APPEAL TO OREGON A BILL, BEFOBE COXGKESS FRIGHT' ' EX'S fHISOS COXTKACTOBS Oovcrnor Ciccr Crged by s tieorcte Firm to ! I'M ItU Efforts to Defeat the V (From Daily, Feb. 21st) Gov. T. T. Geer , yesterday ; received a letter from J. W. English Jr general manager of, the Chattahoochie Brick Comrpany, Atlanta, Georgia, under date of February 13th, calling attention to the hill, now before congress, intended to prohibit the shipment of convict made goods beyond the confines of the state in which tbey are made. The writer is evidently a. large esnp-loyer of convfct labor" in Georgia, and he is ex tremely urgent in asking for support ia his effort to defeat the legislation complained of. The letter says: "I assume that a large percentage of the product of prison- labor in your state is shipped into other states, rhete- k'ore I toeg.to call your attention to a biH, now pending before congress, which, has. been under consideration by a committee of congitss, who have re ported Jfavoribly on same, -which bill has in view the following object, viz: To prohjit the "product of convict labor being shipped beyond the borders of the (State wherein same is. manufac tured or produced. ; 1 : , I am reliably in-formed through representatives at Washington that this bill, is most likely to jass congress and heco-me a iaw, in which event you will readily perceive that it would prove disastrous, not only to the persons or companies j hiring convict labor, but likewise to the 'states -who hire out their convict labor by contract, "or work their prisoners in agricultural pursuits. as their product could not be shipped beyond the borders of the statei and. farther, no person or company could ZiJl,L ' conrpusnea P3? tne or afford. to engage in a conTact V thel id 't&t&J.'TtdL hire of prison labor should this biH.be cone.a law, as statistics, I think, will show that about 90 per cent of the pro duct of convict lafbor in the various states is Shipped beyond the oorders of the state wherein it is. manufactured. "Fearing rhat the matter had not been brought to your attention, and assuming thSt such legislation would be detrimental to the interests of your state, and to the persons or companies hiring your -prison labor, I. thought it 'best to call your attention 10 the mat ter as my advices indicate that there is a strong probability that this or some o,ther measure will be adopted, prohib iting the shipment of the product of convict labor beyond the boundaries of the state .wherein produced. The prison officials and executive department of this state have taken the matter up with oug; representatives in congresrs, sand are' urging that they spare no effort in the defeat, of such legislation. I 'trust that this matter will , meet with your favorable j consideration, and that you win take simrlar action.
