CONVENT LABOR.


If conditions as alleged and set
forth by the Socialist assessors as
existing at the Good Shepherd Con-
vent on West Broad street are true,
it is high time that the State shop
inspectors get busy.
i he laws of the State of Ohio
plainly state that girls under eigh-
teen and over sixteen years shall not
be employed longer than eight
hours, while girls over eighteen
shall not work more than nine
hours.
It is to the existing shame Of the
State of Ohio that these demoraliz-
ing conditions exist within converts.
Why such institutions as these
should be exempt from State inspec-
ton and supervision we do not un-
derstand; unless behind the deal
stands an immense organization held
in fear by both political parties,
trading votes for the privilege of ex-
plotting the tender girlhood of the
State in the name of charity and re-
ligion.
Every man and woman within the
State of Ohio that does not at once
get busy with open protest to the
governor and State shop inspector,
demanding the immediate repeal of
that section of the Juvenile code Civ
ing judges privilege to sentence girls
to these convent prisons, will be
derelict in duty.
The greatest danger lies in the
fact that other manufacturers, see
ing the easy snap enjoyed by others
to get labor (eyen if girls) at a bare
cost to themselves of a meager ex-
istence on the part of their victims,
will insist on the same privilege be-
ing. extended to themselves.
This will mean to meet the de-
mands of these institutions for
cheap labor (cost of bare exis-
tence) that the juvenile, laws will be
so strengthened and revised, that
any slight misdemeanor on the part
of a girl will mean immediate SEN
tence. to these convent prisons for a
long term, wherein sne can be ex-
plotted to the hearts content of the.
capitalists holding such privilege
Bear in mind it is only a step
from shirts, overalls and jackets to
shoes, underwear, hats, etc. The
privilege extended to, one or more
manufacturers to exploit these girls
will in time be demanded by all
manufacturers. Free labor in this
instance will find itself in the same
position that the workers of France
and Portugal found themselves.
Driven to the last extremity by con-
vent and monastic competition they
arose in open revolt against the gov
eminent that countenanced such a
condition.
Regardless of mans religious
opinion, be he Catholic, Protestant
or Jew, he must work to live. He
also in time will discover that his
religion does not supply him with
bread and butter. When the shoe
worker, shirt worker, overall work
err, underwear worker, hat worker,
etc., some morning discover that
their factory is closed and the work
is being done behind convent walls,
by the trained girls in these differ
ent trades, that through starvation
wages have become delinquent to
live, and sentenced by benevolent
juvenile judge to these institutions
to work for nothing for the sap'n

appeal to the real estate men and
others interested in the upbuilding of
Mile Laos county for funds to assist
in maintaining the bureau at 80 South
Third Street, Minneapolis, where the
products of the counties affiliated with
the Northern Minnesota Development
association are on display in charge
of the energetic W. R. Mackenzie, and
where every effort is being put forth
to induce newcomers to settle on
northern Minnesota lands. Mile

A Brutal Crime in Minneapolis.

In a few terse sentences the Mime
apolis Tribune graphically. depicts a
beastly brutal crime perpetrated in
that city last Saturday night;
"With people around to hear her
despairing cries for help, but no one
ready and willing to render assis-
lance, Alice Matthews, 81 years old,
daughter of Harry Matthews, 3547
Twentieth avenue south, gave up her
life late Saturday night in a desperate
attempt to save her honor. Her dis
figured and mutilated body was found
in the street, less than half a block
from her home, by neighbor at 6
O'Clock Sunday morning.
"Her lips we're swollen from a blow
III the mouth, her neck and throat
we're scratched and torn, her clothing
was in tatters-everythin bore mute
testimony of the terrible struggle she
had made against her brutal as
sailant, to whom she did not succumb
until life was nearly or quite extinct. -
If the perpetrator of the horrible
crime is ever brought to justice, some
thing highly improbable, the extreme
penalty that can be inflicted upon him
is Imprisonment for life! Hanging
would be too easy death for such a
brute to die. ...-rs~ .-~&

slain homesteader.
The tragedy was not discovered
until the following Tuesday. Evil
dence indicated that Winters had been
shot while standing in the doorway of
his home, as he was about to enter,

worked on the theory that the MUIR

the homesteader, returning from a

Norman Perkins Dead.

Norman Perkins, formerly superin-

mail service with headquarters at St.
Paul, died in Washington last week.
The people along this branch of the
Great Northern have reason to re-
member Mr.. Perkins kindly, for it
was owing to his. efforts that a
mail car service was inaugurated on
this line when the passenger train ran
between Sandstone and st. Paul.
For time, after the completion of the
Cambridge cutoff, we had only a
pouch service on this line-there was
no mail car-our congressman and
senator's were appealed to in vain, but
the publisher of the Union took the
matter up with Mr.. Perkins and q
