CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, April g.
According to the Cedar Rapids Tri-
bune, the local labor paper, the Build
ing Trades Council, through a COM
mittee, has secured a contract with
the American Cereal company, which
provides for the employment Of union
workmen exclusively on the erection
Of buildings which are to cost $780,

by the presentation to the city coun-
Gil Of the plans now in vogue in this
city.
AS the result Of the conference a
delegation composed of the mayor
and officials of the union proceeded
to- Chicago for the purpose of lay
ing the proposition before the presi-
dent Of the company having the work
in contemplation.
The president of the company &C.
copied the plans proposed by the
union men and stated that union shop
provisions would be incorporated In
the contracts to be- made. The union
men are highly elated over the sue
cess in securing an agreement for this
large amount of work.

LANSING, Mich, April 3.-since
the workmen's compensation and en-
ployers' liability act went into effect,
a little more than six months ago, the
average number of fatal accidents to
employees Of persons, firms, partner

on the fatalities and non-fatal acct
dents occurring to the employees of
more than 1000 employers Of labor,
from the largest railroad, manufacture
ing, and mining companies down to
the small shops where the pay roll
does not exceed few hundred dollars

PROTESTS AGAINST

Governor Of Florida Helping TO
Revoke Graft Contract
= In State Prison.

TAMPA, Fla, April SIN a recent
Issue of the Tampa Tribune the fol-
lowing excerpts are taken, referring
to the convict lease system in opera
ton in that state:
The public sentiment of the state
appears to be practically unanimous
~ IN favor OF abollshing the contract
system. We have just inaugurated a
governor who declares against the
system in his inaugural address and
VINO may be*expected to do everything
In his power to have the lawmakers
wipe out this blot upon Florida's fair
name. ="
"A writer in current magazine
shows that the leasing OF convicts to
work for private contracts not only
makes unfair competition for other
workers, but causes harbarous treat
ment of the prisoners. .:
The governor Of a southern state
was telling an English visitor of the
workings Of the lease system in: his
state. Every convict we have pays
US profit Of $50 a year over and
above all expenses Them said the
Englishman, If the more prisoners
you have the greater profit why not
put all your population in prison if
you are In it as. a money-making
scheme?' -; -
The governor of Arkansas, failing
to obtain the repeal Of the convict
lease law and becoming convinced Of
the 1ll-treatment Of prisoners by the
lesses, pardoned $50 convicts at one
time.
1T was drastic measure, but it
did the work. The lease system
makes more criminals than it cures.

prisoner and society. Florida must

COURT fSSUES..WR|T :.
IN HAYWARD CASE
I. w. w. Leader Sentenced to Six
Months in Prison, to Have
Freedom $500 Bail.

PATERSON, N. j.. April 3.-Estab-
fishing the fact that William D. Hay
wood, the labor leader, had been SEN
fenced to six months in the county
Jail at hard labor on a nominal dis
orderly conduct charge and held in
$1,000 bail, on a statute established
by King Charles l., in 1865, At
torney Henry Marelli obtained from
Supreme Court Justice James Min
turn both writs of certiorari and
habeas corpus to release the prisoner.
Both Haywood and Lessig refused
to take advantage of the writs by
putting up $4,000 bail for their liber-
ty, preferring to remain in jail until
brought before Judge Minturn satur-
day on the habeas corpus proceedings.
Three thousand strikers protested
against the arrest and sentencing Of
their leaders. ..
The writ Of certiorari calls for q
complete review of the evidence on
which Recorder Carroll imposed on
Haywood and Adolph Lessig, leader OF
the striking Paterson silk workers,
the extreme penalty. The prisoners
were ordered released on $500 bail
pending the hearing on the writ by
the supreme court in June.
The writ of habeas corpus calls for
the prisoners appearance on Satur-
day before Judge Minturn, when the
legality of the charge Of unlawful
assemblage'' under which they were
held in $4,000 bail each to await ac-
ton of the grand jury will be ques-
toned.
1t is this charge, based on one of
New Jerseys mustiest and most OBJ
solete blue laws, that has aroused
the indignation of the strikers and
their sympathizers. =.
This law is contemporary of many
other laws still in New Jersey. Its
counterparts are. those laws prohibit
ing anyone from walking the streets
on Sunday, from wearing buckled
shoes or from going without a hat.

Fruit On Coast.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April Sin
the fifteenth biennial report of the
State Bureau Of Labor statistics, just
published, it is stated that the bureau
has accomplished more good during
tory.
The bureau has brought all employ
ment agencies under it's control. thus
preventing applicants for work from
being subjected to exorbitant charges.
Theatrical booking agencies also have
been brought under control, and one
Of the most vicious practices has been
wiped out.
AS proof Of the contentious of the
labor bureau, it is asserted that child
labor is under complete control, and
it is pointed out that during the year
ended January 80, 1912, attendance at
the public schools of the state in
creased 2o,147.
Since the bureau undertook en-
forcement of the laws regulating tenn
porary floors in buildings under
construction the number of accidents
caused by falls in the ranks of struct-
ural iron workers alone has been re-
duced IS per cent.
Legislation also is urged to curb the
activities Of shipping contractors, who
employ about 5000 men in San Fran
cisco each season and ship them north
to work in the Alaskan salmon can
ming factories. Instances are given
where sailors who sign articles are
mulcted of practically all their wages
and in many cases are never paid
anything;

Twelve men went in one shipment
from New York, and upon arriving at
Erie the suspicion of the men was
aroused, but it was still further as
serted that there was no strike on. Six
OF the men refused to go to the place
