Significance of Convict Labor Decision

The possibility of using the principle
laid down by the United States Supreme
Court in its decision u%pholding the CON
stitutiondlitY Of the Ashurst-Sumners pris-
on labor oct to prevent the exploitation
of children in industry is suggested by
William Green, president OF the Ameri-
con Federation of Labor, in q statement
On the significance Of the decision.
The Supreme Court held that when q
State hos enacted q valid law prohibiting
the sole on the open market OF prison
mode goods, the United States Congress
hos the constitutional right to prohibit the
shipment of prison-made goods from
other States into such q State. With re-
gdrd to the application OF this principle
10 the interstate shipment OF products in
whose manufacture the labor Of children
is used, Mr.. Green said:
The unanimous decision Of the SUI
preme Court sustaining the vdliditY OF the
Ashurst-Sumners Act, which bdrs the
shipment of prison-mdde goods into
States where the manufacture Qnd sole
Of convict-mdde goods in competition
with those manufactured by free labor
is forbidden by state statute, is hearten-
ing to Labor. Because the American
Federation Of Labor sponsored the Ash
urst-Sumners Act. its officers and mem
bers view the decision with q feeling OF
deep satisfaction.
The implication involved in the deci-
sion is very important. Even q superb
cial study Of it j~ustifies the conclusion that
the shipment dnd sole Of goods manu-
factured by child labor in stdtes where
the employment Of children is prohibited
by statute con be effectively barred.
While the American Federation OF Labor
will continue to press for the adoption OF
the Child Labor Amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States. it will spon-
sor and support legislation designed to
Immediately prevent the employment OF
children and the exploitation OF child
labor in industry.
1T is Clearly evident that the decision
Of the Supreme Court points the WdY
through which Labor con effectively deal
with the evils Of convict dnd child labor
competition.

Sometimes casual remark reveals q

A recent expression Of feeling to Mrs.

sion for peace be nobler thdn thdt? Here

They were growing up in q world
gripped by q depression which wds ledv-
ing in its woke strdngled hopes and
blasted lives.
Yet they dared to dreom dreams. for
themselves. for homes and families yet
to be. With the insight that is sometimes
keener among women thdn among men
they saw q greater menace thun q de-
preston blocking the road to their hdppi-
neSS-WOT!
We do not won't another wdr 10 take

Child Labor 1887

Child labor more than doubled in the
last half Of 1885 and in 1886. according
TO federal reports. The 1880 census re-
ported that 6 per cent Of children from 7
to Is years old were prevented from at
tending school. Child labor increased
most in states whose laws give least pro-
lection to children.
Adults. employed and unemployed.
are obliged to compete with children
who work when they should be in school
or playground.
States which protect their children by
ldw and enforcement are obliged to com
pete in the goods market with products
of cheap child labor in other states.
The federal child labor amendment
aims to establish q uniform minimum for
all children. Some ore now protected by
state laws. Others ere helpless victims.
The Washington Pathfinder says. jan.
9. 1887, Childhood is q shortlived thing.
It should be q play hour instead Of q
work hour. 1t should not be exploited
in q civilized age"
