A NEAR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT BANK

1t develops that SenatorAldrich' s
proposed Reserve Association of
America" and the much denounced
central government bank are sister
schemes, both having as their main
if not sole object the placing Of the
money supply of the country in the
hands of Wall street "Thc good
results which they (thc government
banks of Europe) obtain can, | be-
lieve, be reached without the crea-
ton "f such central bank" sug-
gests Senator Aldrich. This leaves
the impression that he does not
have central bank in mind. But
nobody can read his plan in detail
without realizing that it is a CEN
trail bank of issue that he propo scs.
1t is to be the depository and fiscal
agent Of the government. 1t is to
have the sole issue power. 1t may
receive deposits from those nation
al banks which are stockholders in
it. 1t shall establish branch banks,
which, just as un Ter the central
government bank scheme will rush
their local deposits to the central
bank, thus taking the money out Of
the community in which it would
otherwise be loaned out for invest
mcnts in home enterprises. 1t
may buy and sell government and
state securities and foreign govern
ment securities, and gold coin or
bullion. 1t may rediscount paper
for banks depositing with it. II
may buy acceptable or substantial
hOuses-and no bank wants any
other kind. In short, the Aldrich
reserve association is bank, with
immense privileges and powers, but
without name of bank. Wall street
will control it. 1t is obvious that
the words Central Bank" were
omitted because of prejudice
against such an institution among
the country banks. Uncle Sam once
tried a central bank. 1t was man.
ned and manipulated by politicians
and brought panic on the entire
country. Aldrich's fim-y misrcp.
resentation will accomplish but lit
tie however. An upward revision
is not downward revision simply
because someone says it is. A cen.
trial bank is none the less central
bank if called the Reserve Asso-
citation of America. "As a result of
this distrust aroused by Aldrich' S
methods Of dealing with the people
there will probably be no monetary
legislation of any kind until nc is
long out Of public life. -GoIdfild

BOSTON, Mass, May 17.-Boss
Cox of Cincinnati and his assocl-
Iates have q clutch on the national
conference of charities and cor
Irection.
Prison labor contractors are a
power in the conference. Men
high up in the councils have been
really in the employ of the prison
labor contractors and have used
their efforts to prevent the ma
tional body from condemning
prison contract labor.
The conference has never taken
a stand in the matter.
Though 1t was kept a secret,
the last meeting of the confer
ence broke up with a scandal i'm
pending.
The connection of Boss Cox
with the prison labor contractors
was established by his being
president Cup to short time
ago) of the Ford-Johnson Furni-
ture Co., one of the largest of
prison labor contracting concerns.
He is one Of the leaders of a sys-
tenn which the prison labor con-
tractors have formed to fight leg
islation against them.
This in brief is the story of the
contract labor scandal in the con-
ference, now told for the first
time:
Several years ago William H.
Whitaker, then superintendent
|of an Indiana reformatory, Joined
the national conference of chart
ties and corrections and was
made a member of the commit
tee on organization. This COM
mittee chooses officers and COM
mittees of the conference.
Several years later Whitaker
resigned his reformatory position
under fire, after Gov. Marshall
had assured him that he would be
granted fair hearing on charges
about to be made involving his
relations with prison contractors
in his institution.
While Whitaker was on this
Organization committee he nomi-
mated Edward Boyle of Chicago,
as treasurer. Boyle was head
over heels in the prison contract
business, though this was not
generally known. He was a pro-
tege of John G.. Mott, president
of several convict-working cor
porations.
In 1908 the prison contract

Barnard, superintendent in Whit
takers institution in Indiana, as
state position in Indiana after
charges had been made in the
public press that he was receiv-
ing gifts from the Indiana Manu-
featuring Co., a prison contractor
and one of Boyle's clients.
Why has the brutal, anti
quated contract system of convict
labor never been condemned by
the national conference? One
reason il that for the past few
years Edward Boyle has been
treasurer. Boyle is the attorney
for the following prison contrac-
tors: Paramount Knitting Co., In
diana Manufacturing Co., Indiana
Chain Works, j. II. Winterbot-
tom IL Sons, Reliance Manufac-
turing 90.
When the national meeting of
the conference is held in Boston
several weeks hence an attempt
Will be made to weed out all rep
resentatives of the prison con-
tract system.
1t is even probable that the ma
tional conference will pass a reso-
luton condemning as brutal and
fanttQuated. the system of forcing
prisoners to work for contractors.
