WANTS THE DAVIS BILL VETOED.

George Blair, the Superintendent of the Outdoor
Poor Department of the city, has written a letter
to Governor Roosevelt asking him 10 veto the
Davis bill taking out of prison manufacture the
making of school furniture. He says:
AS you well know. I have given the best part of
my lie to the cause Of prison labor reform. and
felt content that after long struggle the system
Of employing convict labor that would be Of the
least injury to the citizen labor had finally been
established Convfcts must be employed and so
long they not engaged on public work they
be employed in manufacturing for State or local
institutions. so long the State local authori-
ties do not undersell the market. Some day a
proper system will yield some thing in the shape
of wages to the convicts. If too many convicts
at work industry the prison manage
ment has the power to reduce the number and the
whole matter we'll be left to the Prison Com
mission.
