Der Of bills on this subjees have been in
troduced in the House this session.
II was expected that some representa-
tion 0f the many labor organizations would
appear and make an argument in support
Of the bills. but no one put in an appear
ance. a letter from Martin Fox OF Gin
cinnau. President OF the Iron Molders'
Union of North America. was read by
Chairman Gardner.
II was a very strong document in ad-
vOcacy Of legislation 10 prohibit interstate
commerce in convict-madc goods. The
writer called attention that many States
had laws prohibiting the sale OF prison
made merchandise but the laws we're prac-
tically useless as convict-made goods from
one State could be sold in the State under
the Interstate Commerce law ard thus null
lfy the State law.
