TO PROTECT FREE LABOR.


Nsuuc " NOuVICt9s
Representative Gardner, of New Jcr-
scy. from the Committee on Labor, has
submitted to the House favorable report
on the Southwick bill to protect free Ia
Dor and the industries in which it is en-.
ployed from the Injurious effects Of con-
Wet labor by combining the sale of goods
manufactured by convict labor to the
State In which they are produced. An
amendment was adopted cxempting man.
ufactured agricultural products from the
restriction imposed. The report says:
Some States having, In great measure,
protected their own business enterprises
and labor from unequal competition Of
their prisoners, send travelling agents Of
their penitentiarics into other States to
dispose Of convict-made goods at prices
that utterly defy competition from those
who employ free labor. 1t Is evident
that this Is wrong which should not be
permitted to continue IL a remedy can be
applied"
The report asserts that nothing less than
the enactment Of such national legislation
as will effectually prohibit the interstate
transportation Of prison.mnde goods will
be found cfficacious. The committee be.
lievc that In the bill reported will be found
such remedy for the wrongs complained
OF as Is within the power Of Congress to
apply and Is desired alike by capital and

Pays the Request.

Mrs. Jane l.. Stanford lost no time,
after winning her suit with the United
States Government, In providing for the
payment Of the $2,5OO,OOO beQuest to
Leland Stanford, Jr., University, left to
the institution by her husband, the late
Senator. For three years the estate Of
Senator St.n.o has been tied up with
the litigation begun by the Government
to collect the enormous sum Of $16, 237, :
600, which 1t was alleged was due on the
Central Pacific Railroad COmpany's
bonds, under the California constitution.
During these three years Of dread that
the estate would be wrecked, II not totally
annihilated, an. with 1t the noble univer-
sity founded In memory of her son, Mrs.
Stanford sacrificed everything In the way
Of personal comfort and the luxuries Of
life to maintain the college, which was In
dire need Of financial aid. She lived the
life almost of u recluse, and began an
economy Of expenditure In every direction
In the management Of the vast estate that
made those who knew her In the days Of
the Senator's lifetime wonder, then pity,
and finally to applaud. She kept the uni
verslty going and had the proud satisfac.
ton Of Mt last paying over the money left
for Its benefit The decision of the Su.
preme Court was handed down March 2,
and the fact that In two months Mrs.
Stanford Is able to hand over to the uni
versity s2,5OO,OOO shows her wonderful
executive ability and the hold she had on
every detail Of the property. This pay
ment means an assured income OF &c.
600 per month to the great institution, no
matter wha. may happen to any person
or persons, and this assured income im'
plies an end to financial distress.
