CONCERNING CONVICT LABOR.

o Statistics Of convict labor and some
convict labor upon industry and mar
, kets are presented in the 500 pages
comprising the twentieth annual re
port Of the Commissioner of Labor.
II was found that the daily average
of prisoners in the 296 institutions
was S6.036, of whom 1864 were in
juvenile rcformatories. For the year
1904-5 the total value of articles pro.
duced by the convict laborers was
s34.276,20 POS. Discussing the bearing of
this output upon commercial and pro-
ductive conditions, the report says
Reviewing the general question of
convict labor as a competitive fac.
! tor, it may be said that manufacturers
consider such competition unfair and
ruinous, demoralizing to markets and

to drive the employer of FIRE labor
out Of the market or force on him a

The report shows that many other
trades than that of the shoe manu-
Facturer are invaded by the convict
labor with serious consequences.
Whisk brooms, wooden butter tubs,
and blacksnake whips from
convict shops have practically crowd
