The state board OF labor statistics met |
| Tuesday to discuss prison labor, and ar |
rive nt a way of abolishing the system. The |
| tables show total prison population OF
| 1920, of which number |, S73 are employed |
| under contract exclusively, being greater
number than in any other State, except
| New York. These convicts are employed
| in eight industries, as follows: In manu-
| fact urins boots and shoes $685. brickmak
| ing, 60; cOoperage, 2O4; hollow-ware, l20,
| harness and collars, 127; knitting 81
| stonework, 27O; wire and wire fence, lab.
| There are $40 employed for account Of the
J various institutions. 10 at work at Chi
\ cago on the piece-price plan in cane-seatin-
! chairs, and I99 engaged in prison duties
| The report discusses the results of prisol
contract labor upon free labor outside, and
regards the policy OF attempting to make
| pc al institutions self.sustaining rs wholly
| vicious. The effect OF prison labor upon
| various industries is elabOrately worken
| out in the statistics. One OF the tables
shows, for example, that out OF n total OF
| 1,O99, 700 packages OF cOOpcrage consumed
in Chicago last year, 67 per cent. was man
| uiaCtured in prisons. In another table il
| is shown that contract business in cooper
age has increased in this State 800 per
| cent, in ten years, while the increase of pr
| vatc establishments outside has been 81
per cent. In the same time the average
annual earnings OF cOopers outside has de
creased more than onc-fourth, and the
price Of their products more than Onc-third,
all attributable largely, or entirely, the re
port AYERS. to the influence OF ofcunvict labor
under contract at mere nominal prices,
The showing Of results is much more com
| plete upon cooperage than any other class
| of work. The board held three days ses-
sion at Springfield.
