PRISON MADE GOODS.
Manufacture of Brush and Wire Goods
Employs Almost Exclusively Con-
victs in the Various Peni-
tentiaries.

New York.-The Bromwell Brush and
Wire Goods company, one of the largest
convict working, corporations in the
country, controls the market for tampico
and bristles in the United States, and is
considered to be the richest concern in
it's line in the entire country. 1t has con-
tracts for convicts at the following insti-
tutions: The penitentiary at Baltimore,
Md; state prison at Trenton, n. j.; the
remormatory at Mansfield, o., and the
workhouses at Cincinnati, Columbus,
GAINESVILLE and Dayton, o. The average
price it pays for its convict labor is
about 35c per day, together with no ex-
pense for factory buildings. heat, light.
water or power. This company has man
ufactured with convict labor since the
early fifties, over half a century. Col.
Melish, the president, and granted to be
the controlling stockholder, is one of the
traction and financial magnates of Gin
cinnau and a leader in its most exclusive
social circles. About a year ago he de-
livered an address of welcome on behalf
of the city to the biennial convention OF

BY Defendants.

Washington.-At the hearing before
the senate committee appointed to con-
slider the administration of the law by
federal officials, third degree" Presi-
dent Gompers made it plain that he and
his colleagues would not accept the pro-
fered suggestion of apologizing to JUS
tice Wright of the district supreme court
AS matter of fact, after reviewing some
of the important points in this case, he
said: Several phases of this case will
furnish subject of profitable inquiry by
this committee. Whether or not i'm

against this judge is a question. He de-
serves it, l have no doubt If We had the
recall, he would have been recalled long

out that the sentences that have been
imposed on the three defendants, i'm
prisonment for twelve, nine and six
months. are without parallel in the his
tory of the country. As a last word Mr.
Gompers said: Il am not ready to apollo

not conscious of having done any wrong

A "RAseIrp UNION.

Washington-while the labor unions
in this country are largely confined to
trades and special callings, those of Aus
tralia cover nearly every Imaginable
character of work. There is now being
organized ''rabbiter's union" This or
ganization is being formed under the
auspices of what is known as the Trap
pers League" The men eligible to the
'rabbiter's" union, as the name signifies,
are those engaged in the hunting of rab
bits for the market. Already, through
the efforts of the young organization, the
minister of agriculture has made arrange
ments for the freezing and packing of
rabbits to meet the requirements of the
rabbit hunters for the coming season.
This action on the part OF the minister
is to guard against the rabbit combine"

A WARNING.

Portland. Ore.-Through the influence
of the local union busting associations,
advertisements are being distributed
throughout the country. stating that la
Dor here is scarce. As matter of fact,
there are many idle men in Portland and
it is inadvisable for any tradesman or
laborer looking for work to come to this
city with the expectation of getting it.
The advertisements are sent out for the
purpose of flooding the city with labor.
hence men in moving about the country
should be extremely careful about ac-
cepting the statements with reference to
employment. unless they come from an
authoritative source.

The THIRD DEGREE"
SCORED BY GOMPERS
APPEARS BEFORE SENATE COMMIT
TEE IN BEHALF OF COMMON
PEOPLE.

President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, appeared before
the senate committee, before which has
been referred the matter of investigating
"third degree" methods. Mr.. Gompers
opened his testimony before the commit
tee on the methods employed by the po-
lice of this country, which, he said, con-
stituted system that is not only un-
lawful, but brutal.
I'm the case of the Seylor brothers, ar
rested in connection with the death of a
young woman in Atlantic City about two
years ago, one of the brothers was
sweated and doped to such an extent that
he made statements which, if true, ought
to have resulted in his conviction, but
when the trial came" Mr.. Gompers added,
and the man was not under the in
fiuence of the third degree system, he
gave testimony which resulted in his &C
quittal. That case is in strong contrast
with the case of DR.. Crippen, arrested by
the British authorities. Just as soon as
Crippen was taken into custody, the Of
ficers told the prisoner that any state
ment he might make would be used
against him at the trial. He was warned
that he had rights that could not be in
vaded by the police"
Coming to the case of the McNamaras,
Mr.. Gompers declared that they were
taken away from their home state with
out a proper hearing, without an oppor-
tunity of consulting with counsel, despite
the fact that such an opportunity was
demanded by the suspect-just taken
bodily, placed in an automobile that was
cranked up and ready to start, one of
the speediest machines in the city of In
dianapolis-manacled taken at break
neck speed to Terre Haute. held until
train time and rushed to California, be-
ing placed on several different trains
during the trip.
A colloquy ensued between the mem
bers of the senate committee and Mr..
Gompers, dealing with the various phases
of the case. 1t was brought out also that
Burns had telegraphed to the governor
of California that he had arrested and
was holding ]. ]. Mcnamara, in order to
get the requisition, when. as a matter OF
fact, Mcnamara was not arrested until
a week after the telegram was sent. Mr..
Gompers also intimated that there had
, been unlawful acts committed by post
office inspectors in cooperation with
