General Federation of Women's Club Joins National Field in Effort to Check Prisoner Ex- plortation Garment Manufac- turers Voice Protest.
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., June 2o.-The seriousness of the prison labor prob lem, especially the rapidity with which the prison labor trust has ex- tended its operations during the last few months, brought the directors of the International Association of Gar ment Manufacturers together in New York on June 20 to lay plans for pro tecting their industry from the ruin ous competition of the prison labor exploiters. The program discussed calls for cancellation of existing pris- on labor contracts and the prevention of other prison labor contracts with states.
 Representatives of the National Committee on Prisons and Prison La bor informed the directors that they believed not one of the five state gov ernments which are now seriously considering signing contracts with the Sterling and Reliance companies would consider entering into those contracts if they could:
 irst, be shown how prohtably to employ their prisoners 1n making commodities for their own needs and the needs of other states; and,
 SeCOnQ, De IHdue 10 Ieel that lHlelll- gent public opinion in their own states demanded that the vicious sys- tenn of prison contract labor in any guise be done away with.
 It is believed that the garment manufacturers will act immediately along these lines.
 Figures Show Great Menace of Old
 System.
 At the convention in Chicago re- gently of the International Associa- ton of Garment Manufacturers, the prison labor problem was one of the principal topics of discussion. The industry was told that of the approx imately 67,ooo prisoners in the vari- ous prisons and reformatories con- ducted by the different states, I8,43o were, engaged in what are known as "shop trades" the balance of 43,56I including those sick and those em- ployed on state roads and farms and in the maintenance of the institutions.

Prison Labor Trust Meets New Opposition
 As~Result of Growth

Of the Io,438 prisoners engaged in shop trades, Io,74o were employed in industries under contract and pub lie account systems, whereby the product of the industries was dis posed of in the open market in com petition with the product of free la Dor, and 7,6oo were employed in in- dustries under the "state use" system, whereby the product of the industries was disposed of to meet the needs of the states themselves.
 Of the Io,74o prisoners whose product was controlled by the prison labor trust, 5.74o, or s per cent, are employed in the manufacture of work shirts and overalls This unfair com petition IS driving free manufacturers of work shirts and overalls out of business and making 1t impo ossib1e for workmen employed to improve their economic condition.
 Women Urge State Bodies to Join
 Fight.
 Of even greater interest from the public standpoint Is the action of the Council of the Federation of Wom- ems Clubs in passing a resolution against the contract prison labor sys- tenn at its recent meeting at Atlanta, Georgia The General Federation of Women's Clubs and state federations affiliated include 2,5oo,ooo members. The adoption of the resolution is an intimation to state federations that the principles embodied in the reso- lution meet the best judgment of the council, and intimates to state fedora tions that they should work to bring about the adoption of the principles of the resolution in their state. The resolution follows:
 "Whereas, After years of study, the General Federation of Women's Clubs Is convinced that the evils Of the prison system can be traced to prohteering on the prisoners by busi- ness interests, and
 "Whereas, All returns from the la Dor of prisoner belong by right to the tate and to the prisoner Be it
 Resolved, That the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs approve the principle of employing prisoners in the production of commodities for consumption in state institutions and departments, and in public works un- der state control and insists on whole some living and working Conditions for all prisoners"

MINERS TRIAL FINANCED
 BY ANTI-UNION COAL MEN

Lewisburg, w. Va, June 2o.-This little town is the third location of the court attack of anti-union coal own CTS against organized mine workers.
 Again are Frank Keeney, Fred Mooney and William Blizzard, off cers of the United Mine Workers, facing charges that they were acces- sories before the fact in the murder of a deputy sheriff, who was killed in 1921 at the time the miners march ed into Logan county.
 The trials were removed from Lo- gan county to Charles Town, then to Greenbrier county, and from there to this place. As usual, the Logan coun- ty coal operators association is f. nancing the trials This is done by cashing the warrants issued against the sheriff of Logan county. That county is supposed to bear the ex- pense of the trials.

George Seldes, a friend and one time co-worker of mine, has just heaved a great sigh of relief on get ting out of Moscow He has been in Moscow as correspondent for the Chicago Tribune The Tribune ord cred him to leave because 1t got tired of receiving only what the bolshevik censors cared to pass. -r.
 Seldes confirmed the wisdom of the order in most generous measure. This man is no conservative. He's a thorough liberal and until the nuts spoiled the good word he might have been called radical
 This is what Seldes says in letter to one of the editors of the Tribune.
 "I am sending you some of the telegrams which the Bolshevist cen sor cut or suppressed, They certain 1y are a fine exhibit A of censor ship.
 q must tell you how happy I am to be out of Moscow. 1 rather liked the idea of going back after the trip to Paris in January, but from the first day of my return I felt that things should change. Eventually when there were internal and inter national troubles the chance came to see the real, vicious fact of Bolshe vism. I did not, however, get scared, or the crazy idea of being 'shadowed'

DUTY TO FIGHT EVIL, FORCE
 SAYS RED CENSOR VICTIM
 DEPARTING FROM SOVIET LAND

I at every step, as did But it was bad enough.
 Believe me, if Bo1shevism ever comes to America nothing would please. me more than a nice corner on roof overlooking two main streets and nice, large machine gun and unlimited belts of ammunition 'I am convinced more than ever that Russian Bolshevism will never be satisfied until 1t carries world revolu- ton to other countries, but the coun- try they want most Is America. I certainly believe 1t Is the duty of every man who cares the least bit for his own. liberty, or for the most fundamental human rights, to fight the greatest force today of anti-civ- ilization.J
 One by one sthe correspondent who care anything for their reputa- tions for integrity are leaving the red capital, unable to tell the truth from that point. .a--a.
 It Is not now the time for the tell ing, but the time will come when the full story of the operation of news channels between Moscow and Amer iea will be good for telling and then there will be something worth hear ing.
 Meanwhile it is useless to look for the full truth under Moscow date lines.

Pennsylvania railroad, was speaking the other day at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on good government, and the dangers of Reds" warning them to beware of the candidates they choose for politi- cal office ,and just a day or so later we read where President Harding at another meeting, takes a slap at the Pennsylvania railroad and others, for defying the government orders, and showing among other things in his speech where the great General w. w. Atterbury of the Pennsylvania double crossed him, in the proposed settlement of the shopmen's strike. What next?
 All evidence indicates that the New Haven road IS getting worse in every way. It was thought for some time that the good weather and with all the work that IS contracted out, and the I,5oo more men they have that at least they would improve little insofar as the equipment is con- cerned, but the equi pment is even worse than it was in the winter months. There have been more wrecks this past three months than at any other period since the incep- ton of the strike, and indeed there has never been anything like it in the history of the road.
 The anniversary of the strike Is close at hand, and from all reports 1t will be we'll celebrated at various points on the road from Boston to New York. Let all members turn out to these celebrations and show the public and the management that we are still on the job, and with plenty of fight left in us, even though 1t should go for another year.
 Reports from all points show that our members are all holding firm, even though the officials are going around to them, trying to induce them to make scabs of themselves.

 Boston, June 29-The State Commis- sion on Necessities, in a report on the rent situation in Lawrence, makes a slash ing attack on profteering landlords in that city.
 The Commission declares that "un- scrupu1ous and greedy landlords" of Lawrence have been exploiting foreign born mill workers by exacting rents on the basis of increases in wages without and regard to assessed values or cost of operation.
 The Commission adds there was no justification for recent rent increases and it recommends that all the power of city government be used and the pressure of public opinion brought to bear to check this tendency It also recommends that rent and housing commission be appointed in Lawrence.

NEW HAVEN ROAD CANNOT
 GET ENGINES WITHOUT SPOT CASH, SAYS BULLETIN TO STRIKERS

618 in April, 1922 In the first four
 months of 1923 this equipment rent debit was $2,557,7oo, in contrast to
 only $32I.Io5 in the corresponding period (before the shopmen's strike) last year.
 The "hard boiled" executives of the New Haven are still keeping up their
 Rule and Ruin policy in keeping their efficient shopmen locked out,
 and through this policy slaughtering the finances of the road
 In the above item alone, the cost is $2,236,685 more than it was in the
 same period of 1922. This would not have been the case if the manage ment had settled their differences and made peace with their locked-out
 shopmen, which they will ultimately ! have to do, in order to eventually save the road from the auction block, as there is no other excuse for the defective and broken down equip the shops and engine houses are un- able to properly prepare this equip ment for service, and in further con
 sideration of the defective equipment,
 the following IS further evidence of it:
 Que in the opinion of railroad
 men, the New Haven train leaving Boston for Mattapan Square at 7:24, June 'Io, jumped the rails near Capen street, inJuring the engineer and
 shaking up several passengers. The
 engine turned over on it's side, the
 tender was completely reversed, and
 the first three coaches dragged off tn irons"
 The engineer had a narrow escape from death, his right arm was badly bruised and cut
 The Queen of the Long Island Sound" a steamship of the New Ha- ven railroad corporation, is to be
 cremated, or probably cremated by
 this time, to get her 5000 tons of metal and contractors say it will cost $25 ,ooo to salvage this metal, but even at that the New Haven road officials believe that they were justi- fled in their refusal of an offer of | $5o,ooo cash for the boat as she stood some years ago.
 Fall River.-New Haven railroad sells Hammock Colony. For many years this has been the home of a
 summer colony of between So and 90 cottages, but now has been sold to a large mill corporation at Fall River.
 Evidently the auctioneers are busy
 and the bankers have gone on a va
 cation, leaving the sign out "No more credit"
 Lobbyists Cost New Haven Road l $7,ooo,-This amount filed at state house, Boston, and supposed to be in
 cured through legislative bills af- fecting the road. No returns at hand
 for lobbying at Providence, Hartford
 or Albany, no doubt when 1t is all
 summed up it will be a nice little
 item. Too bad the shopmen couldn't
 have spent a few thousands lobbying
 at Hartford, and the state house at Boston!
 | According to reports at this office
 there have been about 300 men re-
 signed and discharged during the past
 week on the New Haven. Another
 costly item this turnover of labor. ] Elisha Lee, vice president of the
