PENITENTIARY BROOMS. - In
the "Bits of News" column of The
Day Book is noted a statement that
Warden E. M. Allen, Joliet pen, is said
to have notified Springfield that he
will resign if not permitted to pick
his own assistants, regardless of civil
service regulations.
Is it the desire Of Warden Allen to
have all employees such as the fore
man of the broom shop, who had new
or seen the inside of a broom plant,
appointed to that position.
Is such a man competent to pass
upon quality and value of broom corn
bought by the state.
The broom makers of the state of
Illinois would also Ike to know why
the law is violated In that no bids are
asked when broom corn and other
supplies are purchased for that plant.
Why a broom corn dealer Of ArCOla
is favored with all this business? How
this. dealer can afford to keep a man
in Joliet at all times to look after this
business?
Why the latest improved machinery
is used in the prison broom plant
when the work could and should be
done by hand, and the law provides
that work shall be done by hand and
foot power.
Why the last report of this prison
shows that brOOms to the value of
$766 were sold to state institutions
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-08-07

and $50, 1899 sold on the open mar
ket and why the 40 per cent clause
is not lived up to?
Who is benefting by the disgust
ing show Of moving picture films,
showing the inmates hiding their
faces to avoid being recognized in
these pictures?
And, lastly, why the products Of
this broom plant are sold through the
Monarch Broom Co., with offices in
the Hearst building, and what do the
statesmen of that concern receive as
salaries?

able to reply, 1 am-WiII r. Boyer,
