State Convicts Build
California Highways
for 40 Cents a Day

MIDDLETON, Conn, August z. -
3 work is to be prosecuted on the new
automobile highway from Crescent
City north. California state convicts
will furnish the man power. The high
way commission has decided that pris-
on labor is the most economical that
can be employed.
California overlords have always
looked at convict labor as a juicy
morsel. Their greedy desires have
been thwarted In the past by opposi-
ton of labor unions. But now, with
Governor Friend W. Richardson in
power, they are getting what they or
der.
Richardson favors economy to save
the taxpayers money. His thrift is
for the sole benefit of the taxpayers.
The working class is not considered
as part of his economic system ex-
cepting for the purpose of exploita-
ton.
After becoming governor, Richard
SSA@ AAoAotON bhob inc COol VI ludluldlu-
ing convicts be reduced. That cost
has been cut down so that it ranges
between S5 and 40 cents per day per
convict.
Now he Is determined that the con-
vict 40-cent-a-day labor will build the
highways, displacing free labor at
$500 day, minimum. With an $780,
100000 highway program ON hand, the
economy to be accomplished by con-
vict labor will be immense and ex-
tremely gratifying to the taxpayers.
Supply of labor from the prisons
affords subject for thought by the
California aristocrats. There are not
prisoners enough to build the high
ways without employing free labor as
well. But that difficulty can be elm
mated in time. With the displace-
ment Of free labor by convict more
prisoners will be available.
Eventually California may have Just
two classes socially, namely aristo-
Gratis, moving only in automobiles
when they have 20 move and convict
workers serving them.

miners. The scales may go wrong
at any time, and it then becomes the
duty of the check weighman to see
that they are fixed to weigh properly.
The miners know what that means
to them. They can look back to the
days when no check weighman was in
the tipple, when they were robbed
right and left by crooked weigh bosses
and had no recourse. u
Even today it is hard to get miner
with all the qualifications necessary
to make a good check weighman.
When the miners do get good one,
they feel themselves fortunate indeed,
and do their utmost to keep him on
the job. Joe Loda Is one of the good
ones, and very progressive miner.)
Fights Boss,for Miners.
Joe caught the company weight boss
stealing coal from the miners (short
weighing them) and instantly jumped
to the coal diggers' defense, and a
fight ensued between them on the
mine top.
The miners we're jubilant as they
lad right 10 be at Lola catching the
thief and showed their appreciation
in many ways.
Did Harrington feel glad that our
check weighman was successful in
catching the thief? Did he congratu-
late him? He'll, nc
Farrington's drunken henchman,
Joker Young, went out to the mine
with Dan Clark, the company COM
missioner, and discharged Loda for
fighting. And who do you think was
appointed in his place? No other
than Farrington's friend, the sewer rat
Egan.
No Peace Without VIctoryI
Is 1t any wonder that the Progress
sive Miners Committee claim there
can never be peace in our union as
long as such takers hold Office in our
district? Thompson, Watt and Parry,
ably supported by such fighters for
our union as Loda, are the victims for
the moment of the rattlers, and when
we consider the rising tide Of revolt
spreading over the district and the
desperation of the takers, we are JUS
titled in stating that victory for the
progressives is in our reach.
In view of the last district election
steals, ask you miners if an investi-
cation of the last district election is
necessary? Are you aware that thru
out the whole of the state the machine
has duplicated the Thompson, Watt
and Parry deal?
Call for Progressive Leaders.
Is it any wonder the miners are re
questing Thompson, Watt and Parry

minutes the whistles were exchanged,

common among the Eskimos. Gpen
polygamy among them has become
rare. due to the activities Of the mis-
sionaries and coastguard. But whole
