Knock Out Prison Labor Contractors.

Knock Out Prison Labor Contractors.
Prison contract labor is a burden
to all classes. Taxpayers, manufac-
turers and fair labor must all suffer
from this unjust system. In every
one OF the states in which this sys-
tenn is in vogue there are many man
ufacturers who employ free labor and
who have fitted up large factories,
erecting their own buildings in most
cases, installing the latest improved
machinery, paying enormous bills for
light, heat and power, and then pay,
ing taxes on their plant which are
used to furnish their competitors with
cheap labor and an equally up-to-date
plant free of cost.

This Injunction Stops Everything

But Breath.
To prevent the striking miners of
Tunnelton, w. Va, who have been
out since March %, last year, from
carrying the strike any further, gov
ernment by injunction is supposed to
restrain the strikers from doing near
ly everything except breathing. The
strikers may not even say that there
is a strike on. All was quiet and
orderly until the "scabs' fred upon
the strikers and the union had the
"scabs" arrested and placed under
peace bonds of $500 each.
Upon the summonses that have
been issued to alleged violators oi
the restraining order appears the
following: Witness the Honorable
Melville w. Fuller, chief justice oi
the United States, this first day oi
February, A. D. 1909, and in the 1886
year of the independence of the Uni
ted States of America"
Who is independent? Independent
of whom and independent of what
the miners are asking each othel
since they have read the injunction

When union elects a member to
an official position, it does so not to
make him a target for censure and
abuse, but that he may be a center
around which the members all shall
gather to make effective the work Of
the organization. This is a lesson
that has not taken hard enough hold
on the minds of union members.

Nothing said About Sweat.


Under a four story heading the
Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch prints the
rules imposed upon the employees of
a factory in Cleveland, one of those
so-called welfare" concerns. The
Dispatch captioned its half column
article with the words: Regulations
of This Factory Like Those of the
Pen," and says:
'"The state board of arbitration has
received a copy Of a set of rules
which are enforced in a Cleveland
clothing manufacturing concern,
which are almost as drastic as those
in use in the Ohio penitentiary. The
things that the employees must not dc
under pain of dismissal or fine are
set forth categorically, and punish
ment is provided for almost every
act that could possibly be construed
as an infringement of the sacred
rights of the firm. There is one form
of violation, however, that was over
looked and that was stopping to wipe
the sweat from the brow" The Dis
patch closes:
'In a spirit Of generosity, truly
characteristic of itself, the firm made
each employe a Christmas present oi
book of rules last Christmas"

Some severe criticism is being made
of so-called labor leaders holding
political jobs. Usually the job hold
er has secured his position because
of representations that he carries the
labor vote in his pocket. No man
can be a labor leader in our opinion
and political job holder at one and
the same time.
