APPEAL TO OREGON

' 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.
The ill complained of would not
alftTect Oregon as much as- ir would
tr-any other states, and it has not yet
oeen aecided what course the Oregon
omciais wtii take in the matter,

THE SENATORS PRANCED TO ;
- TH E MUSIC, !
V never had a better demonstration!
ctf the great power of, music, over thej
average American than at i the last
White .House receotion. When the
nresident receives in the evening his:
office. is used as a cloak room for the..
women of the senate. Tlie uppfcr coH
"dor is always deserted, save for a few)
attendants and the officers ofthe presi-i
dent's housej and: if you sit in one p
the corners, you can watch everybody
who enters and leaves the cloak rooms,
and be quite unobserved as if you were;
not there at all. The band in'he hall
bchw played' a dance music program
one evening. A ,congrenssman Ironi
Pennsylvania - stood iust outside the
president's office waiting for his lovely
Wrie, when a aotisa two-stci)1 beganj.
The congressman began to mark time
with his, feet. .. Then his body began
to sway, and in a moment he was cor
inir a cake-walk. Presently two pretty
Ridi'mond girls came out of the cloak
room, .and they, too, went teetering

along in time with the music. Down in
the East room, they walked slowly and
with dignity, trat just the minute they
reached the upper corridor the jjuisic

and there, was swaying and prancing
