WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-John

before the Stanley Steel Investigation

Steel corporations treatment of it's

Mr.. Fitch made study of the
labor and social conditions of the

published his observations in book
form.

an enormous power, that it is a

Fitch.
conditions of work in the steel
mills are demoralizing.

TO MANUFACTURERS
Convict Labor Has Meant Much in

GREAT HOWL GOES UP WHEN
SYSTEM Is DISCONTINUED
Steady Progress Is Being Made
by Different States in
Prison Reform.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Prison
contractors throughout the country
are bending every energy to thwart
the onward march of sentiment
against the contracting of convicts
private manufacturers.
Every obstacle known to human
ingenuity is being brought into play.
Some years back the Connecticut
legislature granted an appropriation
to build state reformatory. Two
years were spent in the selection of
a site and construction.
After completion, a superintendent
was appointed, this being in the
spring of 1911. The Reliance Manu-
featuring company made desperate
effort to have the contract system
established at the new institution
but failed, and has resisted all at
tempts to transfer any of the in
mates from the old prison to the
new reformatory.
The business Of the company has
expanded to such an extent that it
claims it needs all of the inmates of
the old prison. The opening of the
new reformatory was fixed for June
1, 1911, then for October 1, 1911, and
then again for January 1, 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 the state through
it's representatives,

F. J., BURKE LANDS
THE APP0|NTMEN
Prominent Member of Butchers
Union Will Have Charge of
Free Employment Bureau

F. J. Burke has been appointed by
State Labor Commissioner w. F..
Houk, as manager of the local
branch of the state free employment
bureau.
1t is thought that Mr.. Burke will
take charge of the office during the
next few weeks The place was left
vacant by the resignation of Martin
Cole, who was recently elected presi-
dent of the Licensed Tugmens' Pro-
tective association. ~
Mr.. Burke is a prominent member
of the Butchers union and has been
active in local circles for some years
past. g
He is we'll acquainted with the
labor situation in Duluth and will
without doubt fill the place to the
entire satisfaction of all concerned.
OF late Mr.. Burke has been mana
ger of one Of the N. H. Witt down
town markets. He has many friends
throughout the city who will be
pleased to- learn of the appointment
Mr.. Cole is at present in Cleveland,
Ohio, where he is arranging hours
and wage scales for next season with
the Fish Packers association. It is
thought that he will turn over the
office to Mr.. Burke upon his return,
which will be within few days.
In stepping out of the office, Mr..
Cole leaves with fine record. Under
his management the office has been
respected and the business greatly
increased. Instead of paying 81 for
a Job. nearly all OF the woodsmen
and general laborers now go to the
state office for their jobs.
The time will come when the state
free employment office will put the

WOULD TREAT COURTS AS
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-At the
recent meeting of the New York
State Bar association, of which
United States Senator Root is presi-
dent, he said:
If judicial license is to be placed
on party with political opinions in
the public mind, judicial decision
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 as
sumed by the people and the courts"
The followers of the Taft legal
mind appear to have a fear that the
law will be interpreted in different
manner than at present. The people
of this country, however, judging by
their present attitude, are not in
favor Of defying the courts, but
treating them as public institutions
that should be just as amenable 70
the people as every other govern
ment institution.

VAN LEAR ANSWERS
RILEY IN ADDRESS
Socialist Speaker Says Evange-
lists Soul Should Be In a
Certain Warmer Cline.

When W. B. Riley, evangelist, in
a recent sermon reviled the good
name of the late Col. Robert G.
1ngersoll by infering that the soul
of the great agnostic whose every
heart throb was for humanity was
roasting in Hades, it aroused the ire
of Thomas Van Lear, Minneapolis
we'll known Socialist.
And Mr.. Van Lear gave vent to his
feelings before an audience of 500
people at a Socialist rally held Tues
day evening at Great Western hall,
Twenty first avenue west and Super
ior street.
Mr.. Van Lear said that a minister
who knew better than to make such
an insinuation and infer that Bob
Ingersolls soul was roasting in
Hades and who had no better message
to deliver to the people than that,
had better be there himself.
Mr.. Van Lear stated that he was
just as good a guesser as the Rev.
Mr., Riley and that his guess was that
Bob 1ngersoll's soul was not in hell.
Mr.. Riley is the Minneapolis
evangelist, who is in charge Of the
Men and Religion Forward propag-
anda in Duluth.
In touching upon the political sit
uation, Mr.. Van Lear declared that
neither the Republicans nor the
Democrats stood for any great princi-
pies this year. The Socialists. he
said, should be able to make a great
showing at the national election, If
they are able to properly bring their
platform before the people.
He accused President Taft of grand
stand play by his continual trust
busting schemes and declared that he
was daily losing ground. AS for
Roosevelt, he said that the former
president was growing in favor on
account of his aggressive policies
Other speakers were D. w. Robert
