NO CONVICT COMPETITION.
MoDonough Would Give Only
State Work to Prisoners
Plea for Skilled Labor Before the
Constitutional Convention.
(By Associated Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 25.-At the
morning session of the Constitutional
Convention to-day Mr.. McDonough con-
tinued his remarks in favor Of mis-
amendment abolishlng prison labor COM
petition. but keeping the prisoners at
work
He explained that the labor organiza-
lions had not asked that the prisoners
be kept idle. They could make good
roads, build canals or do other State
work. All that they wanted was that
the products of the prison should not be
put on the market to compete with the
honest labor outside.
He showed by figures that the best of
goods could be produced at .one-half the
cost of outside manufacture by prisoners,
into consideration. No money was now
being made out of prison labor,
He said his measure allowed the farm
ing out of prison labor for state or
the New York Penitentiary, where the
prisoners were kept very busy providing
goods for the various departments OF
charities.
Mir. Pillsbury the Superintendent, had
said that II he was the State Superin-
tendent of Prisons he could keep all the
prisoners in the State employed making
goods for the prisons and other state
institutions and do 1t with profit to the
State.
MIR. McDonough appealed to the mem
bers to consider that they were acting
in humane cause If they passed this
amendment.
Mr. McDonough said that with a cap
ital of sl,5O00 900 invested the deficiency
In the prisons in the last ten years was
over S3,O00.0O0. The contract system
would never come back in this State
No party would ever dare to bring II
up as an issue.
Mr.. Francis, of Troy. in advocating
the bill, allowed that 1t was time to take
State constitutional action, and have
house-cleaning.
Mr. Criswold offered an amendment
to exempt reformatories. and made a
long and vigorous speech In favor OF
prohibiting the work in State prisons
but leaving out the reformatories, be-
cause they were schools.
Mr.. Pratt hoped that Mr.. Griswold's
amendment would prevail. or else that
the entire proposition of Mr.. Melon;
| ough be defeated. He hardly believed
that the Constitution was the prope!
place for such proposition. He defended
| the reformatorles in an able manner
saying that they were simply trade
schools, and that their inmates were moi
criminals, but were expected to turn ou
good citizens.
Mr.. Springweiler read a long protest
against prison labor and for the amend
ment of Mr.. McDonough of behalf o
| labor organizations.

STRIKE MAY SOON END.
Grape Believes That Labor Day
VIII See the Last of IL.

(By Associated PressD
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 2J.-
The great strike here will be ended in
the course of week. If the statement
Of w. w. Grape amounts to aught.
MIR. Grape said that he looked for a
speedy adjustment of the trouble, and
when pressed for a definite reply, said
he thought that after Labor Day the
end of the fight would be in view.
He stated further that he believed
the manufacturers were in fault for the
lnnner in which they had posted
the reduction. He thought they should
have given the operatives at least two
weeks notice, and also stated definitely
the amount of the reduction.
He also practically admitted that the
pound system of payment adopted by
the manufacturers, in order to avoid
the particulars in the law. was a fail
ure so far and his statement was
borne ont yesterday when the Wam-
sutta laborers were paid off, for all the
weavers found upon opening their en-
velopes that they were paid the cut.
This Is due to the fact that the man.
ufacturers found that after making up
the pay-rolls the wages were increased
10 per cent. by the pound system.
He said he could propose no scheme
by which the strike could be term-
mated, but was satisfied that employ
ment must be given the 1900 operatives
If crime and iawlessness were to be
avoided.
