Pursuant to orders from Common
wealth's Attorney Crandall Mackey, of
Alexandria county, Sheriff Palmer on
Thursday evening raided the alleged
policy shop conducted in Rosslyn, it is
said, by John Turvey and Carl Kenzig
The prisoners were taken to the Fort
Myer courthouse. where they were tried
at once by Justices East and Thompson.
The men were fined s25 and costs and
ordered to serve one hour in jail. The
accused were represented by Mr.. r. l..
Moncure. The minimum penalty was
asked by the defendants on the strength
OF a promise to keep their word to close
up shop. Commonwealth Attorney
Mackey says he intends in the near fu-
ture 10 procure warrants for the arrest
of the proprietOrs of the st. Asaph pool
room and have the case tried before one

photographers Expect
To Have Big Strike

New York, March 3.-Trouble between
the ten thousand photographers of the
country and their employers, which has
been brewing for neraly two years, is
expected to come to a head on March
Is, when general strike or lockout will
occur. The trouble arises over the de-
mands of the American Iithogra phing
Association, composed of 1924 firms, that
their employees sign, on or before March
10, a general plan of arbitration by
which all disputes between the en-
ployers and the unions are to be settled
II the unions refuse to sign the arbi-
tration agreement as organizations. the
employers will no longer recognize the
unions. Then, if the men as individuals
decline to enter the arbitration agree
ment, thehy will be discharged and a.
strike or lockout is expected. Ninety
live per cent. of all the lithograhpers
are said to be organized: If the strike
or lockout comes it will practically tie
up all branches Of .lithographing work,
from magazine. illustration to the huge
curcus posters. In anticipation of the
coming trouble, several large contracts
have already been sent to Europe

STATE BOARD OF CONTROL
MAKES NEW CONTRACT
FOR PRISON..
Convict Labor Hereafter to Be Dis
tributed Among the Many Indus
tries Instead Of Confined: to One
New Contract Is Considered Par
~ticularly F Favorable for the State
Action Favorabte to Union Labor.

st. Paul. Mar. 3.-Minnesota convict
labor will not be concentrated entirely
IN the shoe industry, hereafter. Under
the terms of new contract, just COM
pleted between the state board of con-
troll and RoscoesH. Bronson of Still
water, the number of conVicts to be
employed in the shoe industry will soon
be limited to 225.
The contract just closed by the board
is unusually beneficial to the state. The
price to be obtained for prison labor is
to be based upon the piece plan, and no
convict will earn less than Sc cents per
day. This is a greater price than is OBJ
tanned by any other state for the con-
vict labor which it farms out to manu-
facturers.
The present contract existing between
the state and the Jordan Shoe company
of Saltwater will end Sept. 80. Under
this contract, about 2s0 men are. en-
ployed and during the eight years dur
alton of the contract, the average price
obtained by the state for the labor of
Its convicts has been about 81 cents:
Bids We're advertised for by the board
OF control, for proposals for employing
its convict labor, but the proposal of
Mr.. Bronson was the only one received.
1t was not regarded as satisfactory,
and was rejected. Negotia lions were
then entered into with Mr. Bronson,
which resulted in the present ten-year
contract.
The decrease in the number of men
employed in: the shoe industry will take
away part of the competition in that
industry which organized labor has
been decrying. The board of control
expects to make start soon toward
getting foothold in other lines of man.
ufacture, aud gradually to divide the
convict labor into many branches. so
that the competition with outside labor
will not be confined to one industry.

PICK UP WASTE PAPER,

From the Chicago Tribune -
The suggestion of Miss Gertrude Howe
of Hull House that children;:be instruct
ed in the active duty Of picking up
waste paper and in the: passive one Of
retFalnlng from throwing paper into the
streets is. wise, and if acted upon will
make an appreciable. difference in the
citys appearance. The picking up: Of
pins has always been regarded as pro-
ductive of good luck, and if it were UNI
derstood that picking up, papers is quite
as profitable and that it brings some
thing better than good luck, the con-
sclousness of having performed a coed
act, no doubt many children would be
glad to shoulder this small civic respon-
siplllty. AS matters now stand neither
children nor grown people have a
strong paper conscience, and the spec
tacle of a schoolgirl tearing up her
school notes and casting them to the
winds is hardly less common than that
Of the male newspaper reader dropping
his discarded journal into some vacant
Lot. But where shaHI put the paper?'
asks the young aspirant to civic honors,
and it must be confessed that here is a
difficulty that has not been. solved.
With the best intentions towards the
improvement of streets and vacant pro-
perty Wayfarers cannot be expected to
n; axe walking waste baskets of them
selves, and to go about carrying UNI
slightly bits of newspapers under their
arms. Residence: districts offer no pub
lie receptacle for debris, and the do
mestic garbage can is not always a.
valuable. If the :receptacles were close
at hand no doubt children would be
quick to use them and to do their part
towards Kidding the city of one Of it's
greatest blots, its waste paper.
