have the entire control and supervis-
ion of the convicts. and yet, at the
same time. the coal companies will be

The convlcts both while at work
and at rest are under the supervision
and control of the state, because at
each mine a deputy warden, an en-
ploye of the state, skilled and trained
in mining coal accompanies convicts
to their working place in the mines
and remains with them until the
days work is over. He visits the
various working places, inspects the
conditions under which the Conyicts
are worked, correcting any condition

1T is doubtful whether the present
system of working the convicts in
coal mines can rightly be termed the

these contracts, but this is done for

1T is significant to note that In
none of the criticisms to which my
attention has been called has there
been any complaint that any employee
of the coal companies has mstreated
any convict. Whatever punishment
alleged to have been imposed upon
the convicts has been at the hands
of those employed by the state, and
all alleged acts of cruelty, whether
true or not have been attributed to
those employed by the state and not
to any employee of the coal companies.
Such latter employees do not have the
right to administer punishment in any
form whatsoever. The closest super

state is exercised by the board of

ASHBURN 70 HEAR
WARRIOR CASE AT
TUTWILERMONDAY
Decision On Port Amendment
Adds Zest To Fight
Beinq Made

Heartened by the supreme court de-
cision Saturday declaring the Mobile
port amendment valid, delegations
from Cordova, Demopolis, Tuscaloosa
and Mobile will attend the Warrior
river conference called by Col. 7. @.
Ashburn, chief of the inland water
ways service of the war department,
in Birmingham Monday.
The port cities look to Mobile as
the common gateway and see their
development in increase OF Warrior
port development.
Colonel Asburn left Washington
at 9;35 o'clock Saturday night and
will reach Birmingham Sunday. He
win receive the delegations at the
Tutwiler hotel. Theodore Brent, fed
eral manager of the Mississfppi-War-
rior lines, is expected to send a rep
resentative, according to information
from The Age-Herald's Washington
bureau. Mr.. Brent is not expected to
attend. Representatives John Nc
Duffie of the First district and Will
liam b. Oliver OF the Sixth district
are expected to be present at the
conference.
WV ShScA SOhnlhs
Two distinct cases will be presented
to Colonel Ashburn. he is informed
Mobile will give its reason for in
sisting that 1t be granted as low a
rate on grain from the Mississippi
valley as New Orleans and will cite
proof in its possession to sustain its
charge that Mr.. Brent has discrim-
mated against it in favor of New Or.
leans. Mobile, 1t is understood. will
be able to demonstrate to Colonel
Ashburn that its opposition to the
suggestion that New Orleans be given
as low a rate as Mobile on Birming-
ham Iron and Steel is not inconsistent
with its effort to acquire the New
Orleans rate on grain shipments from
the west. The other important case
to be aired will be that involving the
embargo placed by the government
on parcel freight consigned to the
intermediate points Of Cordovar Tus-
caloosa and Demopolis.
According to Colonel Ashburn, 1t
was not the plan of the government
to make that embargo permanent
and the Indications are that it Will be
lifted in time judged by him reason
able. Despite the embargo, business
continues good, according to his re-
ports. and the outlook as whole,
he states. is propitious.- 1t is known,
however that he feels that hasty
railroads by Chambers of Commerce
anxious to acquire an equitable di
vision OF revenue accruing from
Joint rail and water hauls would be
unfortunate. 1t is indicated that he
believes that the situation as 1t Is
now should not be disturbed unless
it be demonstrated that the South
ern railway is not serious In It's in
timation that 1t would be willing
voluntarily to make terms.
Colonel Ashburn declared before
his departure that he believed the
meeting in Alabama would serve to
clear up the mist of misunderstand-
ing and the murk Of controversy He
declared, also, that he believed all
parties would get together amicably
for the good of the issue at stake
and that the individuals who expecr
to stand on the side-lines and witness
n fight would be disappointed.
