such change of policy by the Legislature for they had reason to expect that the system of hiring out prison labor to manufaetureoj had been abandoned long ago In the Government of Sir Oli ver made a somewhat similar agreement with The Brandon Manu facturing Co of Toronto for the manufacture of a large quantity of wooden goods in the Central Prison but at a much higher price than that charged in the agreement complained of Piece work prices at that time were based on prison labor at per day and in addition the Bran don Manufacturing Company was to to the Government the sum of per year to cover the sal aries the Government employees engaged upon the industries We find in looking over this former contract that the piece work prices were in most cases about three times as much a the present agreement for but notwithstanding this fact when contract came before the Legis lature for ratification in March it was strongly opposed not only by the opposition hut also by the representatives and manufacturers as being unfair and unjust to both manu facturers and labor Owing the opposition offered Sir Oliver Mowat decidea to appoint a Commission to inquire into the whole

presented to lowing petition Hon The Provincial Secretary Toronto 21lh May 1900 The Hon The Provincial Secretary Sir The manufacturers and re presentatives labor here today de sire to call your attention to the great done to them by after this long lapse of time although the cost of living has great ly increased and the wages all classes of mechanics have materially advanced in most cases from to per cent and the cost the manufacturer for paid lalwr has in consequence greatly increased yet prison labor is now hired out under the present agreement at a very much lower rate than it was fifteen years ago it now being on only cents per diy instead cents as formerly Surely prise is to I to bring the We are very strongly of that the present system of equipping the prison industries with the latent improved machinery and hiring out prison labor at such ridiculously low rates is wrong in principle and should he stopped It the object sought to he obtained by such a system is to give employment to prison labor then nachinery that would labor and thereby give more employment to the prison ers In way the prison could be used without coming Irto such strong competition with tree he present system of why not port for 1007 these facts yet the prison industrio with machinery and I is inconsistent with the policy of looking over the prices work on the various goods mi In the present agreement we labor and tiat the basis on which these piece work prices are made is prison labor at cents which is less than onefifth of the price at which unskilled labor can be had in tin market We also notice that the Central Prison prices include not only labor but all general expen ses and the only item entering into the cost of production which Taylor A Co have to supply is their raw materials All this gives them a great advantage In the sale of their goods lor they can place and are placing these goods on the market at a very- much lower price than any other manufacturer In addition the piece work prices arranged by present agreement Clause 3 therein gives firm Taylor Scott So Co the right to manufacture Other pro ducts in the manufacture which the use of machinery or tools of an hazardous character Is not re quired Under this clause the Com pany can manufacture almost any Hue of wooden goods anil In this way would compete with almost every tory manufacturing wooden goods- In the Province of Ontario The manufacturers represented here today who have a very large amount of capital Invested In machinery and plant mid a number of men em ployeI lor the manufacturing vari ous goods named in this agreement and goods may be manu factured by Taylor Scott Co thereunder find that they arc unable to meet such competition without serious loss WE THEREFORE
