A THEORETICAL BUGABOO

Dow, Jones and Company, high financial authority, takes the position that it will require much time for the elimination of the twelve-hour day in the steel industry on account of the difficulty in securing men sufficient to maintain eight-hour operations. Specific attention is called to the need of 30,000 additional men by the Steel Corporation and of 30,000 more by

On Side of Humanity

IIulterSVlIIe Dem Ocfat
 A society has been organized in Birmingham for the purpose of abolishing the present method of leasing convicts to corporations and voluminous literature is sent us to enlist us in the fight for abolition. Without all the facts on both sides the most we can say is that our sympathy is all on the side of humanity, and financial re- turns should not be the sole aim of the state when inflicting ser vitude.

Georgia Early Abolished Leasing


 To the Editor of The Age Herald: Your esteemed paper, The Age Herald, of July IT. 1923, pub | lished an article in the Peoples Forum" (Tampa Tribune). in part as follows: Since Florida abol- ished the convict lease system. Alabama Is one of the two re- maining states which continue the system, the other being Georgia" This is an error which I feel sure you will be glad to correct, since Georgia Is innocent of the charge, having abolished the system a decade or more ago. For the most part, Georgia employs a majority of her convicts in the construc- tion and maintenance of highways and public roads which 1t is a pleasure for the tourist to travel, and by utilizing the labor of her unfortunates thus a genuine and lasting commercial asset Is &C., cruing to that state which will enrich her for all time to come. It is my understanding that such Georgia counties as do not care for their quota of convicts for puDllc hlgnWay construction or maintenance may allot them to other counties, but no individual, trust, or corporation may coin the blood of her children into gold for private gain. Yes, I'm from Georgia" and as a "boy orator" had the pleasure of agitating the abolition of the lease system in Georgia. Now, as a man and citizen of Alabama. my convictions are irreconcilable to individual administration of the states re- responsibilities for private gain. The best interests of the whole state demand the abolition of this unthinkable commercialism. The pride of the South and the honor of the state demand it. Let's bump" 1t off. J. B. CHUPP. Birmingham. Ala. July IS, 1923.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-20

There is already good reason to be- lieve that members of the Alabama legislature who took the offensive against abolition of the convict lease system will have to assume the de- fensive when they undertake to ex- plain to the voters in the next legis. lative campaign.
