injustice of Some
Wholesale Firms

In the article which appeared in the
columns OF the Labor Argus last week
dealing with the extreme injustice
handed out to the employees of the two
Wholesale firms, Ruffner Bros. and the
kanawha Drug Co., We failed through
an oversight to include the firm of
Lowenstein and Sons, who are like
wise squeezing every penny possible
from the brow of ruose uncrowned
kings their employees by the fact that
they never did and do not yet espec
their employees enough to give them
Saturday evenings OFF.
But what are we working men good
for anyway. other than TO be ground
into a Srist of grain? Why should
they want a little more time each
week to spend with their wives and
babies whom they love dearcr than
they do their own lives; and to whom
they might carry a little more sun
shine?
Solomon said, "All is vanity and
veNation Of spirit" and thus we find
it with the Working class ever unto
this day.
These so-called respectable business
men, commonly known as Christian
Gentlemen have little or no regard
for the rights, hopes and aspirations
which come to every man, woman And
child, who give their lives for daily
bread; and who are the means of pro-
duc1ng everything in the world that is
of beauty. wealth and use.
If these good people really had any
love or fellow-feeling for their unfor-
tunate brother, for his wife and chill
dren, and for the generations that are
yet to be, they surely would not want
to deprive them of a little time Tor re
creation, thought and self-improve
ment.
a man who tolls has little time to
spend with those that are near and
dear to him, saying nothing of his
tired body after having spent hours in
subsection and servitude.
1t occurs to the writer that if these
employers were not money-mad they
would have acted fairer long ago.
They no doubt love their own families
and like to be with them, but thai is a
different thing.
Oh, We pious Cody Mem" how can
we! ask others to do that which ye
would not do yourselves? How a ye
have the audacity to make your wage
slaves pile up vast riches, silver and
gold, which We cannot take with ye
when departing this life? Neither
can your children after you.
Now in conclusion we ask all
broad-minded men who believe in JUS
tice, truth and h rights of every
man, and, child, what they
think of these Respectable Business
Men'-thcse pillars of the Church?
What DO you think of these men
whose Alpha and Omega, whose very
existence is profit, exploitation and
sclfishneSs?
