TO ABOLISH
GUARD SYSTEM
SECRETARY OF LABOR WILL
SON URGES CONGRESS TO
ACTS AGAINST PRIVATE
SOLDERING.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-In his
first annual report Secretary of La
Dor Wilson asks congress to pass leg
islation that will prevent the inter-
state transportation of armed guards
in times of strike. Reference is made
to the use of these individuals, who
the secretary reports, "Are said to
have been imported from Colorado and
other states through business con-
cern engaged commercially across
state lines in supplying corporations
with an armed and trained soldiery or
police in numbers running into hun
dreds and even thousands. In connec-
ton with the Pere Marquette strike
in Michigan, armed guards, furnished
by agencies in other states supplying
men to take the place of local strikers,
accompanied those men to Grand Ra-
pids. They were then turned back by
the United States marshal under in
structions from the district judge. In
tne calumet copper inning region
armed guards under contract with the
employers were forwarded to the To-
cality by agencies in other states"
Mr.. Wilson urges congress to take ac-
ton within it's constitutional limita-
tions to regulate this business in the
interest of peace and order 1t is
shown that this suggestion is neither
novel or new, and the report of the
congressional committee that investi-
gated the Homestead strike, twenty
one years ago, is quoted at length as
a precedent. This report favored regu-
lation and declared these guards might
properly be characterized as sort
of private military or police force"
Mr.. Wilson submits that the rights of
in this matter are unques-
because of it's laws relating
to the white slave" traffic and the
opinion of congress and the public gen.
orally that interstate commerce no
longer applies to traffic in commodi-
ties only.

The Convicts' Day Off.
(NeW York WOrld.)

Warden McCormicks plan of giv- ing Sing Sing prisoners day off every week has worked so we'll that 1t will probably be made a permane nt feature of prison reform. On Sunday from A. M. to 4:3O in the afternoon, the prisoners are granted the free dom of the prison yard, with liberty to loaf or read or play tennis or in- dulge in any rational recreation. And instead of eating in their cells they sit down together to hot dinner in the mess hall. An immediate result of the relaxation of discipline for the day has been a 33 per cent. improve ment in their shop work.
 That means a 33 per cent. improve ment in their health and vitality as we'll, and proportionate increase in their interest in life. Nothing tones up the ordinary man so well as the leisure that comes as the reward of work, and the incentive should have the same effect with men in prison Perhaps it will incidentally reduce the addiction to drugs, .fhe alarming growth of which has raised a new problem of penology.
 But without attempting to measure the material benefit to prisoners of 8 day of real leisure, the plan has much to commend it on the score of humah- ity and enlightened prison administra- tion. The purpose of prison scopfine- ment is not merely to punish but to reclaim, and an excellent way.to that end is to counteract discontent and despair in the prison by just such means of healthful recreation as the Sing Sing convicts now have.
New Britain herald., 1914-08-05

Papers have gone astray on their way to New Britain but how one of the leading dailies of the state should be two days going to Hartford is a question that really should be an- swered in the interest of quick de- livery. There were no wrecks on the New Haven road, the rural free de- livery wagon had been heard from regularly and so far the war has not affected transportation in Connecti- cut. There has been more or less trouble in Norwalk ever since con- solidation was adopted, but that Is no reason whNn it's newspapers should get off the track, be gone for two days and then turn up probably with the wrapper gone. Tn New Britain such
 matters have been heard of before and the mail service, which is now run on an economical basis, has been censured. The trolley means of car
 rying mail has been abandoned in some sections of the state. Is it pos sible that snail service has been sub stituted? ...s @t.
