EVILS OF CONVICT LABOR, f
One of the iniquities of the
present convict labor system
is the spreading of disease, par
ticularly tuberculosis, among all
classes of society. Organized
labor has for years waged a
rigorous and unceasing fight
against this pernicious system,
and lately the contest has been
augmented by the assistance of
the national committee on pris
on labor. While the organiza
tion has many supporters out
side the ranks of the labor
movement, the executive com
mittee Is largely composed of
officers of the different unions
whose members are the most
seriously affected by the manu
facture of prison made goods.
The best way for the individual
to assist in the movement is to
demand the union label on every
thing purchased.
