CONVICT LABOR LEGISLATION NEEDED.

rpRoa THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUsE.1
ALBANY, March 1.-The Legislature has been In
session nine weeks and has made progress with the
prison labor question. The duty Of the members Is
plain. There are 525 convicts engaged State
account at the State prisons at Auburn and Danne-
mora The State owns the plant and tho men are
educated In the industries there adopted to wit: boots
and shoes at Auburn, and clothing at Dannemora.
There is no money 10 purchase material with which to
keep these men employed and they will be idle in
or two days The Senate in the opinion of Isaac
v. Baker, superintendent of prisons, should promptly
pass the Assembly bill which appiopriates $5OOOOO
with which to continue these industries the rest of tho
fiscal year. This will give the State account system OF
labor u fair trial under the suponntcndents super.
vision The State account system never was successful
under tho rule Of the three inspectors OF PRISONS but
many think it be made under one head that OF
the superintendent OF prisons. IL can be tried fairly
on these two industries.
The next duty of the Legislature is to provide en-
poyment for the 400 idle men at Auburn who were
employed the hollow and axle contracts which
have expired. 1t Is not wise in the opinion OF MIR.
