shall be employed directly under state control on roads, farms, or in manufac- turing articles for use in the institutions and departments under the control of the state.
 For the past four years this committee and the labor unions, especially the United Garment Workers of America. have been fighting what is known as the leasing system, whereby the labor of the convict is sold to the highest bidder, the bid always bring from 50 per cent to D per cent less than is paid to the work CTS in the same line of industry outside of our penal institutions.
 The effect of this prison competition is illustrated by figures gathered by the bureau of labor statistics of Missouri which has just completed an exhaustive investigation into conditions at the Mis- souri state prison at Jefferson City. r The clothing factory at that prison re- ported output for 1912 of overalis and other garments valued at over $25OO, ,OOO The convict working force consisted of SS7 men and A women, a total of 931 While for their labor the state received $2OO,629. The total amount paid out in wages and salaries for superintendents etc, was $371, 1885, From these figures 1t will be noted that the cost of labor was so small when compared to that at a similar factory outside the prison walls as to be startling.
 Free manufacturers are asked to com- pare their own pay roll with that of tho contractors at this prison where for healthy male conyicts 70 cents per day was paid, while for few cripples and the women the figure was Only 50 cents per day.
 The national committee on prison labor and the unions see that this unfair com petition can be overcome by the work for the state whereby no prison goods reach the open market. put these two groups need the support of all interested either for business or humanitarian req sons to bring about results which shall be effective and lasting.
 From a practical business standpoint organized labor has brought this matter before the people of the country and awaits their action.

Mr. Folk, in reply directed atten-
ton to the fact that the commission
had no power to punish for contempt
as courts have. and, as a result, had
been given authority by the Congress
to proceed against ereealcitrant wit

that so long as he WAS at the head of

invoked in every clear case Of the re-

case, it would have been enough to
threaten the rebels that the embargo
on the expectation of arms and am-

either mend Huerta's manners or re-

cannot easily be confined to the limits

Last Battle Believed
Mexico's Bloodiest One

San Pedro De Los Colonia, Coohuiia.
April Is. Via Torreon, April ia
survey of the battlefield of the last
weeks shows that the battle for pos.
session of this city was the bloodiest
of the revolution.
The battle was at it's climax Sat-
urday, Sunday and Monday. and on
the last day the rebel loss in wounded
alone was $50 men,. In all 1900 rebels
were wounded so seriously as to re-
quire hospital treatment during the
engagement. The rebel dead may new
er be known, owing to the wide area
covered by the battle.
The Federal loss was at least $500
killed, wounded, prisoners and dis

Federals who were separated from
their commands and fed, individually
or in small detachments, to the hills
or into the desert, probably to perish
there for lack of food and water.

Der of so-called volunteers. or red

All the prisoners. including one ma
| jor, three captains and 10 lieutenants,
are being sent to Torreon.
The last days fighting was begun
with the Herrera and Benavides bril-
| gades attacking frcm the south, while
Villa, with two brigades and General
| Contreras, charged from the west.
| Generals 0rtega and Hernandez at
| tackled from the east.
| Failure of the rebel column assign
ed to attack from the north to arrive
on time probably saved the Federals

The assault was met by a whitening

| but surrounded and fought desperate

| through the rebel ranks. They fought
ever line 20 miles in length but grad
ually were forced toward the center

| the north, left open by the non-arrival
| of the troops assigned to that posi-
| ton.
This was at o'clock in the after
noon, after 10 hours of terrific fight

were found.
The presence of General Velasco,
who evacuated Torreon April Q, at

Cruiser Tacoma Fight
Waves and Suffers Delay

Newport, r. l., April 16.-The cruis-
err Tacoma which left Boston yester-
day for this port on her way to Sa-
yannah, had terrific battle with an
easterly gale off the Massachusetts,
coast last night and TODAY during
which her decks were swept by the
waves, the steam whistle entirely dis
abled and the wireless room flooded,
according to a radiogram received here
today.
The Tacoma sailed from Boston yes
terday noon. On getting outside or
Cape Cod the cruiser ran into the
storm that was working up the coast
and because of her heavy stock OF
coal and ammunition the seas rolled
over her as If she were submarine
with her decks awash.
The gale off Nantucket today was
one of the stiffest in several weeks
and the cruiser wallowed In the Dig
surges with the big pillows breaking
on board every few minutes.
Commander Twinning in wireless
message, stated that he expected to
arrive here about p, NJ.
The Tacoma was compelled to fight
the storm throughout the day, ana
was so delayed that her commander
notified the officials here tonight that
she would not arrive much before
midnight.
The draft of seamen, coal passers
and others will be taken aboard at
O'Clock tomorrow morning and the
Tacoma will sail as soon after that
hour as possible.
