LABOR STATISTICS.
Colonel Wright at Work on His Fortheom'
Ing Report.

hE htpoft+
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Colonel Wright
Commissioner OF Labor. expects TO complete
his second annual report about January. Ii
is graphing with some Important aud far
reaching questions. First, he agrees to
have q complete Investigation OF convict
labor and It's effects upon free labor. The
result of this inquiry will show that taken
as whole. the value OF the product OF
manufactured goods produced in prisons,
and of work done BY conycts, bears small
proportion TO the total products OF the
country. Examined, however, In details,
the facts will disclose that certain lines OF
industry have undoubtedly beel seriously
injured by the empioyment OF con-
wet labor to the detriment OF fres
labor. The total prison population OF
the United States at the present time
is 57,33l-of this number 52,730 are
at work aud 4,592 idle. or the total num-
ber at work s,S3S are male and 1901
female. The methods OF employment are
interesting. There are under contract H.
939; under lease 0,2yl; employed at piece
work, 2, $50; employed on public account,
l,6g7, and in prison duties, $3.50. New
York enjoys the gloomy pre- eIninenee or
having the largest prison population, aggre-
eating 9,032, and Pennsylvania ranks
second, with 5.i33: Massachusetts comes
next, with 3,sl9; Illinois, $500; Ohio, 1924;
Michigan, 2,62s; Texas, 1888, and 50 on
down to Mr.. Bayard's pocket borough
Drlaware-whlcli closes The list with eighty
nine. These conycts are principally EN-
gagged IN fifteen pursuits, as follows: Agrl-
cultural implements, boots and shoes, build
ing, carriages and wagons, clothing, con-
struetion, farm, furniture, iron goods,
labOrers leather goods, mining, stone wOrk,
wooden goods prison work. The average
contract prices paid for this work is
from 40 to 90 cents per day. The effect OF
this Is undoubtedly TO depress prices and
labor in the industries In which prison labor
comes in competition with free labor For
example, prison labor in the manufacture OF
boots and shoes has depressed the prices of
these goods, some say, as much as twenty.
five per cent. The States in which the con.
tract system prevails are Connecticut Hi
nos, Indiana, low, Kansas, Mary Hand,
Massachusetts, Michigan. Minnesota, MIS-
sOuri, New Hampshire. New York, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island, Texas,
Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wis.
c0nsin. In three OF these States, however,
the contract system has recently been
abolished by law. These are New York,
Pennsylvania aud ONO. The contract sys.
TEN has also been entirely aboiishe receut-
ly in California and New Jersey. In these
States the piece plan has been substituted.
