CONVICTS CKUELLY TREATED.
If a Certain Amount of Work Isn't
Done They Are Chained.
Torre Haute, Ind., Dec. C Philip K.
Iteinbold, the Terre Haute labor lead
er, who Is chairman of the committee
appointed at the recent meeting of the
Indiana Federation of Labor to visit
the state prisons, gives an indication
of what the report will show regard
ing conditions at the Indiana reforma
tory at Jeffersonville.
"Corporations holding labor con
tract's." be said, "set the dally task of
convicts so high that it Is practically
Impossible for them to get In any ex
tra work for which they would be paid
cash. In November the total extra re
muneration at tho reformatory was
$7S. Poor material, lnelllcient ma
chines and unjust Inspection prevent
prisoners doing any work for them
selves. "Nearly 300 boys are employed on
the contract for shirts and overalls.
The task Is twelve shirts a day. The
completion of the task Is demanded,
and if not completed the prisoner Is
sent to the 'hole,' which Is a circular
cell barely largo enough for a man's
body. On the bared floor are two Iron
gloves, and into these prisoners' hands
are fitted and locked.
"There the prisoner stands, unable
to change his position. The average
commitment is two days, and in that
time all the food he receives Is a little
corn bread and water. Nine out of
ten are taken to the hospital when
released."

"Do as Rome Does."
The saying "Do ns Rome does"
originated with St. Ambrose In the
fourth century. It arose from a di
versity of the observance of Saturday.
The Milanese made It a feast, the Ro
mans a fast. St. Ambrose, being ask
ed what should be done In such a
case, replied: "In matters of little con
sequence it Is better to be guided by
the general usage. When 1 am at
Milan I do not fast on Saturday, but
when I am at Rome I do as they do In
Itome."
