FIGHT AGAINST CONVICT LABOR.

New York.-Contractors for convict
labor throughout the country are bend
ing every energy to thwart the onward
march of sentiment against the contract
ing OF convicts to private manufacturers.
Every obstacle known to human ingenu-
ity is being brought into play. Some
years back the Connecticut Legislature
granted an appropriation to build
state reformatory Two years were
spent in the detection OF site and con-
struction. After completion. superin-
tendent was appointed. this being In the
spring OF 1911. The Reliance Manufac-
turing company made a desperate effort
to have the contract system established
at the new institution but failed. and has
resisted all attempts to transfer any OF
the inmates from the old prison to tho
new reformatory The business of the
company has expanded to such an extent
that II claims 1t needs all OF the inmates
OF the old prison. The opening OF tho
new reformatory was fixed for June I,
1911. then for Oct. /, 1911. and then
again for Jan. /. 1912. The opening has
now again been postponed until some
time next fall. As matter OF fact the
Reliance Manufacturing company has
placed a veto on the acts OF tho state
through it's representatives.

POLITICAL ACTION IN CALIFORNIA.

The action OF the California building
trades council. the strongest state organ
ization of its kind in the country in
adopting a resolution by unanimous vote
recommending that all local unions CO.
operate with the Socialist party on the
political field. has attracted a great deal
of attention in the labor world
The fact that eN-Mayor p. H. Mccarthy
of san Francisco who is president of the
building trades council led in the debate
fayoring n combination of forces is inter
esting as a probability that the labor
party in San Francisco will merge into
the Socialist party.
At the present time the trade unions OF
San Francisco are taking a referendum
vote on the question of cooperating with
the Socialist party along the same lines
as was done in Los Angeles last fall.
where, with all the corporations. ma
chine politicians and daily newspapers
(eNcept the Recordl against them. and
with the Mcnamara fiasco timed for the
psychological eleventh hour to create a
stampede. the workers nevertheless
rolled up over $4,000 votes
California for labor" is the shiboleth
that is being sounded throughout the
Golden state and Il San Francisco adopts
the Los Angeles plan. which seems al
most certain, il is likely that Sacramento
(where the Socialists are already the
second party. San Diego and other cities
will fall in line

MINING DEPARTMENT
HEADED BY M0YER
Department Has Been Chartered
by A. F. of l.---Advanced
Strides Made in the
Organization.

One of the greatest movements in the
world of Organized Labor in recent years
has been consummated. The Western
Federation of Miners and the United
Mine Workers of America have been
chartered as department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Charles H.
Meyer of Denver has been elected presi-
dent of the new mining department and
if the plans outlined by the department
90 through he will be the head of the
biggest department labor organization in
the country. In two years he believes
the membership will be at least 100000
workmen. 1t already Plumbers over 3oo,-
COO, comprising the two organizations.
Mr. Meyer viii continue as president
of the Western Federation of Miners and,
for the time at least, will serve as chief
executive of the new department without
pay Edwin Perry OF Indianapolis has
been made secretary of the department
He is an officer of the United Mine Work
ers. and the department headquarters
will be retained at Indianapolis
The executive board OF the department
is composed of John p White. president
of the United Mine Workers; Frank
Hayes, vice-president. and Edwin Perry,
secretary-treasurer of the same organiza-
tion, and Charles H. Meyer, Charles E.
Mahoney and Ernest Mills. representing
NtSltIH tutldN
The department charter has already
been received from the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. The annual convention
will be held in Rochester the same week
as the convention OF the national body.
The next meeting of the executive board
will be subject to the call of the chair
man. The organizations do not lose their
individuality by the new combination
President Meyer and Secretary Perry
have already started q campaign of cor
respondence to bring into the depart
ment the steel workers. the longshore-
men. the steam shoyelers and the rail-
road men who handle ores in the states
of the Northwest and those who work on
the coal-bearing roads OF Pennsylvania
and other Eastern states. A conference
is to be held in Chicago in the near fu-
ture to further outline this campaign of
amalgamation
The combination OF coal and metallif-
erous miners will MAKE a strong combi-
nation. According to President Meyer, it
is the intention TO insert in the annual
contracts clause which will provide that
the coal miner will refuse TO dig coal for
the smelter which refuses to recognize
the metalliferous miners union and to
treat them with its idea Of fairness as 10
wages, hours and other conditions OF enl-
ployment.
On the other hand. the metal miners
Will refuse TO handle the products where
the owners of the metal mines insist on
using coal mined by unfair workmen. In
the Northwest the longshoremen haul the
ores dug by the metal miners. the train
men handle the cars. the steel workers
are employed in a correalative industry
and the steam shovelers likewise The
plan is one Of the most comprehensive
ever outlined by organized labor in the
country.
Il is considered by President Meyer
another great step in advance in the
cause of industrial uuionism for which he
has worked for many years.

uNIonIsT PROVES TO BE SPY.

Andrew n. Olson, who was killed at
Porcupine recently in an explosion, by
papers found on his person after the acci-
dent, has proved to be a spy in the en-
ploy of the Thiel Detective Agency. His
body was shipped to Denver and later
inferred at Idaho Springs. Olson was a
trusted member of the United Mine
Workers and of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners. An investigation revealed
the whole story OF Olson's career and
that he was for many years detective
in the employ of the Victor Fuel COM
pany, Northern Coal and Coke company
and the Thiel agency.
Olson was known in every coal mining
camp in Colorado, and was regarded as
one of the most successful detectives in
the state working among miners unions.
He had been in Porcupsne but a short
time, working among the men who be-
long to the Western Federation OF Min
ers II was not known until the remains
were shipped here under the name of
Ohlander that the victim of the accident
was the man who for years gave away
secrets of the union to the operators of
the state.
Olson recently had worked in the
southern Colorado fields. He was loaned
to a Chicago agency by the Thiels and
went to Ontario to take the place of a
Michigan detective who left the service.
{hs miners did not know that the man
who PRETENDED to them that he was a
loyal union man was working for the de
tectives.
In 1907 he was sent to Hastings by
the Victor Fuel company and secured a
complete list of the union men at that
place In 1908 Olson came to Denver
and mingled with the United Mine Work
ers of America during a scale convention
and during meetings with the operators.
He was the confidential detective for
James II. Blood, according to statements
made at the time by officers of the union.
olsons most important piece of work
in behalf of the operators during these
conventions was the securing of large
number of important kilograms from
President Thomas l.. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers to officers of the district
organization in Colorado.
After he completed his work among
the committeeman and the scale conven-
tion. Olson went TO Victor and was en-
ployed in the Golden Cycle mine. He
was after the highgraders among the
miners and made extensive reports on
the operations OF the workmen along
high-grading lines.

WANTS COURTS RESPECTED.

Washington.-At the recent meeting OF
the New York State Bar association. OF
which United States Senator Root is
president. he said: IF judicial license
is to be placed on parity with political
opinions in the public mind, judicial de
cision will interpret the law always to
suit the majority of the moment. and
the recall will be the natural and logical
expression of the relation to be assumed
b. the people and the courts. The fol-
lowers of the Taft legal mind appear to
have fear that the law will be inter
preted in a different manner than at
present. The people of this country,
however, judging by their present atti-
tude. are not in favor OF defying the
courts, but treating them as public In
stitutions that should be just as amen
able to the people as every other govern
mental institution.
