Nobody Spoke In Favor Of Con-
vict Labor on Highways.

The committee on special legislation OF
the Senate gave a hearing this afternoon
TO all persons interested in the act pro-
viding for the employment OF convict Ia
Dor on certain highways OF the state.
and for the establishment of a state high
way commission.
There was a great deal of interest mani
tested in the matter, and the large hear
ing room on the tAurd floor OF the new
State House was we'll crowded when
Senator Kenyon opened the hearing.
Senator Parker of Coventry spoke first,
and explained his connection with the
bill, which he had introduced. but he
made no argument in Its favor.
Fred A. Newell of Central Falls. Sena-
tor Cross or Charlestown. and Messrs.
Conley and Lathrop OF Cranston and 9TH
ers spoke in favor OF the act, so far as
IL referred to highway commissioner
and good roads, but said nothing in IA
yor OF the convict laOor portion.
The principal speakers against the pro-
posed act were Senator Babcock of Hop
kinton, Francis Gallagher of Providence
and w. A. Slocum.
These were strongly opposed to the en-
ployment of convicts on the highway, and
vigorously denounced any such proposi-
ton.
