A bill introduced in the New York
Legislature, known as the textile
ing unjustly assailed by the American
Federation of Labor, and defend them.
He declares he will do this in the
interest of "fair play and exact Jus
tice." The output of the Maryland and oth
er penitentiaries has been one of the
most serious obstacles to the growth
of the local trade unions of the Unit
ed Garment Workers in many cities
in America. . Over $12,000,000 worth
of workingmen's shirts and overalls
are annually produced in the prisons.
That output has broken strikes, re
duced wages, helped the sweatshop,
kept parents from earning bread for
their families, and put' young children
out of school and on the human labor
market.
The last report of the American
Federation of Labor shows that dur
ing the year 1909 statements were re
ceived from 68 international organiza
tions showing that in the twelve

ing 87,031 members Of this number,
53,971 members were benefitted and:
9,432 were not. Three hundred and
forty-one of these strikes were won,..
57 . were compromised and 104 were
lost At the close of the year there
were still 64 strikes pending.

ters with the Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners. The Amalgamted
Society is of English origin, with a
membership ot around 5,000 in this
country. The; brotherhood has a
membership roll of about 185,000. Ac
cording to General President William
D. Huber, the members of , the Na
tional Woodworkers' Union of ; New
York City have recently been taken
into the brotherhood. ' ; '
To meet the objection of the spe
cial committee of the American Fed
eration of Labor that technical schools
do not fit the students to enter upon
the pursuits of workmen after they
leave ' school, ' the 1 authorities at the
high schools of Cincinnati, .. O., . in
which there is industrial education,
intend to take the boys in the second
year of their course of study and
place them in shops where they may
be shown how to do different kinds
of work. It is proposed that after hav
they are to attempt it themselves, and
that are to attempt it themselves, and
for that they are to receive ten cents
an hour. The third year they are to
be paid eleven cents an hour and the
fourth year they are to receive 12 1-2
cents an hour. This proposition has
met the opposition of the laboring
men of that city, who declare that the
system would do away with the reg
ular apprentice system and create an
aggregation of youngsters rho would
be qualified to act as strike breakers
in case of trouble.
