AGAIN.
The following declaration from the Asso-
citation stated has elected attention:
: The Trades and Labor Assembly submits
the following for the consideration of
voters:
The practice of farming out convict labor
to contractors at less than the current
wages of free labor is grievance which has
. for years been complained of by manufac-
turers, whose profits have been curtailed in
order to compete in the market with con-
tractors. and by mechanics who have suf-
fered reductions in wages in consequence
of this unfair competition.
In 1877 Special Committee of the House
of Representatives presented to that body a
report containing mass of evidence on this
subject, and recommended the adjustment
) of the prison contract system. The report
was adopted and ordered printed, but no
action has since been taken on the recon-
mendations of the Committee, and the evil
e complained of continues unabated.
! Believing that this injustice alike to en-
ployer and employe can be remedied with
5 out loss to the State, and for the purpose OF
l securing
Labor Assembly recently submitted to all
the candidates for the Senate and House OF
Representatives from Hamilton County, on
both Republican and Democratic tickets, a
pledge binding them, if elected, to use Their
best efforts to secure the enactment of a. law
prohibiting convict labor contracts. AS
, this is not necessarily party question, but
- one which directly affects some manufac
turers, and in which Trades Unionists anc
s all workingmen are directly or indirectly
& interested, attention is called to the result
7 of the course adopted by the Assembly
q supplemented by little investigation.

g The daily papers, in chronicling the nom
1T ination of Mr.. Conrad Harris for Senator
!. mentioned him as being strong with trade
