Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Novt 4.-The convict
labor problem for the state is in fair
way Of settlement. There will be no
further conflict between the state
authorities and the labor unions.
Governor Clarke and President Strict,
of the Federation OF Labor, with Sena
tor McCoI, member CT the board of
control. ard others representing labor
interests held q long conference yes
tec6ay afternoon. There has been long
standing complaint on the part OF the
labor leaders abou. the labor of the
men at the state institution a. Fcrt
Madison coming into conflict with the
union labor In the city 1t has been
alleged this is true both as to the work
IN the shops and outside the walls.
Last summer there was specific COM
plant that men from the prison had
been permitted to go into Fort Madi-
son and do painting and papering and
work at carpentry. This was stopped
and there has been nothing done for
some months. But during the sum-
ner a party OF men from the prison
was sen: out to a farm to engage in
building barn for farmer. There
was complaint about this task. But It
was shown that as matter Of fact the
farmer couldn't at that time &c; any
BODY else TO do the work and 1t had
10 be done right away and he did the
best he could by utilizing some of the
idle labor in the state prison. The
pr ce he paid was the same as if ne had
hired free labor.
Then it was discovered some time
last year that the holders of the famous
tool contract at Fort Madison are
making certain lines OF tools on orders
for big firms handling fine grades OF
tools. and thus bringing the convict
labor on the contracts into competition
wi.h free union labor.
It was agree that as to the contract
labor nothing can be done to put q
stop to It entirely until the legislature
ACES. The present contracts must be
continued. for short periods only, until
the state is prepared to make use OF
the convict labor it has. The governor.
the board and the labor leaders are in
harmony on this subject. AS for the
Work,nen sent out TO do small odd
Jobs this matter will be adjusted by
the board. After the conference. Presi-
den. Harry Strict expressed himself as
we'll pleased with results.
