United labor bulletin., 1913-02-13


I'VE believe that legislation should be
enacted by the legislature that Will pro-
vide for such an Institution, where girls
can be sent and where they will be sur
rounded by kind and generous treatment
that will bring them up to better WON.
auhood: legislation should be enacted
that will provide for the release oil girls
after II has been demonstrated that tney
can be depended upon to lead different
lives.
.Your committee believes that the
laundry conducted by the Home OF the
Good Shepherd is undermining the iaun-
dry business Of the city. Whiie we re
, Kret that the institution has not SUI
hcient income to maintain " IN he ~
knovledged good work that It 10 doing
among females OF minor years. without
the taking OF laundry work at prices that
undermine free labor Throughout the
CITY. yet wo must record ourselves as De
Ing opposed 10 the custom OF finstituuohs
that hold individuals in restraint anu vi
institutions to which girls are sentenced
by n court OF record doing work that Is
in competition with free labor
your committee believes that the In
stitution OF the Home OF the GOOD Shep
herd comes under the head of penai
institution inasmuch as girls are held In
With and without due process OF law.
and we further believe that Il comes un'
d.r that list OF Institutions that are
amenapic TO the law that says they shaii
not compete with free labor. Your com
Z unittee believes that, should legislation
Die refused that will properly regulate
such Institutions and properly pro'ioe
Tor the care OF minor femaies, then ,ne
courts should be resorted TO and efahu
tnr
aitions at the Home OF the 1ood sheP-
herd. ms they anect free LABOR. and to IN
vest,xate whether or not IL Is IN VIOLATION
of any statute now on the BOOKS.
