nended.
Il is provided that not more than per
cent Of the prisoners of the state shall be
employed in any one industry, and that the
introduction of labOr-saying machinery is
forbidden. The Southwick bill which is to
be introduced before Congress, embodies
the iceas of the committee and 1t was
recommended that It be sanctioned by the
federation.
The adoption CT the committees recon-
mendations of the Southwick bill was
moved but IL was objected by some thar
the bill does not provide that this law shall
cover the United States prisons as well as
the state prisons, and another reading OF
