TO HANDICAP CONVICT LABO
Measure of Relief FnvOrnbly Re
ported to Congress.


WASHINGTON May 1.-Representative
Gardner of New Jersey from the committee
on labor. has submitted to the house a favor
able report on the Southwick bill to protect
free labor and the industries in which it is
employed from the "injurlous effects of con-
vict labor by conining the sale of goods
manufactured by convict labor to the state
in which they are produced. An amendment
was adopted exempting manufactured pro7-
ucts from the restrictions imposed. -
There is no disputing the fact" the re-
port says, that the employment Of 10000
convicts in the several prisons and penteI-
tiaries in the United States is one of great
Importance and that its satisfactory solution
requires the exercise of the soundest judg'
ment and wisest counsels on the part of
those whose duty 1t is to legisate on the
subject.
1T is not designed by this bill to attempt
to interfere in the slightest degree with the
right of each state to employ its convicts,
and to dispose of the products of their labor
in any manner or by any system or plan
that may appear wisest and best to its citi-
zons All it seeks to accomplish is to con-
fine the results of the operation to such sys-
TEN, so far as possible, within the state
lines and to prevent resulting evils, whether
necessary or otherwise, from extending to
and njuriousy affecting the citizens CT those
other states WnlCn make ulHsTSNl IlspUSIliUl
of the time and labor of their prisoners.
"Some states, having IN a great measure
protected their own business enterprises and
labor from the unequal competition OF their
prisoners send travelling representatives. of
their pCnitentiares into other states to dis
pose of convict-made goods at prices utterly
defying competition from those who employ
free labor. 1t is evident that this is a
wrong which should not be permitted to con-
tinue if 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-made goods will be
found ef1cacious. The committee believes
that in the bill reported will be found such
a remedy for the wrongs complained of as it is
within the power of congress 10 apply and Is
desired alike by capital and labor
The house committee on immigration today
authorized favorable reports on bills intro
duced by Representatives Corliss of Michigan
fnd Mahsny of New York. Mr.. Corlss' bill
was drawn for the purpose of preventing
persons residing in foreign countries from
competing with laborers in this country. 1t
is especially aimed at Canadian labor,

UNIVERSITY AND utGH SCHOOLS.

LINCOLN. Neb., May t.--(Speciai) THE
last legislature passed the free High school
attendance law to take effect at exactly the
time when the State university found II
necessary to close its first preparatory year.

bilious students in the country districts can
obtain the necessary preparation for the uni

During the present year there have been
two accredited or approved lsts-two state
ments of II gh school standings, one the
State university accredited list" and the
other the state superintendents list OF APP
proved high schools under the new free
attendance law. 1t is the purpose Of the
state department and the university faculty
to consolidate these two lists for the coming
year. There will thus be formed a single
state accredited liet.
\ system Of GcCrcditing by credits or
points. similar to the one now In use by the
university is adopted. one credit which
will be taken ae the unit In this system, Ia
defined as follows: The work cf class in
a well equipped and efficient High school for
one semester of not less than eighteen
weeks. with five reCitatious per week OF
from thirty Ave to fifty minutes each, ade-
quate time being devoted to the preparation
OF each lesson.
Upon this basis the state department and
the university faculty will determine the
number of credits to which each High school
is entitled. The number will be asccrtained
from the data contained IN reports supple
meRted wherever convenient by personal
inspection of the equipment and work OF the
school The university will inspect all High
schools to be placed upon its accredited list.
High schools will be divided into five
classes, according TO the number OF credlts
given the highest comprising those schools
which fully prepare for the freshman year
in the university.
During the coming year schools with thir-
teen credits will be placed on the university
/ 1.RN . lNn nc nj
year of the university will be dropped at the
end of the year, twenty credits will be re-
uuircd to place High school on the ac-
credited list, though now as hereafter credits
earned in schools not fully preparing for the
university will be recognized as far a' they
cover required subjects.
