CHICAGO, April 26.-Organized labor
will resort to injunction proceedings to
stop the work on the Dewey reviewing

building of structures intended for other

Employment of Prisoners on Pub.

- tn .., "f Fr,irtinn ssyS5%ts,#s- gnIs

WASHINGTON, April 26. The indus
trial commission has sent to congress it's
report on prison labor. In summing up
it's conclusions, the commission says
that all prisoners should be engaged in
productive labor, and that the state
should have absolute control of their
care. Their employment with the in
tention Of producing revenues, the re-
port says, tends to the greatest competi-
tion with free labor and detracts from
the punitive reformatory and disciplin-
ary features of the prisons Employ
ment Of prisoners on public works has
the least tendency to competition with
free labor. In order to harmonize the
antagonistic interests of the different
states, the industrial operations of penal
and like institutions in each should
be under the supervision of GEN.
tral officer. Adoption of laws embrac-
ing the principles mentioned has been
retarded by various conditions in many
Of the states. In the adoption of uni
form legislation, the report says, is the
only remedy for existing abuses. The
commission submits general provisions
of law mainly from the New York stat
ute and recommends that such part
shall be embodied in the laws of the
different states as is found possible. The
Introduction of Interstate commerce in
all goods, etc., the product of convict
labor, supplemented by state legislation,
would be the nearest to complete rem
edy for evils Of convict labor competi-
tion, but in the absence Of such laws,
the most practicable step would be an
act making such goods upon their arri-
val in any state subject to it's laws.
Commissioners Smythe and Harris dis
sent from that portion of the report rec
ommending an interdiction of prison
made goods and Mr.. Smythe also dis
sents from a recommendation fixing
eight hours for days work for prison
ers.

Duluth Takes the Offensive in it's Tele-

DULUTH, April 26.-The city has
taken the offensive in it's fight against
the old telephone company with a suit
to compel it to remove it's poles and
wires from the streets, it's franchise
having expired and no new one having
been taken out. Some time ago the
company brought a suit in the United
States court to restrain the city from
interfering with it's business, as the
city has threatened to remove the wires
and poles unless the company got out.
In order to hurry matters through, the
city has begun suit involving the same
matters in the state court, and will
push it along as rapidly as may be.

that great developments are expected.

The firing has been desultory and the
casualties very slight. The British are

der.
Persistent rumors are in circulation
that Commandant Olivier, with 1900
men, is preparing to attack General
Harris rear.
There is no sign of the advance Of
General Rumble from Dewetsdorp.
LONDON, April 26.-The indecisive &C.
ton and slow progress of Generals Hart
and Brabant are relatively unimportant
when compared with the progress of
General French. It is now evident
that Lord Roberts wishes not only to
defeat the Beers, but to pen them up, as
at Paardeberg. To this end 40, 900 Brit
ish troops are concentrating in the
southeastern portion of the Orange
Free State and are operating according
to carefully devised plans, in which the
delay may be as much due to strategy
as to necessity. The success of this i'm
portant movement almost entirely de-
pends on General French. If he can
sweep down from the north with. the
rapidity Of execution which he dis
played at Kimberly, and Paardeberg, he
will effect the same swift, sudden trans.
formation that followed the cavalry
evolutions two months ago. According
to last accounts he was pushing on sue.
cessfully. Every day the Beers remain
at Wepener improves General French 5
chance of SUCCESS. --~ .'r
Has Taken Long Chances.
To put a girdle around the $4,000
Beers estimated to be in the southeast
ern part Of the Orange Free State, Lore
Roberts has evidently taken large
chances. The British critics differ re
garding the result, some declaring it i,
impossible for the Beers to escape from
the net, while others reserve their opin
ion until more definite news Of Genera
French's progress is received. There il
a general impression that the main ad
vance, upon Pretoria will be taken III
without any recommendation at Bloem
fontein, as with more than half tn
British army stretched in echelon acros
the Orange Free State, such a chang
in directions would indefinitely della,
