CONVICT LABOR EVIL.
Exploitation of Prisoners Called State

Exploitation of Prisoners Called State
Crime by Jane Adams.
Jane Adams of Hull House in an ad-
dress before the Chicago Ethical soci-
ETY. called attention to the iniquity of
prison labor contracts that exploit the
prisoner and leave his family to starve.
She called the practice a state crime.
"One man." said Miss Adams was
in prison seven years. He had forged

payment on little home. All the sew
ell years he worked long hours daily
The profit of his labor went to prison

cents day for his work, not enough
to pay for his maintenance

day when she brought three little chill
dren to the Hull House nursery to be
kept while she was at work-used to
say, Il must keep the children together
till he comes For six years she did
so, working as scrubwoman in
downtown office building.
But she did not see that in provid
ing for the fatherless children she had
also made them motherless. Her work
kept her away from home at just the
hours when the children were out of
school and needed her. Result-the son
the daughter being where she should
not have been, became the victim of
brutality; the mother broke down and
gave the third child over to an institu-
ton. At the end of the sixth year the
family was ruined. All were county or
state charges And this because the
earnings of the convict father went to
a prison contractor and not to those
dependent on him for food and shell

Miss Adams gave other examples of
the prison labor contract as an evil.

LABOR LAW UPHELD.
New York Judge Holds That State May
Limit Women's Toll.

Justice Blackmar of the supreme
court of New York, sitting in Brook
Ign, handed down decision recently
UNFOLDING the ffty-four hour law,
which makes it a crime to employ mi
nors and women more than fifty-four
hours a week So far as the law relat-
ed to minors, Justice Blackmar said
that phase of the measure could be
summary disposed of, as there was no
question of the right of the legislature
ito prescribe such limitations in the
case Of minors, who are wards of the
state"
The important question, he said, was
whether it is constitutional for the
Legislature to make it crime to en-
ploy an adult female to work more
than fifty-four hours a week" Justice
Blackmar held that it was constitu-
tional.
Part of Justice Blackmar's decision
reads:
THE development of the industrial
life of the nation, the pressure Of wom-
en- and children entering the industrial
field in competition with men physical
ly better qualified for the struggle has
compelled them to submit to conditions
and terms of service which 1t cannot be
presumed they would freely choose.
Their liberty to contract to sell their
labor may he but another name for in
voluntary service created by existing
industrial conditions
"A law which restraints the liberty to
contract may tend to emancipate them
by enabling them to act as they choose
and not as competitive conditions COM
pei All these considerations are for
the legislature, and for the legislature
alone 1t Is only where the statute
controls conduct in matters plainly and
obviously Indifferent to the welfare Of
the public, or any portion thereof, that
the courts can pronounce the act vio-
iative Of civil liberties Certainly this
is not such case"
The law was attacked by William
Hoelderlin, proprietor Of a candy fac
tory in Brooklyn. To test the act he
submitted himself to arrest on a charge
Of violating the law in three ways-by
employing a male and a female minor
and a woman adult over f1fty-four
hours week. Argument on the writ
was heard by the court in November,
and the decision dismissed the writ and
remanded Hoelderlin to jail.

THE TOlLlNG CHILDREN.

We never see the big blue sky
From out some country lane,
We never watch the clouds sail by
Above the waving grain.
We never hear at close of day
The birds grow quiet in sleep,
We never run, we never play
We only toll and weep.
The dark, cold night has hardly fed
!, Ere we are set to work.
With weary fingers. aching head
But, ah! we dare not shirk!
Work fast! Work fastr' our pa
rents cry
And though our tears flow free
We choke them back, for If we cry
Our task we cannot see.
We are so young, the days so long.
Yet there's no time to smile,
Or make believe, or sing q song
And, oh, to sleep awhile!
But. no, we do not dare to pause,
They beat us If we do
Oh, tell US, are there, then, no laws
For little children too?
We only ask a little play,
A little youth and Zest,
little time for fun each day,
A little sleep and rest.
We're always hungry, often cold,
oh, let us stop, we pray!
It cannot be that Gods been told
How long we work each day
