Unions not Affected by Anti- Ttust Law Washington, Dec. 30.—That labor unions do not come under the i?n»- visions of the Sherman anti-trust law was the belief expressed today by #Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor. “When the anti-trust law was framed,” said Mr. Morrison, “there was no intention that labor unions should ever be affected by it. It was passed to meet a different demand There Is at present a bill pending in Congrss, introduced by Representative Wilson, of PnnSylvania, to defl,niteiy exempt labor unions from the opera tion of the Sherman anti-trust l&w* Mr. Morrison endorsed the plan for a labor commission, on a large scale as a government institution as pro posed to President Taft by labor ex perts attending the convention scientist^ here. “We have always advocated a de partment of. labor of the govern' ment.” said Mr. Morrison, is at present a hill introduced by Representative Sulzer, pending before the house, providing for such a de partment. The federation always favored such a measure and is doing all It can to promote testimony of this new branch. Washington, Dec. 30.—-The prison population of the United States on January 1, 1910, was 113,579 and the number of commitments during the year was 479,763, according to a prelim inary statement of prison statistics made today by Director of the Census Durand. These figures include every class of offense from vagrancy to first degree murder. The ratio of prisoners to population on January 1 1910, was 125 to 100,000 and the ratio otxsommltments to popu lation during the year 522, to 100,000. Thus at the beginning o^ the year 1910, one person out of every 800 in the United States greeted the new year in prison, and during the year 1910, for every. 190 persons in the total population, there was one commitment The number of committnen^s does not represent that many^diffwent persons, because the persons comitteir include many “repeaters.” The number of/prisoners in propor tion to population was smallest in South Dakota, 48 per 100,000 pop^a- tion, and largest in Nevada, 353 per 100,000 population, and the number of commitments in proportion to popmar tion was smallest in North Carolina 123 per 100,000 population, and largest in Arizona 2,992 per 100,000 popula tion. ' Three Ktiled In 2 tain Wreck but privately, it was learned on undis- putable authority, the Italian ambassa- j dor wrote to Mr. Thomas that he could; not attend. /The real reason for his failure to come, said ^r. Thomas, was; because the l^ing had ordered him to j stay away because Italy was at pres-j ent at war, and, also, that it may be rather embarrassing to see the Turk-| ish and Italian amh^ssador at a; peace dinner.
