To Exclude COnvict-Made Goods
The Manufacturers and Producers
Association, of San Francisco, CAL.
has entered upon vigorous campaign
against convict-made goods being
placed upon the free market. Circu'
lars are being sent throughout the
state, accompanied by postal card,
which is to be filed out and returned
to the association by the receiver OF the
letter. BY filling out this card an
agreement is made to exclude from
business establishments and homes all
stoves known to have been made by
convict labor. Recent Investigations
made by the association disclosed the
fact that among other things large
quantities of stoves made by convict la
Dor in Oregon were being sold not only
in San Francisco, but throughout the
state of California, and it is principally
against this trade that the circular
letter is directed.
