PRISON INSPECTORS TO ACT
AGAINST CONTRACTORS.
ASSEMBLY RAISE TOO SMALL
Mcclung Declares Prisoners Be Al.
lowed IS Cents Per Day for La
bor--t,7oo Working Within
Walls Under Contract.

Jefferson City--0n account OF the
heavy increase in the cost of feeding
the $500 convicts In the penitentiary,
ID. c. McClung, warden of that insti-
tuition, and the board of prison inspec-
tors will endeavor to compel the con-
tractors who are conducting manu-.
factories In various lines inside the
walls to increase the rate per day
paid to the state for convicts work
ing under contract from 70 cents per
day to So cents per day.
In extending the contract system
the last legislature fixed the mini
mum rate at rs cents per day per
man. This. increase of 8 cents per
day is not sufficient, Warden Nc
Chung says, to meet the increase In
the cost of feeding the men.
There are 100 men working under
contract In the prison now out of the
$500 within the walls. All of the con-
tracts with the exception of that OF
the ]. NJ. Hays Saddle Tree company
expire Dec. 81 OF this year The Hays
contract does not expire until six
months later.
Warden McClung stands pat on the
position that II the prison bills for
maintenance are to be met from the
earnings Of the institution there must
be an increase In the rate charged for
the labor OF the convicts from 10
cents per day to SIS cents per day.
James A. Houchin, the largest con
tractor in the prison, employing over
1000 convicts of the LOO worked UNI
der contract, Is the chief objector to
the raise. The other contractors prac-
tlcally have agreed to stand for 1t.
The warden and prison inspectors
say that II Mr.. Houchin, who Is the
largest manufacturer of overalls and
working clothes In the United States,
can afford to pay SO cents for con
vlcts in the Virginia penltentiary,
where he has just started a factory
employing 900 men. under practically
the same conditions as exist In the
Missouri prison, he can afford to
stand for the increase here.
Mr.. Houchin declares that the fact
that he car work the men in the Vir'
ginia prison nine hours a day, as
against eight here. and the fact that
he has the pick of all the long.term
men In the former prison, makes his
contract there more valuable and that
he can afford to pay more for the
men.
The increase asked by the Missouri
prison authorities would amount &c

Crafty Pierre was trying to draw
Happy away from Mulligan's.
Happy pursued him like n mad bull,
stabbing at him with the long knife.
Pierre saw that he must act decisive

knife, and sent Happy sprawllng with
a blow on the point of the chin.
Happy gasped and went down like
pole-axed OK. Pierre, approaching
cautiously, dlsarmed him. Then he
saw that blood was pouring from
Happy's throat.
The blow was enough to kill a
man. and Pierre had put all his force
into 1t. He must have ruptured an
artery, for Happy was bleeding 10

fell back. He breathed stertorously,
