What was most remarkable about
this select political circle" says this
wicked newspaper, was that the mems
and not the women's costumes were
chronicled. For instance. Carolus Du-
ran wore his famous waistcoat of vel

cable redingote." And so on and so on.
Be this as it may, the gathering was
remarkable In that Count Boni ushered

Decisions Show Parker
Stands With Union Labor

In speech delivered by Hon. John
J. Fitzgerald in the house of represen-
tatives March Is, 1904 a review is
given of some of the decisions of the
New York court OF appeals, of which
Hon. Alton p. Parker was formerly
chief Justice. that shows the democratic
presidential nominees unfailing fair
ness to union labor wherever its in
terests have been brought before him
in his official capacity. One case cited
bears on the question of convict made
goods being placed on the market in
competition with free labor. In ref
erence to this case. Mr.. Fitzgerald
says:
In many states efforts have been
made to prevent convict-made being
placed on the market in competition
with the products of free labor. The
necessity of keeping cOnvicts employ
ed, recognized as imperative by all
criminologists. has added to the diff
ficultics of a problem not easy of So
luton. II COnviCts are employed in
Industries the products of which can
not be utilized by the state, some
means must be adopted for dispOsing
of them. There are many who realize
how detrimental to free labor ii is to
have some cOnviCt-made goods placed
on the market with out restrictions.
I'm 1896 the sOCalled 'cOnvict-made
goods label act was passed. 1t re-
lquired all goods made by convict la
Dor in any penal institution to be la
beled 'convict-made' before sold or eX.
l,,ArnJ 60 l., ~ ha
| law was undoubtedly aimed at convict
made goods other states, since the pro
ducts of convict labor of New York
could not under the constitutional
provision just quoted be placed upon
the market. The essential features
| of this act are now sections 80 TO "a
of the labor law, except that in the act
of 1896 a provision was added to the
penal code which made il a miSde
meanor TO have in possession for the
purpose of sale. or offering for sale
any COnvict-made goods without the
brand or label required by law. or to
remove or deface any such brand OF
label.
in People VS.. Hawkins this law was
held by the court of appeals to be un
| constitutional. because it was an at
tempt to regulate interstate commerce
and thus violate the commerce clause
of the federal constitution. Judges
Bartlett and Parker wrote dissentine
opinions. insisting that the act was &
proper exercise of Legislative power.
Judge Parker in his opinion said
If the prevailing opinion correctly

reached by it is well founded. for it ha:

Nj. r. Sweeney Discovers That the
Plant is Public Obstruction
and Should be Removed.
ENCROACHEsO NTWOST STREETS
Notice is Served on Officers of the
Firm and on Mayor and Members
of the City Council.

Now comes forward one who has
made the discovery that the plant OF
the Rock Island Pillow company, one of
the chief industries of the city, is a
public obstruction, and should be re
moved
The Milwaukee Railway company
two years ago published a pamphlet
pointing out the cities along its line
best adapted TO manufacturing pur-
poses. Rock Island was shown to be
one OF the most advantageous lOcali-
ties in the Mississippi valley.
Then it was found that the roads
handsome depot on the river front was
encrOaching on the street. Legally the
city has not the right to vote the priv
ilege to anyone to use a public thor
ouGhfarc. There was a suit brought
10 mandamus the city to compel the
removal of the depot. The railroad
company lost in the circuit court. The
case is to be carried up.
Quits BOOSTING city.
The Milwaukee, or any other road,
is not going to help along a city that
slaps it in the face. SO the Milwaukee
has quit boosting Rock Island as a
factory city. The Milwaukee repre-
scntatives say they could not go to
men at the head of big concerns and
advise them to come to Rock Island,
because there are people here who
apparently do not like corporations.
and never pass up an opening to- cmbar-
TasS them Corporations do not locate
in such cities. They generally single
out a city where the people are lib
eral
Now that the Milwaukee road has
been made 10 feel that il no longer has

a lawyer in the Mitchell d Lynde
block, thinks the Rock Island Pillow
company is in the way. But he is the
only one in the city. 50 far as known.
who feels that the plant ought to be
disturbed. He bases his action on the
fact that Sixth street. from Second ave
nue. TO the river. and Fifth street, from
Second and First avenues. are occu-
pied by the pillow company buildings.
The city council did not vacate the
street. merely granting the pillow com
pany the right to occupy them. as they
were not used generally, and there did
not appear any objection to the con
Cession.
