VICIOUS LABOR
SYSTEM FORCED
ON PRISONERS

Chattanooga. Tenn, March 12-The
evils Of the convict-eontract system
were explained by David Hanly, leg
islative chairman of the Tennessee
federation Of labor, at a meeting OF
trade unionists in this city.
Under the piece-price system winch
is in force in this state, the contrac-
tor pays the state an agreed price Tor
work done on each article by the con
victs. The state furnishes the build
ing. light. heat mower and drayage,
feeds, clothes and houses the prison
ers and maintains guards and other
employees. The contractor supplies
his raw material. The prison Officials
are supposed to set the task, and con
picts are whi~ned with a big strap for
failure TO perform this task.
THE piece price system is practi.
caly only a disguise for the contract
system" Mr. Hanly said at has
usually been adoDted as reform
from the contract system. Theoretl-

indianapolis, Ind, March 12.-Pros-
poets for good year among the
building trades unions is indicated,
and the settlement of several disputes
and the adjudication of wage rates
has further smoothed the way. Plas-
terers have reached an amicable
agreement with employers on a re-
newal of the wage scale Of 1924 OF
S1.50 an hour.
The dispute between the sheet metal
workers and other craftsmen regard
ing the placing of iron window and
door frames has been settled by agree
ment to the allotment of the work 10
the sheet metal men. >,
A wage controversy affecting lndi-
annapolis electrical workers has been
amicably adjusted. Journeymen and
wire men have agreed to last year 5
wage scale. Inside shop men and hN-
ture hangers have been granted an
increase from SO TO 90 cents an hour

PENSION LAW
LIBERALIZED
BY CONGRESS

Washing on, March 12.-Congress
has increased maximum annual pay
meutS under the federal retirement
Law from S720 to $1,000. Other pay
ments are increased proportionately.
The optional age at which certain
government employees may retire Is
changed from 90 years to 62 years.
la,s applies to the postal group and
m'cuanicS. Formerly these workers
could retire at 90 years. Now they
may retire at 62 years.
tae new law increases the workers
contribution to the fund from 212 per
cen, to 3l2 per cent of their wages.
The retirement law has been IN
operation since August, 1920, and has
eoniounded every opponent by its
success. Today the fund totals more
than S40000,000, without any con-
u"ation by the government, as pro
weed by law.
One feature of the law is that the
government shall deduct the required
percentage from each employees wage.
.l6ls 'check-oif" has been overlooked
by editors and business men who de-
6iouuce the United Mine Workers Of
America for insisting on the same
piscJce in unionized coal fields.

EMERALD ISLE

b. International Labor News Service
Washington, d. c., March 12.-~
Irish lace Is not necessarily from
Ireland II may come from China ana
in fact the Federal Trade Commission
charges that Irish lace sold by s.x
New York lace concerns is actually
procured in the erStwhile Celectial
Kingdom.
Complaints of unfair competition
have been made against the New York
concerns, which are named as follows.
Alfred kohlberg. Inc; W. Riscallah
g. Co.; A. d. Sutton d Sons; Nanyang
Brothers, Inc; n. b. Bardwil q Co,
and Liam q Naraback. The six deal
ers import lace from China and sell
to the manufacturers Of garments
throughout the United States.
The complaints allege that the lace
imported from China by the New
York dealers which closely resembles
Irish lace in pattern, design and gen.
eral appearance, is inferior In qualify
and value, and has for many years
been, and now is sold at prices much
less than the prices received fer
genuine Irish lace. The Chinese lace,
il is further alleged, is designated in
the dealers price lists, circulars, In.
voices, and other trade literature, ami
offered for sale and sold under trade
names which contain the word Irish.
This practice, the citation states,
places in the hands of respondents
vendees the means of committing a
fraud upon retail dealers and the
consuming public, and, 1T is alleged,
causes a substantial number of trades
men and consumers to purchase the
lace products in the mistaken belief
that if is of Irish origin.

HIGHWAY HEADS
ANNOUNCE POLICY
ON NEW ROADS

c. r. Miller, Director Of the De
partment Of Public Works ami Build
ings, and Frank 7. Sheets, Chief
Highway Engineer, today issued the
following statement regarding the
location and securing of right of way
ON the new bond ssue routes.
MANY communities are beseechinR
the Department for a decision as to
the location of the 500, 100000 bond
issue routes and forwarding petitions
accompanied by right of way dediea-
tions covering various locations IN
which they are interested. Ihe ne"
bond issue law provides that all con
tracts for the completion of construc.
ton of the routes in the FIRST bond
issue system shall be awarded before
any contracts are awarded on the new
routes. In view Of this provision the
Department l. making every effort 10

ton of location Of any routes under

and surveys and plans are made are
Before final decisions as to loca-
tions are made, the Department, in
with its past policies will
hold public hearings at which all the
of the various possible
locations will be heard. Stenographlc
records Of the hearings will be made
and we will study carefully the infor-
nation thus obtained, and the engin-
eering data collected on the various
routes, after which a final decision
will be made as to location with a
view of giving the greatest benefit To-
the greatest number of people, bearing
in mind minimum distance TO build
and travel and minimum cost.
"No community will lose any rights
by delaying conferences on the route
outlined in the new bond issue law
and we do not see any advantage Of
coming to Springfield at
this time in an effort TO locate these
roads in advance of the public hear
ngs we will hold in the communities
where those roads are located.

Western white pine iE not always

that five Western lumber companies
ate advertising and selling western

Western white pine,
The companies named 10y the Trade

Der Co. Deer Park, WASH SheVlinv

The complaints say that since
Colonial days white pine has been n
great and constant demand by con.
tractors. builders and the purchasing
public because Of It's ease Of working
and remarkable endurance aE a stfues
tural wood, especially for outside use
and that II has always commanded
and now commands substantially
higher price than yellow or soft pine.
The complaints state further that
because of the slose resemblance be
tween western yellow pine and west
crn white pine only an expert can dis
tinguish between the two. and that
when the respondent companies mar.
keted yellow or soft pine under the
designation Of western white pine
many lumber dealers and the pufchaEs
ing public were caused 30 purchase the
same In the belief that the lumber ~as
white pine manufactured from the
tree "Pinus Strobus."
Under the law whenever the com.
mission has reason to believe that an
unfair method Of competition has been
used aud 1t shall nppear TO the com
mission that a preceding by IT IN re
spect thereof would be Of interest 10

However the question whether OF not
such method has been used Is not
passed upon by the commission until
after respondents have had 30 day IN
