have decided 10 give up other convict Ia
Dor and 10 abandon several smaller shops
one of which Is IN Maine. for the purpose
or concentrating all their work in one
large shop in Boston.
The abandonment OF convict labor by
this firm II declared 90 be- due TO the
sentiment which prevails. particularly in
the West adverse to prison made goods.
This sentiment has been created in part
by the active agitation on the part of the
union labor organizations and In part by
the action Of legislators and the labor
advocates in congress.
The firm could not and ala not intend 90
run adversely TO such a sentiment: hence
the decision not to renew the contract
here.
The news has been received with great
satisfaction by the local labor organi-
cations.
