the NEW IEvEE BOARD.

The Board Of Commissioners of
our Levee District, recently appoint
ed by Governor Hall, met at Tallu-
Lab last Wednesday for the purpose
OF organizing the Board and electing
officers. All the members were pres
ent, as follows: Messrs. Hamley and
Hill Of East Carroll, Johnson and
Kell Of Madison, Young and Wat
son of Tensas, and Lambdin and
Rhodes of Concordia.
The election of officers resulted
in the selection of Hon. E. G.
Rhodes, as President, and of Oscar
w. Campbell Of Concordia, as Sec
rotary of the Board. Mr.. J. T.
Mcclellan, who has served so many
years as President of the Board, was
appointed as General Inspector Of
the Board and will have for time
active direction, in cooperation with
the President, Mr.. Rhodes, of levee
work.
The Gazette is highly gratified
with the action Of the Board as
above outlined and believes it will
meet with the cordial approval of
all the people of the District. Mr..
Rhodes, the new President, is one
OF the largest and most successful
planters and men of affairs in the
District, whose high character and
intelligence will maintain the high
standard reached by his predeces-
sor, Mr.. Mcclellan, and these two
gentlemen, working together, will
undoubtedly give us that faithful
and intelligent service which the
people of the District have become
used to from our Levee Board and
Its officers.
Mr.. Campbell, the new Secretary,
is well and most favorably known
in Concordia, where he has ably
filled for many years the response
bic position Of Deputy Sheriff, hav-
ing special charge Of the tax collect
ing department of the Sheriff's Of
fee. Mr.. Campbell is a courteous,
capable gentleman andwe equipped
for the important duties of bis new
post.
OF the new Inspector, Mr..
Mcclellan, it is not necessary to
say anything in commentator.
His record for many years as Presi-
dent Of the Board is too well known
to require comment, and his repu-
tation as probably the most efficient
leyee man in the State is well es-
tablished. The people of the Dis
trict are indeed fortunate that they
will retain his valuable services.

Washington-The convict labor condi.
tions that prevail in the operation of sub
sidiary plants of the United States Steel
company, particularly in Alabama. were
recently probed by the house steel trust
investigating committee. Shelby NJ. Har-
rison of New York, a magazine writer.
testified that he had made an exhaustive
investigation of the conditions Mr.
Harrison told of the large number of
state and county convicts in the camps
of Alabama, and of minor offenses for
which some of these men had been con-
victed, and as a penalty made to work
in the mines He stated that men who
created no other offense than walking
on the right of way of railroads had
been arrested for misdemeanor. con-
victed and ordered to work in the mines.
Mr.. Harrison said that the state of Ala
bama derived an annual revenue of
about $500 900 from convict labor leases.
and that the wardens in the labor camps.
who frequently fog the convicts. are en-
ployes of the steel company Mr.. Harri-
son also stated that he once saw a pris.
oner fogged with a three-ply leather
strap. Mr.. Stanley, chairman of the in
vestigating committee inquired particu-
larly if the men convicted of misde-
meanors were walking on railroad rights
of way, playing golf on Sunday and sim
liar offenses, were subject to fiogging as
punishment in the camps, and Mr.. HarrL
son replied affirmatiyely Mr.. Harrison
said that the convict laborers are forced
to lie fat on their faces to be flogged. a
strap five feet long usually being the in
strument of torture. with fifteen lashes

IMMIGRANTS ILLlTERAcY TEST.

Washington-Undoubted there will
be a stubborn fight in the senate over
the illiteracy test provision to be placed
in the general immigration laws. The
Dillingham; bill is based on the recon-
mendations of the immigration commits
sion and aims to revise generally the i'm
migration laws. The bill has been taken
up for committee amendments on the
motion of Senator Lodge, chairman of
the senate committee on immigration
and many changes were adopted. When
the clause calling for the illiteracy test
was introduced a fight was precipitated
and the matter was laid over for future
consideration. Senator Overman has
submitted an amendment increasing the
head tax from 81 to SO. and proposing
that any surplus in the immigration fund
collected from incoming foreigners shall
he given to the states and territories for
the support of farm-life schools in which
boys and girls shall receive instructions
to prepare them for agricultural pursuits.
Other amendments are in preparation
and no doubt discussion will be pro-
longed.

swEATsHop GOODS ExAIsIreD.

Washington-As a part of its cam
paign to better the working conditions
of women and children in Washington,
as well as the women and children en-
ployed in factories, in stores, and in
their homes throughout the country, the
Consumers League of the District of
Columbia has just held an exhibit in the
parish hall of Epiphany church. The de-
sire of the Consumers League is to do
away with sweatshop and tenment labor,
not only to aid the workers by compell-
ing manufacturers to have their work
done in sanitary factories at living
wages, but also to safeguard the consum-
ers from the danger of disease. Babies
which are clothed in the finely made
caps and dresses, made in sweatshops,
are in danger of being affected with con-
sumption and other diseases. The Con-
sumer's League has adopted label to
be placed on goods manufactured under
sanitary conditions at fair wages, and
sixty-fve factories have adopted this
label, after satisfying the league that
the conditions under which the en-
ployes are employed were proper. The
establishment of minimum wage boards
and the enactment of laws curtailing the
hours of labor for women and children
are on the program. Especial interest in
this city is being taken in the welfare of
women and girls employed in retail
stores and soon a white list" of stores

which opposes the provisions of the

closely the ideas OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in reference to this

evidently in the sole interest of the 'agri-
