WILL USE CONVICT LABOR.
How Austin Corbin & Co. Expect to Raise
Cotton Without raying for Labor.

New YORK, Dec. 20-Austin Corbin a
Co. within few days expect TO hear from
the State penitentiary commission of
Arkansas in regard To a proposition they
have submitted TO that body, which COM
prizes the governor, the secretary OF state
and attorney general of Arkansas.
The proposition in question concerns the
employment OF the convict labor OF that
state, a subject the disposition OF
which has caused the local authori-
tics great deal OF trouble. The last
legislature cancelled all outstanding con-
tracts for the labor of the states con-
victs, owing 10 the complaints made
as 90 tho scattering OF the business
throughout the state and the de!eteri-
Gus effect which cheap convict labor had
on honest labor, particularly after many
ccnvicts We're sst TO work in the manufac-
ture Of cigars.
Corbin& Co. own 5000 acres OF land in
Chicot county Ark, one OF the best cotton
producing ccnircs. They have 1910 acres
OF land under cultivation on an island In
Chicot Lake, which surrounds 10 on three
sides with the Miss issippi on the
fourth, aud which comprised altogether
about ~, ,oO0acrcs OF splendid woodland and
soil sufficiently fertile for cotton
raising purposes. Tho fact that
this farm was on what
was practically an island was pointed
20 rs one OF its best recommendation ns
spot whore convict labor could be
utilized with a minimum number OF
guards and with the least possible I'M

nory labor was employed. The only neck

the Wilson bill either to reduce wages or
close up the mills. The operatives should
work In harmony and devote themselves
TO influencing fellow employees in other es-
tablishments to join them ina moyement
in which they were vitally interested
Tho gotest and Resolutions
The protest and accompanying resolu-
tions were in. keeping with the sentiments
OF the speakers and were as follows;
To the Honorable the senators and Representatives.
OF the State % Rhode Island IN the Congress OF
the United states.
We the employees OF the J. 4 r. Coats Thread
company, Pawtucket branch, in mass meeting as
sembled IN Music hall, Pawiuckot, r. D., Tuesday
evening Dec is 1898, having heard OF the reduction
In the tariff on SPOOL cotton and cotton yarns pro-
posed bg the committee on ways and means, and
fully believing as We do. that such q reduction Will
seriously iniare the spool cotton trade in tho
couuiry ana Consequently operate disastfously
Resolved, Thata copy OF this protest be presented
10 each Of our senators and representatives IN con-
gress rs early as possible
Resolved. That committee OF Ave be appointed
10 decide upon the best means OF presenting these
copies, with power % act
The chairman appointed Messrs. Charles
McAlice, William III. Tracy, James Pear
son, William r. Morrison and Frank
Head TO present the protest to
the congressional representatives. AS
a significant evidence OF the independence
and self-reliance OF the operatives, they
voluntarily insisted upon defraying the
expenses of the meeting, and recollection
that was taken at the close OF the
meeting was sufficient TO meet
every obligation. They employed
Parkinsonia orchestra which gave
a spirited concert and another divert
ing factor was tho series OF anecdotes by
William 1T. Tracy. The meeting was
pronounced success in striking contrast
with the characteristic indignation meet
ings of mill operatives conducted by rant
ing labor agitators in which employers
are denounced as tyrants and oppressors,
and the wage-earners melted TO belligerant
and disasterous action FOR the protection
OF their Interests.

a WONDERFUL HAND.
An Artificial Substitute Nearly ms Perfect
as the Natural Member.

An Artificial Substitute Nearly as Perfect
as the Natural Member.
Willard A. Lucas. the son Of great
woolen manufacturer at Poquetannuck,
Conn. wears an artificial hand made
Of aluminium which IL really one of the
automatical wond~s OF the century.
Young Lucas lost his hand in his ia
theirs mills. and Lucas. Sr.. who grieved
exceedingly oves the results of the ac-
cident. wrote or went in person TO every
known manufacture. OF artificial limbs
in this country and Europe, vainly
seeking n false hand for his son. Arti-
fetal hands could have been procured
from any of them. but what was want
ed was not 90 be found--viz, q hand that
would perform all the functions Of a
real flesh and blood member.
Finally tho elder Lucas, who Is
known as rare mechanical genirs,
took it upon himself to make his son
hand--not mere dummy" but ono
that would be useful for the manifold
purposes to which such members are
put. The result is surprise To every
maker of artificial limbs in the world.
The automaton is of aluminium and
much resembles the steel gauntlets
worn by the knights OF thu middle ages.
The fingers are all perfect and iifelikc.
tho joints i'm each ban,ling as readily as
those in natural land. making il pos.
sible for tho young man 10 perform ev-
cry kind OF labor. An expert report on
this wonderful piece Of IN nschanism reads
as follows:
with il he can grasp and handily
use all kir.ls Of tools, pick up things
from the ground, drive, handle gun
in fact. use it quickly and skillfully mt
any kind Of work. Like a natural hand,
the artificial one consists Of palm that
is provided with fastening by which
it Is attached to a cork stump the
joints working by n ratchet, 30 that the
fingers may DO bent forward mt any
angle and held there. The hand may
be only partly closed or tightly shut.

THEIR LAST MEETING.
FTNAE SESSION or TIE BOARD OF
ALDERMEN HELD TOMORROW
Several Very Important Matters Before
tho Board That Ought to Ee Passed
Upon by Them.

The board OF aldermen will hold its
final session tomorrow afternoon, and
several important matters will be passed
upon, particularly in the nature of con-
current business. These include the bills
creating the board of fire commission
ers, appropriating 100000 for park inn
proyement and an amendment
of the plumbing act. The
resolution providing for the en-
ployment of the poor on the extension OF
Roger Williams park at 70 cents day for
eight hours work, and the construction OF
a retainining wall in the harbor from
Hills wharf TO Harbor Junction pier will
doubtless be given consideration. II Is
impossible to predict the. fate OF the
measure seeking TO provide work for the
unemployed, but it is certain that
an attempt will be made to
increase the rate OF compensation and TO
legislate for the discharged employees in
the highway department, who number
something like eight hundred, according
to the statement OF Commissioner Smith.
The fire commission bill is likely to meet
with its third rejection because the board
do not feel inclined to surrender their
rights in the choice of candidates TO the
coordinate brnnch,w is so lavish in the
majority on concurrent vote. The most
prominent candidates are members of the
present city council, and il happens that
they predominant in the popular branch.
Mayor-elect Olney, who is not in the big
Six" combination this year is Afforded
fine opportunity TO relegate prominent
members Of the majority TO obscure and
unimportant committees and thereby dis
solve the union which il re-
sponsible for the delay and incidental
deadlocks which has prevented the
enactment OF important legislation. The
customary resolutions OF thanks to
the retiring mayor and the city
clerk will be adopted, and Alder
man Gilmartin win be the
solitary member open to the condolences
OF his colleagues upon his relagation to
private life. Alderman Olney, whose scat
will be filed by Alderman Watson, will
occupy the chair OF state, and hence con-
gratulations VIII be in order.

How The Wilson Bill Is Affecting a Big
Providence Industry.
HUNDREDS WILL BE MADE IDLE.
Every Screw Mandatory I'm the Country
VIII ne Forced Out of Existence IL
the Wilson nili Passes in It's Present
Form 3rreduction Already Curtaiied

The report OF the immediate shut down
OF the works OF the American Screw COM
pany is claimed from an official source to
be premature, and the statements OF the
conditions which necessitated this action
misleading. The following statement is
authoriZed to be published by the corpor-
alton.
We expect on the 1st OF January next to
be producing not more than one-third Of
our usual product. The reduction In out
put is necessitated by threatened tariff
legislation at Washington. The
Wilson bill provides for duty of 22h
per cent. on scrap iron which costs less
than lzc. per pound 35 per cent. on wire
which is the raw material of all the other
screw makers, and only 30 per cent. on
our finished product, to produce
which necessitates capital that
can be turned only once in two years.
The present duties provided by the Nc
Kinley bill average about 20 per cent
The Wilson bill does not provide rate OF
duty on screws equal to that on
woolens, cottons, silks, and other
staple products, for the produc-
tion of raw material is to be provided free.
The present duty on wire rods (our raw
materially is equivalent to about 80 per
cent, and the Wilson bill reduces this to
80 per cent.
How screw Makers are Affected.
lncidently the information is given that
there are 10 makers OF screws in this
country and it Is generally conceded that
the Wilson bill will destroy the business
OF all but those who may have foreign
plants or may establish them. Our
own company with the help of its Cana
dian and English plants will probably be
able 10 keep its connection until
more reasonable legislation can be se-
cured in case the Wilson bill is passed.
Employees VIII be Laid on
The plan OF the company involves re-
duction of the hours OF labor and the ul-
innate discharge of some 800 employees
in order TO curtail the output.
Some OF the departments have been closed
but it is necessary to keep the works in
operation in order TO fill orders on handan
comply with contracts entered into. As
to the reported transfer of the plant, it is
stated that the company has not considered
il, and hence have not authorized any
public statement to that effect.
