CONVICT LABOR SCORED.

Hartford, Conn,-Contract prison la
Dor is scored in report by the State
legislative committee appointed to in
vestigate conditions in the New Haven
county Jail.
"The present contract for the labor of
the prisoners is unbusinesslike" it is
stated. "The county actually receives
about IA cents day for each of the
prisoners furnished to the chair COM
pany In addition to this the company
is provided with heat and electric cur
rent at the expense of the county and
the contractor deducts from the con-
tract price of the labor and the actual
cost of electric current used for power
purposes. There is also reduction
owing to change in the hours of en-
ployment in the factory.
"The county actually receives as net
profit on the contract little, if anything,
for the labor of the prisoners, after the
deductions aforesaid have been made"

COURTING OF LABOR
PRESENT-DAY TACTICS

San Francisco.-"A short half CEN
tury ago." says the Labor Clarion, "the
organizations of labor in this country
were looked upon with suspicion and
their members treated with open, undis-
guised discourtesy and brusqueness by
the average citizen of the United States.
They were quite generally considered to
be organizations instituted for the sole
purpose OF provoking trouble through in
terfering with the undisputed rights of
the employer and calculated to serve no
useful end whatever. Under these con-
dltions, with popular opinion almost SOL
idly against them, the pioneers in the
movement needed courage and dogged
determination to continue on the course
mapped out by the clear-visioned men
who saw in organization of the toilers
medium through which the wrongs
from which they suffered could be right
ed. 1t was the consciousness of cer-
tain power to follow that kept them at
their task and gave to the men of today
the unions of achievement that are few
erishy courted by those who desire to
have their policies woven into the fab
ric of governmental reality.
"A retrospective view over this short
period of time shows the great changes
the years have wrought The once
heartily despised organizations of labor
now occupy a position that receives
courtesy and friendship from those who
are interested in the progress and well
fare of humanity, and that commands
respect, and even meekness from those
who are arrogant toward the powerless.
Now the influence of organized labor is
sought from all sides.
'And what is the magic thing that
has brought about this great change
in the course of few short years Why
is the organized worker of today ac-
corded the respectful consideration due
a man, rather than as in the old days,
treated like beast of burden?
"The answer is simple one. In unity
there is strength, and the workers have
had the intelligence to appreciate this
fact, the courage to carry out their con-
victions and the stamina to successfully
organize. In single word the cause of
the change is organization.
The American wage-worker is proud
of his achievements in the field of or
ganization, though he is not by any
means satisfied with the present status
of affairs and has not the slightest in
tention of slowing down in his efforts to
bring his brothers still on the outside
within the fold. In truth, his work has
only started, the end being still but an
indistinct vision in the distance"

OPPOSE FOOD GAMBLING.

Fargo, n. Dat meeting of Equity
Exchange stockholders, including about
60 farmers from various parts of the
State, the government was urged on be-
half of the farmers of the northwest,
to take the following steps as war meas
ures:
"To prohibit trading in futures and
all speculative deals in food products.
'To guarantee an adequate supply of
labor for handling crops
ITO fix sufficient minimum price on
wheat and other farm products.
ITO take charge of railroad transpor-
tation SO that food crops shall not be
delayed in reaching the market.
ITO levy tax on large incomes, war
profits and luxuries sufficient to bear
all the expenses of the war"

MINERS WILL IGNORE CANT
STRIKE" LAW.

Frederick, Col-The following easily
understood letter has been forwarded
TO the state industrial commission at
Denver, by United Mine Workers un-
ion No. 1858:
Dear Sirs-In regard to an investiga-
ton in behalf of the miners of this
(Frederick) district-has an investiga-
ton been held, and what was the de-
cision?
"The commission promised to start an
investigation not later than the 18th Of
January, 1917, if we (the miners) would
remain at our work 1t is now the 10th
of April; no decision has been handed
down; the bonus has been taken off
men have been Disseminated against
I'VE hereby inform you that we will
not tolerate any interference of the in
dustrial commission when we present
Our demands again. Only a full con-
cession from the operators will cause
us to remain at work, as we fully real
ize that the industrial commission is not
for our benefit"

CALHOUN COUNTY CITIZENS REQUEST
 SPECIAL TAX VOTE
Large Delegation of Rural Residents Appear Before the Board of Education
 Asking Election Call

Anniston, January 1o-(special.) )-There lis strong probability that the county board of education will call for an election within the next 50 days, to see whether the majority of voters in Calhoun county are willing to be assessed mills for school purposes instead of mill as at present
 This was made evident at the meeting of the board held in this city yesterday afternoon, when number of rural resi- dents appeared and asked that an election be called.
 Mayor L. L. Scarborough also addressed the board on the subject and asked that an election be called at an early date, in order that money could be provided for the schools of the city as well as of the county.
 James Keith. Jr., president of the board, made the statement that there Is a gratifying change in the situation.
 Before the election, at which the school amendment to the state constitution was adopted" said Mir. Keith, there was con- siderable opposition to the plan. This op- position was the. result of a wrong i'm . pression that has since been disseminated. and it is not found in many cases, the very people who most strongly opposed s 3-mill tax are now most heartily in favor of it."
 The board received a number of reports showing the condition of rural schools. In every case the schools are crowded and the attendance of the pupils is more regu- larly than ever before. It is commonly found that there are from 40 to 60 pupils to the teacher, but in some cases there are as many as 80, and there will be more as soon as the compulsory education law becomes effective.
