Convict Labor Authorized

The minute entries read brought out
many instances where the warden was
authorized to utilize convict labor upon
the construction Of highways in sew
eral counties, in the building of a high
way leading to the state fair grounds
at Helena, in the preliminary work
upon q proposed state-owned power
plant on Racetrack creek in Powell
county, upon the erection of new walls
and new buildings at the prison, in the
stone quarry and brick plant and va
rious other activities.
1t also was brought out that in 1911
the clerk was instructed to write to
various cities to ascertain their charges
upon water sales in a quantity aggre-
eating $1,000 gallons, the same to be
used as a basis for the rate to be paid
Conley & McTague for water furnished
the state prison.
The minutes showed that on July 26,
1910. a labor committee headed by
NJ. NJ. Donohue met with the prison
board in protest against the employ
ment of convict labor on roads and
other activities outside the walls and
subsequently a long resolution was
spread on the minutes replying to and
denying this protest of the labor in

No Records for Warden's Supplies
w. N. Swarthout, clerk of the board
OF prison commissioners. was called to
testify as to the records of the board
as bearing upon several causes of ac-
ton. In reply to a series of questions
by Attorney General Rankin, he testi.
fled there were no entries in the min.
utes of the board or other records since
1908 showing authorization for the use
of prison supplies. coal or meat at the
warden's house, warden's laundry. the

horses or machinery to replace horses
or machinery belonging to Conley and
when mad been worn out; for the use
or trading of automobiles; for permit
ting Conley to sell pork or milk to the
state; for permitting Conley to use hay
from the Aylesworth ranch for the
feeding of his dairy cattle. or permit
ting him to use prison labor for indus
tries separate from the prison.
Prison Labor Outside Barred
The witness then produced the prison
board minute book and was questioned
as to matters pertaining to convict la
Dor from 1909 on. He read an order
prohibiting the use Of prisoners on
work other than that of the state,
whereupOn Attorney l.. w. Choate. for
the defense, objected to the line of tes-
tlmony, on the grounds that the con-
provides that no prison labor
shall be furnished any concern or in
divldual and that, in consequence of
this provision, recovery for such use
of prisoners cannot be had.
The minutes showed that at a meet
ing Of the board Nov. q, 1908, the
board had considered a report to the
effect that convict labor was being
used in the erection of dwelling houses
in Deer Lodge and the governor had

prison authorities and had ordered the
work stopped, The minutes further
showed that the board then decided to

Reported by II. b. Lake & Co.

New York, May 9.-The general list
was again irregular today with further
profit taking sales in evidence. 1t was
evident that considerable stock was for
sale on bulges and floor observers said
that the demand for not a few issues
was rather thin. There was nothing
particular in the days news which
could be construed as having specific
market influence. Advices from Genoa
were Of much the same tenor as those
since Sunday and doings there at the
moment appear to have come TO d
standstill. Strength in New Haven had
q helpful effect on the balance Of the
railway shares FOR Il while and the
aforementioned groups held steady
throughout the list. 1t IS quite likely
that the market will exhibit dragging
tendencies at least until there are more
distinct signs of recent heavy distribu-
ton having been digested in a more
manner.-Logan s. Bryan.

mated themselves all the way from nat.

business Of agriculture has gone on Ia
much the one man fashion Of the back
woods Of the first part Of the nine.
teenth century. when the farmer was
SELL sufficient and did not depend upon,
or care very much, what the great
world was doing. The result is that
the agricultural group Is almost as
much at disadvantage In dealing with
other economic groups as the jay farm
or Of the funny pages In the hands or
sleek urban confidence men, who sell
him acreage In Central Park or the
Chicago city hall The leaders Of the
farmers thoroughly understand this,

lntegrate their industry so that 1t VIII

nesses.

Is the United States Steel Corporation,
with its iron mines, its coal mines, It's
lake ind rail transportation, lis ocean
vessels. its by-product coke ovens, its
blast furnaces, Its open hearth and

built up. All this is generally conced-
ed to be to the advantage of the con-
sumer Nor does the steel corporation

the latter hold the scales. In this SIN

whether by the repeal of archaic
statutes or the enactment of modern
ones. II the antitrust laws keep the
farmers from endeavorlng scientifically
to integrate their industry while other
Industries find a way to meet modern
conditions without violating such stat
utes. then 1t would seem reasonable
to find a way for the farmers to meet
them under the same conditions. The
law should operate equally In fact. Re-
pairing the economic structure on one
side Is no injustice to the other side,
which Is In good repair.
We have Travelled long way from
the old conception of government as
merely defensive and policing agency |;
and regulatiye, corrective or equaliz-
Ing legislation, which apparently Is OF
a special nature, Is often Of the most
general beneficial consequences. Even
the First Congress passed a tariff act
that was ayowedly for the protection
of manufacturers; but a protective
tariff always has been defended as a
means Of promoting the general good
through particular approach; and
the statute books are filed with acts
for the benefit Of shipping, commerce,
and labor.

and continued prosperity why would
1t be wrong for the farmers to utilize
central agencies that would have SINH
lar effects on agricultural products?
Something like that is what they are
aiming at
Some farmers favored by regional
compactness and contiguity, such as the
observation-disclosures of California, al
ready have found a way legally to
merge and sell their products inte-
orally and in accordance with seasonal
and local demand, thus Improving
their position and rendering the con-
sumner a reliable service of ensured
quality, certain supply, and reasonable
and relatively steady prices. They
have not found Ii necessary to resort
to any special privilege, or to claim
any exemption under the antitrust
legislation of the state or nation. With
out removing local control, they have
built up a very efficient marketing
agency. The grain, cotton, and to-
bacco farmers, and the producers OF
hides and wool, because of their num-
bers and the vastness Of their regions,
and for other reasons, have found
Indignation more difficult task;
though there are now some thousands
OF farmers cooperative elevators,
warehouses, creameries, and other en-
terprises Of one sort and another, with
q turnover Of billion dollers year.
They are giving the farmers business
experience and training, and, so far
as they go, they meet the need of
honest weighing and fair grading; but
they do not meet the requirements OF
nationally adjusted marketing in any
large and fundamental way.
The next step, which will be pat
tern for other groups, Is now being
prepared by the grain-raisers through
the establishment of sales media which
shall handle grain separately or col
lectively, as the Individual farmer may
elect. 1t Is this step-the plan Of the
Committee Of Seventeen-which has
created so much opposition and Is
thought by some to be In conflict with
the antitrust laws. Though there is
now before congress measure de-
signed to clear up doubt on this point,
the grain-producers are not relying on
any immunity from antitrust legisla,
ton. They desire. and they are en-
titled, to coordinate their efforts just
as effectively as the large business in.
terests of the country have done. In
connection with the selling organiZa-
tions the United States Grain Growers

business methods.
It is essential that the farmers
should proceed gradually with these
plans. aud aim to avoid the error of
scrapping the existing marketing ma.
chlnery, which has been so laboriously
built up by long experience, before
they have tried and proved substi-

They must be careful not to become
enmesiled in their own reforms and
lose the perspective of their place In
the national system. They must guard
against fanatical devotion to new doc
trines, and should seek articulation
with the general economic system
rather than it's reckless destruction as
II relates to them.
