ORGANIZED LABOR TO MAP OUT
new CONVICT LABOR PROGRAM

The committee appointed by E. G.
Hall, president Minnesota S. F. of L.
to investigate the convict labor situa
ton in Minnesota will meet next week
in st. Paul and organize. For the past
few years organized labor has pro-
tested in various ways against the en-
ployment of convicts on state work
where their labor would come into
competition with free labor. The op-
position from the labor organizations
has been of haphazard kind, that
sometimes tended to make union
labor's position appear to be inconsist-
ent.
The American Federation of Labor
Is on record in favor of what is known
as the state account system. Under
this system the inmates Of penal in
stitutions are employed in the manu-
facture Of goods for use by the various
state institutions. This is the New
York plan, and it seems to work satis-
factorily. Free labor has endorsed it
the state seems satisfied with it, and
convicts are given an opportunity to
follow such work as may be of use
to them when they are set free.

the other hand convicts are EMPLOYED
in the prison under the iniquitous
contract system in the manufacture
Of shoes, and also in the manufacture
of binding twine and farm machinery.
Very little of this work is of value to
the prisoners.
It is organized labor's purpose now
to study the convict labor situation
from every angle; from the stand
point of free labor; from that of So
ciety at large, and lastly, but by no
means least, from the stand point Of
the convicts themselves, to ascertain
whether or not the work they are now
doing contributes to their welfare
when liberty shall have been restored
to them. II

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Sept. 25.

Eugene v. Debs of Terre Haute, Ind,
Socialist candidate for president last
fall, in announcing the success of his
fight to beat down public criticism
against his taking young woman in
to his home when she was being
forced into the red light district by
the police of her native city.
Debs announced that his expert
ment had met with complete success.
He said that the woman had been

that she would be submerged through
the force of circumstances.

plete, convincing exposure of the cor

Association of Manufacturers"
This is what President Samuel
Gompers, of the American Federation
OF Labor, says has been the result OF
the congressional investigation of
lobby activities. With both senate
and house probes practically con-
cluded, Gompers today gave his re-
view of the evidence.
The principal result of the investi-
gatlon has been nation wide ex-
posure Of the corrupt methods of the

ers,' Gompers asserted. ''The people
now know how it has attempted to
control the members Of congress, bribe
labor leaders and crush labor.
Not Only Against Labor.
THE case under investigation was
not between the N A. M. and organ
lied labor, but between the N. A. M
and the people of the United States
Here lies the difference between
the legislative efforts of the N. A. M.
and organized labor-the N. A. M.
used corrupt methods for corrupt pur-
poses, while labor used legitimate
methods for legitimate ends-the bet
terment of humanity and human
rights.
'"The legislation which labor sought
was in the interest of humanity, to
conserve life, health and justice.
There isn't thing we advocate which
would not, if properly allowed to go
through, better mankind.
II can't bring myself to believe that
either committee will in any way re-
port or recommend legislation which
would in the slightest degree curtail
the liberty of workers of our country
to secure beneficient legislation to the
common people we are fighting fairly

in the end.

EMPLOY EIGHT GIRLS
That Many Used to Make Collars
and Cuffs Bearing the
Union Label.

There are more than two million
members Of trade unions in America,
and yet there is but one firm in
America making collars and cuffs
that bear the union label. This firm
employees regularly not more than
eight girls. In other words there are
only used enough union made collars
and cuffs to give employment to eight
working women.
Is not this situation a direct reflec-
ton upon the integrity of the trade
union movement? In circular letter
just issued by the United Garment
workers Of America the members of
American trade unions are urged to
wake up, become consistent, and de-
mand union made collars.
The firm using the union label on
their collars and cuffs they manufac-
ture is known as Ide Bros, Albany,
N. Y. Their goods are known as the
"Belp' brand. They can be pur-
chased in Duluth at the Big Duluth.
Let us see how many Duluth union
men will call for union made collars
during this and the coming month.

GREAT LABOR LAWYER IS AT HIS BEST
BEFORE JURIES IN CONSPIRACY CASES

Clarence S. Darrow is so we'll
known to every man and woman of
labor that it is unnecessary to tell
them who he is. But there are peo-
pie living in our city whose only
knowledge of the man has been
cleaned from newspaper reports
through the part he played as coun-
sci for the Mcnamara brothers in
Los Angeles.
Mr.. Darrow is in a class by him.
self as lawyer. He is one of the
few forward-looking men of the law
In this country, and his position as
such has been all the more difficult
because Of the fact that he has al
ways been on the side of the perse-
cuted and oppressed.
His pleas to juries for labor leaders
arrested under trumped up charges
of conspiracy" show Darrow at. his
best. He is not only "counsel for the
defense,' but he is a philosopher and
teacher. His addresses to juries In
labor cases are part of the labor prop
Uganda of America.
Part of Human Struggle.
In every instance he has succeeded
in 1mpressing upon his jury that the
trial was not criminal case, but
an episode in the great battle for hu-
man liberty, a battle which was COM
menced when the tyranny and op-
preston of man first caused him to
impose upon his fellows, and which
will not end SO. long as the children
of one father shall be compelled to
toll to support the children OF an
other in luxury and ease" -~
In one case, that Of conspiracy, in
a community where prejudice was rife
against union labor, and 1t looked
very much as if a we'll known labor
official was to be convicted on ''gen-
eral principles" Mr.. Darrow grew elo-
quent in defense of labor organiza-
tions. He said:
Pleads for Labor Unions.
LET me tell you something Of la
Dor organizations. I have studied the
labor question, and I believe in it,
because love 1t as I do my very life;
because it has been the strongest pas
sion Of my years; because in this
great struggle between the powerful
and the weak I have ever been and
will ever be with the weak so long as
the breath is left within my body to
speak. I have studied it because I
loved it. and because in my own way
I wished to do what I could for the
thousands-aye, the millions Of peo-
pie who are yet poorer than myself.
II know the history Of the labor
movement; I know what it has come
through. I know the difficulties 1t
is in today. know the past is a.
dark chapter Of infamy and wrong;
and yet, gentlemen, the lawyers for

City Breaks Contract With Zenith
Company When It Gives Old
Company Advantage.
ZENITH PHONES FREE;
OTHER COSTS MONEY
Not Fair to Pay for Bell Phones
in City Hall While Zenith Must
Furnish Service Free,

The city commission is coming in
for mere criticism, and it IS all on
account of the action of Mayor Prince
in ordering Bell telephones into the
city hall when other administrations
had kept them out ever since a fran
chise was granted to the Zenith Tele-
pone company, which is some IS
years ago.
There is long political story hid
den somewhere in the archives Of the
city, which if brought to light, would
tell the people of this decade that
there was good reason for refusing to
install the Bell phones in any city de-
partment.
The Duluth Telephone company
once enjoyed franchise from the
city of Duluth. That franchise ex-
pired, and when the council attempt
ed to negotiate with the company for a
new franchise it stood on it's launches
and declared it did not require a. local
franchise to do business in the city.
Bell Company Arbitrary.
This arbitrary attitude got the goat
Of the city officials, and when d
promoter for an Independent company
arrived in Duluth he was given q
franchise that was in every respect
favorable to the people. The Bell
company had been charging $50 a
year for telephone service. The new
company agreed to furnish telephones
for $50 year. Residence service
was given for one-third of that
charged by tn cold company when il
had a monopoly of the business. n
The service, too, was antiquated
and unsatisfactory. The old style
phone was in use, and few working
people were in position to have
telephones in their homes. When the
new company came into existence the
residence telephone came into general
use In the homes of the common
people. Now they are as necessary
in home as any household fixture.

Angeles county, Jail. The people who
used him first permitted McManigal
to take a, fishing trip down to Venice.
His latest exploit was an automo-
bile ride tour of Southern California
in, a luxurious machine. The utmost
secrecy was employed in getting the
informer out of prison, but unfor-
tunately, Joy rides, like murder, will

It is obviously the desire of the
authorities to make McManigaIs life
as soft and velvety as possible. It. is
an open secret the authorities would
like to reward Ortie by giving him his
freedom for the services he rendered
Gen. Otis and the notorious Citizens
Alliance, but it is feared that an en-
ragged public will ask too many ques-
tions, SO he is being held a. while

Jail by selling pies to inmates who
can afford to pay rs cents for a 5

him the exclusive privilege to sell
pies, and his profits are said to be as
high as IS day. In any event Ortie

They met the prosecuting attorneys
for the state-men hired to send them
to jail. They met the prison pen. Aye,
gentlemen, they met the scaffold
and the flames. They were hunted
to death because they dared to asso-
ciate and combine with their fellows
to make themselves better men and
give a little more freedom to the hu-
man race.
Men Met in the Forests.
"The early history of trade union
ism shows that men came together in
the forests, in the rocks, in the waste
places, where no human eye could
see. Pinkerton detectives had not
been invented then, but there were
blood hounds in those days, as there
are lawyers now, and those hunted,
the forest, in the rocks and caves,
and they buried their archives in the
earth where the blood hounds could
not get them to drag them forth to
the light.
"And in those days, if you were a
man who labored for a living, and
went to your neighbor and said to
him, my friend, you ought to, ask
for higher pay" you were a william
and an outcast, and the prison pen
open to receive you. To belong to
labor organizations then was a. crime,
and the prosecutors in this case have
ransacked the ancient cobwebs of the
past and brought out these law
tot mi 1f
bicile judges in the employ Of power
full knayes and quoted their utter
ances to be adopted in this year, and
in the United. States. It was q crime
in those days, as these men would
make 1t here today to do. anything
but work, work patiently and qnques-
tionably for the man he served.
But the Law Is ChanSed.
But that is not the law today. The
law is generally behind, because law
yers look to the past for their pre-
cedents, and are ever governed by
the dead. The reformers of the world
have always led the lawyers. of the
world. These despised reformers saw
the morning and the sunlight rising
far away, so far that the poor, weak,
see only darkness as they looked out
in the night. And these reformers
have gone forth crying in the wilder
ness, and have been sent to Jail and
to the scaffold because they loved
their fellowmen.
"But today 1 take it that every in
telligent person who has investigated
this question, outside of the counsel
for the state, Understand that work
ingmen have the right to organize

satisfied with their conditions, they
