The Sign.

Watkins was walking down our main street when he saw a stranger coming toward him with outstretched hand and a smile of recog- milton on his face.
 "Well, hello there, old top'!' exclaimed the stranger gentleman, when they met. Tt cer- tainly has been long time since saw you But you haven't changed any. How are all the folks and everything.
 Watkins, however, was not impressed by the mans effusive greeting.
 That's a good line you have," he replied bitingly, "but you can't put it over on me. Now will you move on up the street, or shall call an officer?"
 The man, chagrined, walked away imme, diately. Watkins started on, then turned suddenly and called to the sharper:
 "Wait minute I want to ask you some thing"
 "What is it?" he demanded, suspicious.
 T always thought I was rather sophistl- cated," Watkins said, land l even thought l looked the part. But now don't know. Tell me, what was it about my appearance that made you think you could work that old game on me-"
 The sharper grinned.
 "Well," he replied, 1T saw you were wear ing rubbers." A, w, Mates.

.26 STATES PERMIT SOME FORM PRISON
 CONTRACT LABOR
Survey Made by U. s. Bureau Re- veaIs Three Systems That Com
 pete With Free Labor

Washington, May 3.-Interesting data revealing the extent to which convict labor continues to compete with free labor and honest manufac- turing enterprise is revealed i'll the April number of the Monthly Labor Review, issued by the Bureau of Sta tistics, U. s. Department of Labor. Three systems have this effect, classi- fled under headings of contract prison labor, the piece-price system and the public account system. Other systems which do not materially compete with free labor are the state-use system and the public works and ways system.
 State Tn which majority of the convicts are employed under the con tract system are Alabama, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Hampshire and West Virginia.
 The piece-price system engages a majority of the convicts in penitenti- aries in Connecticut, Nebraska, Okla homa, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Yer mont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
 The public account system prevails largely in Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis- sippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and Texas.
 How the System Operates.
 Under the contract system the state feeds, clothes, houses and guards the convicts. A contractor engages with Fthe state for the labor of the convicts, which is performed in or near the peni- tentiary, the contractor paying the state a stipulated amount per capita for the services of the convict, usually

 The complaint alleges that the re- spondents by cooperative means and me thods prevent wholesalers of coal from selling in the territory served by respon- dents direct to consumers or to any other persons not retail dealers in coal sua1i- fled under the designations of '1egiti- mate" or regular" dealers as defined by the respondent organization. It is also alleged that the purpose and effect of re- spondents' cooperative methods were to enable the local dealers in thei respec- tive communities to control the price of coal to the consumer without inter fer ence from outside competition.

AUTHORITIES STAND CHANGES:
 JAILED HOLDERS SECURE BAIL

1ieving that the great majority will never be brought to trial and that in stead their cases will be nolle pressed as the evidence against them is of the fiimsiest.
 As result of calmer afterthought the sentiment of antagonism shown toward the holders in Montpelier and Hartford City immediately after the explosion Is rapidly changing. Those who believed the accused men were guilty of the crime are now becoming convinced that they are innocent and that the authorities arrested the wrong men. The harsh treatment to which the men were subjected dur ing the first days of their arrest in Hartford City has also aroused no little sympathy for them, and the knowledge that the prosecuting attor- ney and the father of the judge who held preliminary hearings in the case have been serving as attorneys for the struck foundries in Montpelier is also having it's influence.

Washington, D. C., May 3-The Northwestern Traffic and Service Blu reau, its officers, directors and subscri- bers, and the Northwestern Publishing Company, both of Minneapolis, Minn., are named as respondents in a complaint issued by the Federal Trade Commission charging unfair methods of competition in the marketing of coal.
 The Service Bureau is a Minnesota Corporation the complaint states, and IS engaged in carrying out the purposes, objects and activities of the Northwes- tern Retail Coal Dealers Association, for which purpose the members of the association caused the Service Bureau to be incorporated in 1915. The associ- ation thereupon disbanded and the Ser vice Bureau took over its activities and functions. The subscribers of the Blu reau, nnbering approximately 1900 are in large part retail coal dealers doing bsiness in the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. A substantial portion of the Bureau membership are known as fine yards" that is, number of retail coal yards operated under one ownership or management. Of this class there are about 100 who operate retail coal yards i'll more than one state.
 The Northwestern Publishing Com pany publishes the trade journal known as The Coal Dealer. According to the complaint the subscribers to this journal are in large part retail coal dealers To- cated in the state covered by the Ser
