they would not dream of hurting any

As the Sherley bill proposes to
manufacture cotton duck to supply
an existing shortage, using labor
from the Atlanta prison, Judge Will
liam c. Fits, Assistant Attorney
General of the United States, ap-
peared before the committee in sup
port of it, He thinks that except in
grave emergencies, convicts should
be employed in the open air. His re.
search convinced him that at least
fifty per cent of them will be bene-
fitted by open air employment. With
twenty-five per cent needed for work
in caring for the institution itself,
a fourth remained who might be
better adapted for indoor work
than for the outside work of farm
ing or roadbuilding. Mr.. T. H. Du-
lanev, Federal superintendent of
prisons, who followed discussed
prison reforms with the commit
tee, but said that they were not
germane to the question in the pres
ent emergency. The question was of
using mill, employing 45O men and
500 looms, to make 100000 yards
of cotton duck year, to supply Gov
ernment needs beyond the capacity
Of all the mills privately owned. He
promised that, when the authority
nd the appropriation are given him,
he will make cloth enough in the first
twelve months to repay the invest
ment twice over" This may give
some idea Of how present prices on
war contracts in general are calcu-
lated to reward patriotism, otherwise

The results of the civil war are
represented in the Thirteenth Amend

But it has an exception. Govern
ment ownership of men is permitted

ship in single case-when the per
son to be enslaved has been duly
convicted" of crime.
No slaves except convicts can be
lawfully held under either private or
public ownership in the United
States. This amendment defining
this principle is the most progress
sive measure ever adopted, since
slavery, private and public, was
substituted for our aboriginal and
natural habit Of taking prisoners Of
war as a means of conserving and
co-ordinating the food supply to es-
cape meatless days.
As in spite of this progress, State
and Federal Governments are still
permitted by the Constitution to own
and use convicts as slaves, Mr.. Sher-
ley, Of the House Judiciary Commit
tee, inserted in his bill a clause
which would draw no line against
absolute slavery even though "in-
voluntary servitude" cannot be abol-
ished for convicts. Under this clause.
the Attorney General of the United
States would he aarlthorized and em-
powered" to apply the earnings of
convicts engaged in manufacturing
for the Government in their behalf
as human beings or to the support
Of their dependents. In principle,
this clause is the most humane and
civilized legislative proposition of
the year. It is we'll worth a special
message to both houses in joint ses-
sion.
