STATE THRESHEO OVER
IN HELENA.

Helena. July PC Especially JAS a re-
suit of the conference today between
committees representing the Silver
Bow and Helena Trades and Labor
assemblies and the state board of rris-
on commissioners, there was n defl-
nite declaration of the policy Of each
In regard To the employment OF con-
Wet labor. On the part of the labor
unions the position was In opposition
to the employment OF convict labor
outside of the prison. on the part Of
the board II was that no convict labor
would be employed In competition with
free labor but that the policy OF the
board was to use oonvicts In the build
ing of roads. where counties were un-
able to bear the expense. but not to
use conylcts on city streets. As to the
construction of n road by convicts
from Helena to the state fair grounds.
the settlement was made that the
board did not propose to use them ex-
cept on land owned by the state and
that they had not been used inside the
fair grounds there being an appropria-
tion by the legislature for that work
The board denied the charge that had
been made that convicts have been
used In Deer Lodge for private ends
and this was confronted By one of the
committeeman who had made an in
vestigation of the subject. The board
promised 10 present its vicws in full
to the organizations rcpr .cnted by
tho joint committee and also to the
Montana Federation OF Labor when II
meets In Great Falls.

You will remember that in 1901 the

poration. organized that year The
steel corporation paid the Carnegie
Steel company $500. 100000 for its
