Major J. B. Wood, superintendent
Of the penitentiary, and L. l.. Scherer,
w. w. Bradley, James BrockweiI and
J. Fl. Wilkinson. of the pententiary
board, appeared yesterday in WASH
ington before the Senate Committee
on Labor and asked that farm
products be exempted from the pro-
visions of the Hensley bill regulat-
ing Interstate. commerce shipment OF
convict-made goods
The Virginia penitentiary officials
contended that farm products raised
bv conyicts on the State farm are
placed on the market at the same
prices that other goods are sold and
that 1t cannot be held that they force
down the prices OF products OF nom

Should the bill pass the overalls and

State S Delegation

Washington, April t2.-Presi-

the keynote of the Democratic
national campaign In his speech
berg tomorrow night at the
jefferson Day banquet. Those
close to him say he viii accept
the challenge of Colonel Roosevelt
and E.Iihu Root concerning his
foreign policies.
There is a general belief here that
the campaign will be fought out
largely on questions arising from the
war and from the Mexican situation,
and that domestic issues will play
far less important part than In former
political contests. II is said to be the
Presidents wish that the Democratic
national and state committeeman

running mate, and the man who will
greatly strengthen the ticket in the

tor Kern.
Some significance was attached by
Republicans to the statement by SeTa-
tor Lawrence Y. Sherman. of Illinois,
that Illinois delegates TO the Chicago

Roosevelt as their second choice. He
said.
THE ifty-eight delegates from
Illinois will support me solidly. The

COURT OPINION
DEFEAT { -H0URLA
Washington Judge Holds *'sta-
tion Workers. On Road Work
Are Sub Contractors.

OLYMPIA, WASH, Jan. 13.-The
theory that an eight-hour work day
can be secured by the easy process
of legislative enactment appeals to
some unionists, but these workers
have again been awakened to the de-
vious ways by which this legislation
may be weakened and nullified by
Judge Wright, of the Thurston
county superior court. -
The court has ruled that "station
workers" under road and railroad
contractors are not employees but
sub contractors, and this decision, if
sustained by the. state supreme court,
means the wiping out of the eight
hours public works law, according
to Labor Commissioner Olson. Chair
man Daggart of. the industrial insur-
ance commission. is quoted as saying
that the decision opens the doors for
limitless evasions of the workmen's
compensation act.
State officials hold that ''station
workers" are merely laborers paid
on a piece basis and the employer is
responsible both for assessments on
their accounts for industrial insur-
ance and for violation Of the eight
hour law. 1t is now claimed that
Judge Wrfght's ruling will permit
public works contractors and many
loggers and lumbermen to put prac-
tically all their work on a piece
basis and not only violate the eight
hour law but Destroy the effective-
ness of the state compensation act.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The Car

the United Garment Worker of
America, takes exception to the
statement of William S. Kies, vrce
president Of the National City Bank
Of New York city, who is quoted as
expressing the opinion that labor
must prepare for sweeping wage re-

movement after many years of

Gov. Hunt Is Fair.
In letter to the Committee on In
dustrial Relations answering a request
for information, Governor Hunt says:
I'm discouraging the importation of
strikebreakers I: have been actuated
chiefly: by the desire to avert blood
shed, to safeguard life and property
and to keep in view the possibility of
amicable arbitration of differences
between employers and employees. It
is, in my opinion: hardly reasonable
to suppose that any considerable body
of WORKING men will voluntarily in
itiate and endure the hardships that
invaribly. attend a large strike with
out being firmly convinced that they
have grievances which need adjust
ment, and that their cause is one

ton Of the companies or individuals
by whom they are employed.
No Gunmen There.
1T follows, as L believe, that in
the average case where the men are
not deliberately rendered antagonistic
and not: amenable to reason by the
importation of thugs and gunner,
any fair compromise acceded to by
their employers will be met half way
by the workingnen: While the Cliff
ton-Morenci strike is, as yet, unset
tied. it has not been characterized
by that violence which marks the
| progress, not infrequently, of indus
trial disputes. It is, moreover, my
opinion that a settlement might long
ago have been reached, had the man.
ayers of the mines affected been
reasonable in dealing with their form

sition to arbitrate existing differences
involving conditions Of employment"
