IS DAM AGE CLAIMS
FROM DALTON WRECK

. CALHOUN. Ga. June 2S.-The West
ern and Atlantic Railroad company has
settled 35 claims growing out Of the re-
cent wreck of the Calhoun picnic train
near Dalton All of these claims are for
small amounts, ranging from s25 to $500.
The larger claims can mot be settled,
owing to the doubtful and convalescent
state OF the injured.
The local bar resents the action of sew
eral lawyers from other places who have
come here and endeavored to persuade
people to file suits against the railroad
company for damages. The Calhoun News
has published an article denouncing the
outsiders and charging that their efforts
are "in violation of section SO of the
criminal code, and against the ethics of
the profession"

Disgrace to Civilization.
How convicts ia some southern
states are literally sold to the high
est bidder" for their services under
convict labor laws was related to the
Stanley steel congressional committee
by Shelby NJ. Harrison of New York,
who made an Investigation of working
conditions in the steel mills.
The Tennessee Coal and Iron com
pany. one of the steel trusts Subsid-
laries. Harrison asserted. WAS one of
the firms that employed convict labor
extensively The witness pointed out
that many convicts were sold" TO the
companies for periods ranging from
twenty to thirty days up to several
years.
Harrison declared that Charles NJ.
Cabot of Boston, a large stakeholder
in the United States Steel corpora
ton. wished to circulate certain maya
zine articles on conditions in the steel
mills among the stockholders of the
corporation. but was forced to threat
en- suit before he could obtain Il stock
holders list for this purpose.
He also said that in May and June
last he entered the camp of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company in the
Birmingham district. At that time it
employed 300 state convicts and 24o
county convicts, approximately 40 per
cent of the convict labor of that
state. He declared the convict labor
system is primarily responsible for
the promulgation of laws making of
fensive comparatively trivial acts in
order that the number of convicts may
be swelled,
As one of the evils of the system
he cited the deaths of I'D negro con
victs in an explosion last April in the
banner mines of the Birmingham dis
trict operated by the Cranch ConsOli-
dated Coal company. OF these con
victs 40 per cent, he said, were con
victed of offenses which carried no
more than thirty days Imprisonment,
yet they practically suffered the death
penalty for an inconsequential in
fringement of law.
THE convicts are divided into task
groups, according to the physical con
dition." said Harrison. There are
four such classes. At the time made
my investigation the companies paid
$40 for n man per month for state con
victs of the first class. The wage scale
decreased III proportion TO the tasks
until for the fourth class $1,000 was
paid each month for every man. \
rising scale of free labor wage has
caused a proportion of rise in the con
Wet labor scale, so that now 5000 is
paid for a first class man and $11.57
is paid for fourth class man. For
county convicts the average is $3.50
per month. In Alabama the average
income to the state from convict labor
has been estimated at 100000"
Punitive measures applied TO unwill-
ing convicts are severe, Harrison said,
