SOME FACTS ABOUT YOUR SHOES
Last Saturday evening Collis Lovely,
vice-president of the Boot and Shoe
Workers' Union, addressed a meeting
of workingnieu at Carpenters' Hall.
" he meeting was not generally known,
and as a result the audience was small,
lit t those who attended were given an
interesting talk on unionism and made
acquainted with some stern facts about
Vac prevalence of convict labor and
the horrible condition surrounding the
prison- contract system. It is to be
verretted that Mr. Lovely did not have
an opportunity to address every man
and woman in Lincoln. He knows
whereof he speaks, for he spent six
months as special agent of the depart
ment of labor of Misjouri Investigating
prison conditions, ostensibly for the
information o the bureau, but really
for the benefit of union aien and
women.
Mr. Lovely is a pleasing speaker,
whose earnestness is apparent all the
time. He is a conservative, avoiding
the spectacular and devoting himself
to basic principles, and as a result he
makes an effective appeal to all
thoughtful men and women. He be
gan by giving a brief history of the
struggles of the boot and shoe workers
to perfect as organization, and showed
that every effort was a failure until
1S99, wheu, profiting at last by former
mistakes, there was a convention of
thirty-one delegates that swept aside
all former constitutions and by-laws
and adopted new ones and then pro
ceeded on the theory that a union in
order to be successful must have its
dues high enough to maintain a con
stant agitation in favor of the organi
zation. Then he proceeded to tell the
results of his investigations of the con
tract labor system. The Industries
suffering most from convict competi
tion are the boot and shoe, garment,
troom and iron industries. Every
thing from cradles to coffins is made
by prison labor. But the boot and
shoe workere suffer most, one out of
every twenty pairs of shoes consumed
by the American people being made by
convicts, and these shoes are sold in
competition with the product of free
labor. There are 42,000 union boot
and shoe workers in the United States
and upwards of 5,000 convicts engaged
in the same work. The mere fact that
a particular brand of shoe bears the
union stamp is no sign that all the
shoes made by that firm are , union
made. On the contrary, practically ail
the large manufacturers of shoes are
also jobbers, and while they job their
otn shoes they also job the shoes if
other manufacturers who are engaged
in a smaller way. The contract shoes
will bear the name of the jobbing
manufacturers, but not all of them
will bear the union stamp. For in
stance: The Hamilton-Brown Shoe
ccmpany of St. Louis has four fac
tories in that city, one of which it!s
the union stamp and three of tlieu1
being manned by non-unionists. A
tirm which manufactures shoes that
bear the union stamp may also be job
bing the product of a convict factory',
and the convict made goods may bear
be same name as the union made
goods. The moral is, "Look for the
label and not the brand."
Mr. Lovely was severe in his de
nunciation of the common plan of
herding convicts together without dis
tinction.. An accidental criminal may
lie made the cellmate of a chronic
criminal, the result being that the
n.an who committed an accidental
crime emerges from the prison a full
fledged criminal in intent. He op
poses the idea of allowing more than
oris inmate in a cell.
Mr. Lovely then explained the New
York convict labor law and declared
that it was the. only rational solution
of the vexed question. By law en
grafted in the constitution the prdouct
of New York prison labor is not al-

lowed' to be contracted nor sold to the
general public in competition with
free labor. It is used exclusively in
furnishing the supplies for the free
state institutions. As a result last
year -the convicts of New York manu
factured for the state institutions
$800,000 worth of goods. .Every shirt,
every suit, every chair, desk, table, tub
and all the iron work for the institu
tions were made by the prisoners, and
not a dollar's worth sold on the open
market in competition with free labor.
He closed with an- earnest plea to
union men to discard petty jealousies
and to stand together as one man for
the union label. He was frequently
interrupted by applause, and at the
conclusion of his talk was warmly
thanked by those present for his splen
did advocacy of unionism. The Wage
worker hopes soon to announce a re
turn visit from Mr. Lovely and trust.j
that when he does return he will have
the privilege of talking to a thousand
or more Lincoln citizens.

made voluntarily by the railroad. D.

"It's much easier to talk than to.

had monopolized the conversation for
two hours.
"I don't know," replied the girl,
