- W609635014 abstract "The present tendency toward public control and public use of prison labor is to a large extent the achievement of the political activity of organized labor. The question of convict labor and its relation in competition to free labor has grown increasingly important in recent years and is receiving increased prominence in the discussion and attempted legislation of trade unions. In the political and legislative propaganda many and varied demands are made looking toward the regulation of competition, rather than the abolition of penal labor, and toward the improvement of the methods of dealing with the delinquent and social offender. Among the specific measures for protecting the citizen mechanic against a menacing competition and the convict against exploitation, may be named the following points: Public control and public use of convict labor, restriction of occupations which may be introduced in prison industry, limiting the number of prisoners employed on marketable wares, limiting the hours of employment of convicts, preventing interstate shipment of prisonmade goods, forbidding importation of raw or finished material upon which any penal labor has been bestowed, branding all prison-made goods, restricting the use of powerful machinery in prison industry, demanding hand processes so far as possible, and giving recognition to the right of the prisoner to healthful employment, humane treatinent, receiving awards for his dependent family, and a new chance to make good as a citzen. These points in the political and legislative program of organized labor represent the official attitude and demands. Individually and locally a great variety of opinions and sentiments, however, have been held; but the official utterances have never urged that prisoners be maintained in idleness, but have sought to regulate the displacement of citizen labor by convict labor and to minimize the evils of unequal competition between subsidized and low-plane prison labor and that of free citizens. The menacing effect of a subsidized and low-plane competition has been more or less clearly recognized by labor leaders and has been the chief motive for the opposition against the unregulated convict labor as it existed throughout the greater part of the last century. A second reason for this opposition is the moral injustice of impairing the means of livelihood of honest citizens by the labor of those who have violated the law of the state.
