Salem, Or., Oct. !.--Contract labor in
Oregon came to an end Saturday night
when the Lowenberg A Going company,
stove manufacturers, who have been at
the penitentiary employing convict labor
for the past 16 or 30 years, was ordered
to discontinue because of failure to
make payments. .
This announcement, made today, la
especially Important at this time, as it
means the release of hundreds of con
victs from the stove foundry work to
the work of crushing rock for road building-
throughout the state and for muen
needed repair work about the state In
stitution. Now that tha brick demand
can be supplied by tha yards operated
with free labor, no more penitentiary
brick will- be disced upon the open
market. .
There have been employed' in the
stove foundry about 200 convicts. ' Be
fore leaving for two days' rest and re
cuperation at Seaside today, Governor
West gave out the following state
ment: ' .
Company Behind All Tear.
"The Lo wen berg & Going company
being again in default In Its payments
for convict labor, the men were not
-permitted to return to work. This puts
an end to the state's contract with the
stove foundry and to contracted con
vict labor in this state.
The company was behind in Its pay
ments for labor for the months of
January. February and March of this
year and being unable to meet .thrrn
was given, with the consent of - its
surety company, until the first of the j
year to make payment. In consideration
of the concession, however, the com-
pgny promised to make-prompt payment I
of all amounts due In future. This it
haa failed to do and I can see no rea
son why the state should be called up
on to finance "the affairs of this company.
"The Lowenberg A : Going company
will be allowed reasdnable time in which
to pay lta arrears and remove ita equip
ment The prison' authorities will take
possession of the building and Immedi
ate steps will be taken to utilise, the
same. .
How the bo Will Bo Vsed.
"The labor released ean be employed
In many waya at present, as there is
muoh repair work and cleaning up to
be done around the ' prison and ' other
state Institutions, At .soon as , equip
ment can be secured and installed in
the buildings for the purpose of manu
facturing such articles as can be used
and are needed at the several state in
stitutions " man can be , easily em
ployed." '.'..'--".;.--'-..'.;.-'-.-;'..'

' The rainy season has put an end to
