TIME state Of New York has an
nti-toycott labor Jaw. At#the

sTrNHE state Of New York has an
anti-toycott labor Jaw. Atssthe
time it was before the legisla-
ture 3of that state many sensational
editorials came out I'M many papers,
picturing convicts in stripes, raving
ma1liacs, grinning id1ots and victims
of pollution and vice in all forms, in
their attempt to show what the "en-
forced ;dleness" would bring upon the
conyicts who were in penal institu--
stions. II seems that the OMNIBUS
predictions relative to the ultimate ef-
feet of the sill have fallen fiat, as will
be seen from the following extract
from the Bulletin of the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics of the State Of New
York, for June: .
changes in prison methods that has
been made in recent years has been
accomplished i'll the abolition of the
contract. labor system by the Revised
Constitution of 1894. The conyicts
and prisoners now work only for the
public institutions and departments Of
the state. Instead of an increase OF
Eidleness in the state prisons, it is found
that the demands OF. the public insti-
buttons will supply work for much
larger prison populations; hence the
new system is not only vastly better
for the physical and moral health Of
the convicts themselves, but. is also
less burdensome to the taxpayers
than was the former contract labor
System. Even before the new system
had become fairly adjusted, its results
appeared so commendable that othe1
Estates accepted it as q pattern for new
Legislation. .;ss iii;

It was with the utmo titication
that organized labor welcomed the
bill. It was at no times complained
that, convicts should not labor-the
complaint made by organized labor is
that the prc61lcts of their labor should
not be sold in competition with those
of legitimate and free labor, and thus
bring the free man and the convict SO
nearly on 4 parity that the only char
acteristic difference is the prison door
WHICH separates them.
The bill provides that mo person in
any penal institution Of the state shall
work at any trade, industry or occu-
patton wherein or Whereby his work
is; contracted, given or sold to Al any y
person, firm, association or corpora
ton excepting the state or one Of its its
political divisions 2sS s5 B
