TO GRANT
LABOR STATEMENT
Apology Charged in Hiring of
Non-Union Men for White
House Work.

Vigorous objection to what is char
acterized as the Apologize" attitude
of Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, toward
labor unions in his recent explanation
of the award of the White House re-
painting job to non-union contractor
was made today in a letter to Col
Grant from John E. Edgeton, president
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
Union Partially Charged.
Referring to Col Grants statement
that this Office is not prone or inclined
to give contracts to the employers OF
non-union labor, except as required by
the laws governing administrative Of
ficers," Edgerton charged this indicated
Partially toward union labor on the
part of the director of public buildings

announced that Grants statement

New York next week of the National
Association of Manufacturers.
The letter to Col. Grant follows IN
para:
Public contracts are paid for from,
public funds supplied by the taxation
of all citizens alike, and respectfully
submit that neither the law nor decent
sense of American tradition justifies the
plain implication of your announcement,
that public work is to be given by a
public oficer to other than employers
of one kind of labor, save with grudg-
ing regret.
Most Labor Nom Union.
at is conservative to estimate that 80
per cent of the production and services
performed by and for the American
people are rendered by those who are
not affiliated with labor organizations.
Were other departments to practice the
policy which your unfortunate language
and apologize comparisons suggest to
be yours, the Government would arbi-
trarily deny opportunity to obtain con-
tracts and employment to an over
whelming proportion of those who
contribute to the public treasury {"
Il protest, firmly but sadly, the un-
happy apology which you, as a public
ofhcer, have thrust into an otherwise
appropriate explanation of our Govern
ment's incapacity to discriminate be-
tween its citizens. 1t must impress the
public as regrettable endeavor to con.
done the existence Of great principle
without which our Government could
not endure"

TO OPEN
NEW STORE TONIGHT
Reception to Mark Forma
Dedication of Expanded
Facilities of Company.

The enlarged business home of the
firm of Frank R. Jelleff, Inc, women's
wearing apparel and accessories con-
Germ, located at 1216-1220 F street, will
be oficially opened to the public at a
reception this evening, marking new
step in the advancement of this old
Washington establishment.
The company has completed the adj
dition and equipment of three stories
to the building, which adds approx
mately $4,000 square feet of space to
the quarters of the concern.
At the reception this evening guests
who have received written invitations
will be taken on tour of inspection of
the enlarged quarters and additional
and employees Of the concern will eX-
plain the plan for serving their GUS
toners under the facilities of the new
plant No merchandise sales will be
accepted during the evening.
Founded in 1898.
The store is the outgrowth and sue

which became known a little over five
years leater as Frank r. Jelleff, Inc. In
the. years since Mr.. Jelleff assumed a
directing control in the business, the
concern has made progressive advance
ments. it is pointed out.
In the Fall of 1924, the four-floor
Jelleff Realty Corporation Building at
1915 F street was completed and in the
Spring of 1925 the Strong Estate Build
ing at 1218-1220 was occupied to sup
ply additional space needed for ex-
banded business activities. The COM
pletion of the additional three stories
in the building at 1916 F street brings
this portion of the store quarters to
ITO feet with seven stories. The addi-
ton was erected by S. j. Prescott Co.
Inc, from plans by A. P. Clark, jr., local
architect.
Elevator Service Increased.
While most of the additional floor
space in the Jelleff Building will be
used for merchandising purposes, in
GLIDING provision of a fur storage de-
partment, there also is provided q din
ing room for employees and an emer-
gency room. Another feature is addi-
ttonal elevator service.
The enlargement of the building also
made possible a realignment and ex-
pansion of the provisions of other de-
partments OF the business.

Mrs. Stormer is from Tennessee
where members of her family long have

purpose of letting them know that they
are in prison. There are no prison
uniforms. There are not even any
guards-only attendants" Everything
is done to reduce the prison atmoS-
phere" to a minimum. So far as pos
Sible the idea Of punishment Is elimi-
mated, and the man leaving Howard
Hall has had no occasion to have in
creased his grudge against society.
The inmate Of Howard Hall, DIR. Lind
emphasizes, is not set aside from the
rest of the world as criminal, con-
Sidered as a horrible example or any
thing of the sort If he happens to be
an intelligent man, he can talk over
his ideas with the doctors on a basis
OF equality. The system used there has
gradually exerted an influence on other
prisons and, for the United States, may
have provided the corner stone for q
new criminology. Some of the fore
most advocates of more scientific treat
ment of criminals in the country are
men who served an apprenticeship on
the staff of Howard Hall under the
philosophical guidance of DR.. William
A. White, superintendent of the hos
pital.
Pity Attitude Avoided.
The poor, abused fellow" attitude is
avoided. DR.. Lind says. Pity may be
as intolerable to the criminal as con-
tempt, and in any event is likely to
weaken whatever moral fiber he has.
When man is considered cured he is
sent back to the Federal penitentiary
ne came from to serve out his SEN
tence. If this has expired he is re-
leased at once. If he is still considered
insane when his sentence expires ef-

care OF the State of his residence. But
this is not always possible and Howard
Hall has q considerable number of
"lifers."
Discipline and confinement at How
ard Hall is at q minimum consistent
with safety. But so quiet has the pop
ulation been kept that very few in
washington have been aware of the
strange prison in their midst and there
have been very few escapes. The last
were during the World War. For many
years there was not even wall about
the place and at that time escapes
were more frequent. Some were clas-
sic examples of clevernesS. One man,
Q clever swindler, feigned illness so sue
cessfully that he was believed on the
point Of death and naturally watch
fulnesS was relaxed. He escaped, made
his way to England, made q lot Of
money, and now has retired as a
country gentleman.
But actual attempts to escape are
Few because the inmates know thew
have nothing to gain by escaping. II
they are caught they are likely to go
back to the penitentiaries from which
they came, where conditions are less
to their liking. Life in Howard Hall is
more like life in the dormitory the
name suggests than in a prison. The
men adjust themselves to the environ
ment much more quickly than to the
environment of prison, and once they
have done this there Is not much In
centive to change!
The real rub comes when the time
comes to send them back, as was ex-
emplified a few weeks ago when enc
of the country's most notorious GRIM
inals, q man who had been considered
so dangerous in prison that he was
kept almost continually in irons, left
Howard Hall with tears in his eyes.
