To Probe Boycott Of Prison Goods.
The state penology commission at
Marquette decided to invoke the
power given 1t under the special act
under which II was constituted to Sc
cure enforcement Of the law against
conspiracy and boycott by men or or
ganizations that seek to restrict or
prevent the sale of the products of
prison labor.
Under the state law the commits
sion has power to summon wit
nesses and conduct inquiries and
It is proposed to use this power to
ascertain the facts that lie behind
any boycott of prison-made goods. and
then to proceed against the men or or
CARNATIONS involved.
BY taking this attitude and making
the fullest use of its powers the COM
mission expects effectually to discour-
age any further attempts to discrimin-
ate against prison-made products.
In carrying out the new industrial
| policy of the prisons the boards of
control have come up against this sit
| uation which Is thought to be an out
| growth of the hostility Of union labor.
Hunting Season Opens.
| Deputy Game Warden Hoyt esti-
mates that there we're 5000 hunters
in the north woods at the opening OF
the deer season. Reports from county
clerks in various parts of the state in.
dictate that the number of licenses IL.
sued this year is considerably below
the average.
1t Is, claimed that many veteran
hunters refuse to make the trip to the
north woods this year because OF the
new law, which limits each man to q
single deer
According to the game warden's de
partment. few birds are being killed.
Deputy Hoyt says 1t may be neces
sary to ask the next legislature to lin
the ban on fox squirrels. Farmers re-
port that the squirrels are increasing
in such numbers that in some places
they have seriously damaged corn
There is a closed season on fox SPUR
rels until 1920.
