INDUSTRY STILL
GAINING, N. Y. RE-
PORT INDICATES

By International Labor News Service
Albany, N. Y, Feb. 1S.-The total
volume of factory employment in New
York State was slightly lower in Jan
uary than in December. a small loss
is to be expected at this time as the
close of the year and inventories cause
a temporary slackening i'm production
but the decrease this month included
important losses that are not entirely
seasonal. The forward movement that
started in the fall is still proceeding
slowly.
This statement was issued by In
dustrial Commissioner James A. Ham,
iiton. 1t is based on reports from a
representative list of manufacturers
who employ half a million workers or
about 40 per cent of the factory work
ers of the State.
Employment in the railroad equip
ment factories suffered a definite set
back as a couple of thousand workers
were released in January after the
Improvement in December. Declines
in building material were more Sc
we're than usual at this season.
The significant thing in this months
reports was the ifregu-
larlty in the individual firms. Appar-
EMILY now the tendency up or down is
not definitely fixed for several of the
industries and individual firms are GO
ing in each direction. This was par
ticularly true in the metals and tex
tiles, which have been moving upward
in recent months.

PRISON LABOR
IS SUBSIDIZED
INDU ) 7 r Y
(By Publicity Department. United

my PUBLICITY Department. Liitcu
Garment Workers Of America)
Prison labor for private profit i.
the most layishly tax-subsidized in
dustTy in the United States. Politi'
clans have dealt generously with many
great industrial organizations, but q
none have they shown such tender
paternal love as TO the prison labor
trust.
By some strange process Of reason
inr the American people seem to nave
arrived at the conclusion that the men
who exploit convict labor perform
some great social service, and there
by have earned unusual rewards
These willy gents have not only been
able to pile uD enormous fortunes by
prison labor contracts, but they have
posed as public benefactors, philan-
thropists and model citizens. They
have headed religious, social service
and prison reform organizations and
gathered to themselves both wealth
and respectability.
The favored gentlemen who operate
eheir factories in prisons are present
ed by the taxpayers with rent, heat
light, drayage, power, supervision OF
working force, and labor, fed. housed
clothed and enslaved for which they
pay less than One-siXth the going
wage in a given industry.
Then, TO crown our paternalistiC
generosity, the convict labor exploit
efs, or their private employees, are
given absolute and despotic control Of
the discipline of the prisons where
they operate, and they are permitted
to work the conyicts under the vicious
task" system. The task" demanded
in every instance is greater pro
duction than free workers achieve
Almost universally the prison labor
contractors foreman has the deter
mining power in the administration OF
punishments, and nine-tenths of all
punishments administered TO prison
ers are for failure to make the task,
and not for bad behavior.
No other industry has ever succeed
ed in inducing the taxpayers to pay
all the overhead, and the state to pro
vide slave labor tt fraction of the
maintenance cost. Yet this is exactly
what the prison labor contractors have
put over on the American people.
These conditions would not exist 30
days if the taxpayers refused 70
rqtronize convict labor contractors,
and if every member of organized
labor and every other decent-minded
citizen demanded the union label on
their purchases.
Don't waste your breath cussing the
politicians and prison labor contrac-
tors.
Stop buying prison-made goods!

STREET CAR MEN
IN SAN FRANCISCO
MAY GET RAISE

By International Labor News Service
San Francisco, Feb. l0.--An in
crease in wages of municipal carmen
of this city from $40 to S6.40 per
day is being considered by the Board
of Supervisors, who have indicated a
willingness to grant the wage in
crease.
The platform men of the San Fran
cisco Municipal Street Railways are
the highest paid street car men in the
country. They also have the eight
hour day and two weeks vacation
with full pay each year and are eligi-
BILE to retirement on pension. They
are all union men.
San Francisco is one of the few
cities that still have a fve-cent car
fare, and with the high wages and
good working conditions enjoyed by
the employees, the Municipal Street
Railways of this city is making a net
profit of more than $4,000 per month.
