CHARGES GRAFT RUNS WILD AT
THE BRIDEWELL
AbsoIving Supt. John L. Whitman
of all blame, Aid Charles E. Merriam,
at last nights meeting of the city
council, charged that graft permeat-
ed every division of the shops in the
BrideweH where city prisoners are
confined.
"The political system which con-
trolls Chicago overlooks nothing
not even the convict, 4" said Merriam.
Convict labor in the Bridewen is
awarded without competition, ac-
cording to Merriam. The contracts
are let by the board of inspectors,
composed of Matthias Aller, DR.. M. A.
Weiskopf and A. A. Burger, recently
reappointed by Mayor Harrison.
The firms named as benefciaries
of the profitable arrangements are
the Chicago Leather and Mercantile
Company, the Chicago Broom Com
pany and the Inland Purse Company.
Neither of the latter two appear in
the directories. The broommakers
pay so cents day. The leather COM
pany pays 35 cents each for the first
seventy-five men and 25 cents each
for additional men. The purse COM
pany pays by piecework on scales
ranging from so to 871a cents a
gross. ....
These rates include not only COM
pensation for the services of the
men," the alderman said, 'but also
heat, light, and factory space. The
house of correction also provides
storage space amounting to. approx

imately 1000 square feet. A NOM
inal amount of SIS a month is receiv-
ed from the Chicago Leather and
Mercantile Company for its storage
space-6,900 square feet-but no
charge is made for the use of $500
square feet by the Chicago Broom
Company.
''In addition, the house of correc-
ton furnishes labor free of charge to
unload cars of material and 2,077
hours of labor were given for this
during the year.
THE contracts are mere verbal
agreements. No bids for the services
of the prisoners have ever been So
icited, and there is, of course, no
competition in the selling of this
labor"
