A. F. Of L. Endorses Plan
For Final Drive to End
Contract Prison Labor

Washington. The foundation of a
final drive to eliminate prison con-
/ tract labor in the United States was
laid when the A F.. of L. executive
council adopted report submitted as
program Of action by IL organiza-
tions called into conference by Presi-
dent Gompers.
The international unions represent
ed at the conference were: Miners,
mems garment workers, ladies' gar
ment workers, bookbinders, broom
makers, boot and shoe workers, tex
tile workers and machinists. Other
representatives were: A. F. of L.,
union label trades A. F. Of L., ma
tional committee on prisons and pris-
on labor and general federation of
women's clubs.
The cardinal points of the program
upon which the fight will be waged
are:
First-Adoption of the state and
states'-use system, calling for state
euse, but permitting interstate sale or
exchange of surplus products for state
use only.
cond-Development of prison in
dustry on high plane of efficiency,
safety and expert management.
Third-Rehabilitatio of prisoners
through payment for prison work,
such payment to go either to depend
ents or to the prisoned upon release,
the cost of maintenance Of the pris-
oner being deducted from the wages
earned by him in prison.
In adopting this report the A. F.
Of L. assumes the leading role in the
final battle against the contract sys-
tenn, and as it's principal weapon
adopts new theory in dealing with
the prison labor problem. The states
use system, as distinguished from the
state-use system, is advocated as pro-
viding a method of escape from the
contract system in states where there
has until now seemed no escape. Un-
der the states'-use system it becomes
possible for group of states to join
together by reciprocal agreement to
consume in state use the surplus out
put Of the state prisons in the group
of states. Under the state-use system

it is required that each state consume
the products Of it's own penal institu-
tions.
Under the states s'-use system each
state consumes it's own products up to
it's own necessities, only the surplus
being sent into other states for sale
to the states or in exchange between
the states. The system is now being
considered by several groups of states
and is advocated by all opponents of
the private contract system.
Officers of the A. F. of l.. will have
drafted model bill for presentation
to the various state legislatures, and
will inaugurate campaign of educa-
tion on the evils of convict labor.

OPPOSE REGISTRATION

Baltimore. - Secretary of Labor
Davis suggestion that immigrants be
registered, is opposed by the Balti-
more Federation of Labor The CEN
tral body declared that this scheme
"will lead to the introduction of a
passport system; that it will enable
employers to maintain an espionage,
spy and blacklist system throughout
the country; that it will be a source
of constant oppression, and that it
will lead to corruption and demorali-
zation."

BIG THEFTS ARE EASY

New York.-It is easy to steal $780,

Club that men in this city have Sc
cured goods to that amount on false
pretense. The extreme penalty they
must face is six months sentence.
Mr.. Redmond said that the federal

Jailed Molders Innocent
OF Any Share in Hotel
Explosion, Frey Declares

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Commenting
upon the Imprisonment of the entire
membership of Local Union No. 357,
International Molders' Union, at
Montpelier, Ind, as the result of an
explosion in that city on November
"a, John P. Frey, editor of the Mold
ers' Journal, today declared his belief
not only in the absolute innocence of
the imprisoned molders, but in the
apprehension and conviction of those
guilty of causing the explosion.
Mr.. Frey came to Washington to at
tend the meeting of the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor. The explosion in Mont
pelier occurred during strike of
molders against the introduction of
piece work by the Montpelier Manu-
featuring Company, and partially de-
stroyed hotel in which strike break
ers were housed.
"The members of our union were
imprisoned in the Jail at Hartford
City. With our counsel and our local
business agent | went over the entire
territory and investigated every
phase of the case Immediately after
the explosion" said Mr.. Frey
Believes Molders Not Involved
when l went to Montpelier, | had
no idea that it would be possible to
so quickly arrive at what I am con-
vinced is the truth about the situa-
ton. To be sure, the fact that
strike was on and that the explosion
took place in front of the hotel used
as a lodging house for strike break
ers naturally directed suspicion
against the members of the striking
union.
eve were able, however, to discover
evidence which we are confident will
result in fastening the crime upon
persons far removed from the Mold
ers' Union and having no interest of
any kind in the controversy in which
we have been involved.
"To reveal this evidence at this
time would undoubtedly make it i'm
possible to bring about the arrest
and conviction of those who are
guilty. Whether that will ever be
possible is matter that must, of
course, be demonstrated by further
performance.

to make an arrest in that case as
they were at the outset when the

efforts

bills have been voted by the grand
jury, and our members in Montpelier
are being called upon to face trial.
"It has been impossible to give
bond for the release of the accused
men because the total sum asked for
is in the neighborhood of one-quar-
ter million dollars. 1t will be neces-
sary for all of them to remain in
Jail until trials are had 1t is my
conviction, however, that the first
trial will Immediately demonstrate
the innocence of the entire union
