tary of Labor Doak has been in
vited to speak, will be held Sat
urday night at the Ashton Heights
Women's Club. The of con-
vict labor in construction of the
Lee Boulevard will be assailed.
The meeting was called after
conference of labor leaders of the
county at the home of Thomas r.
Mechem last night, and resulted
from the announcement that the
State Highway Department would
not change its plan of using con-
vict instead of free labor despite
widespread objection to the &C
ton.
Work Starts Soon
Meanwhile, IL carloads of build
ing material to be used in con-
struction of the convict camp
were unloaded at Glen Carlyn,
where the camp is to be located,
and Maj. L. C. Jones, superln-
tendant of State prison camps,
announced that work would begin
at once upon the camp.
A further blow was given the
efforts of labo- leaders to abolish
use of convicts on the road con
struction by the endorsement of
H. G.. Shirley's letter by the Arl-
ington Chamber of Commerce.
Convicts to Do Work
In his letter, Mr.. Shirley, who
is chairman of the State Highway
Commission. stated that mas
much as the road was not an
emergency measure, convict labor
would be used as usual.
In it's endorsement of this let
ter, the Chamber of Commerce
explained that Arlington was not
one of the counties hard hit by
the drought and the use of con-
vict labor and the road would not
materially affect the labor situa-
ton.

must, in order TO compete with
Canadfan-made goods, erect plants

british subject put to work by
American capital in Canada means
an idle worker in the United States.
Our country has grown rich

orr eoods either free or at a duty

ahie for rs TO sell our products

IN the automobile business. have
the manufacturers Of the United

Our imports from Canada have

Q seek her needs in the United

Now Canada passes tariff inimical

The lesson to be learned, obvious
