Clinton R. Lee Passes
Up a Board Meeting
tFrom 4 staff Correspondent., ,


LINCOLN. May b.-(speciai Telegram.)
Clinton r. Lee Of the Lee Broom and
Duster Company. which has the contract
for the labor OF the prisoners al the peni-
tentiary, had an appointment TO meet the
state board which has supervision over
the prison at o'clock today TO explain
why he had not employed as many men
as. HIS contract calls for. Mr.. Lee failed
to keep the appointment. though he was
around the capitol a short time before the
hour set for the meeting and left. saying
he would return later, AZ the hour for
closing he had not returned.
As on the day previous he objected to
proceeding with the eharing because
newspaper men were present and re-
auestsd an executive session. II Is pre-
sumed he was having an executive session
with himself where no newspaper men
could come and make him afraid.
The members Of the board. and the
governor and warden OF the prison par
ticularly, are anxious that the convicts
shall be given employment. as this lack
Of work Is the only thing which prevents
conditions at the prison from being nor
NAL. Several members Of the board ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Lee would
have 40 come to the center, not only
In the employment Of the men his cdn-
tract called for. but also In paying
promptly for the labor Of the prisoners
and that he could not stsye the matter
off by failure 10 attend meetings arranged
at his request.
II is evident there is a sentiment that
Mr. Lee is trying to trifle with the board
and the members are in no mood to be
trifled with.
One member said: mo date has been
set for another meeting but when 1t is,
and the date will not be long in the
future. you can bet Mr.. Lee will be present
or there viii be something doing.
