THAT Uncle Sam Will permit no such
iawlessness. Added to this. it viii
serve to weed out the lawless element
which seems to have for the time be-
ing crept into the law abiding Labor
Unions. Labor can gain nothing
by criminal acts. and the conviction
of these men Will likely prove to be
one of the best things which could
have happaaed for the good OF the
honest sad peaceloving American
3 Workman.
Thirty-thrce men have been con-
victed for having engaged in the
destruction of property by dynamite
over an area stretching from Boston.
Massachusetts. to Los Angeles. Cali
fornia. They will serve out sentences
ranging from one year and one day
to seven years at the largest Federal
Prison in the United States at Leaven-
worth. Kansas. This great prison,
which at present houses twelve hun
dred and forty-one offenders (includ-
ing the dynamiters) against Federal
Law, is like a model town, and IN
! time the officials expect to make 1t
self-supporting. Uncle Sam Is econoin-
tcal and as far as possible the prison
ers are made to earn their food and
clothing. In many of the State prisons
the inmates are allowed to work over
time for which they are paid. the
money being held for them until the
time of their release. A Federal
prisoner receives no pay for his work
at any time, those in authority think
ing that the plan works unfairly. as
some of the prisoners would be in a
position to earn more money than
others. and the Federal Governments
aim is to treat all men alike.
The prisoners at Leavenworth are
engaged in building around and over
them the very prison in which they
will be confined. The institution when
completed will be not only the largest,
but the best equipped Federal prison
in the country. 1t was begun in 1898
and will probably not be fully corn-
pleted for many years, AT present
1t IS overcrowded and extra cells must
he fitted up. Much of this work can
be done by structural iron workers.
SO it is very likely that the dynamiters
will have plenty of work in their
regular lines and their services will
he welcomed by the officials in charge.
