Leavenworth, Kan, July S.-When
the board of directors of the Kansas
penitentiary was in session. a Chicago
firm manufacturing pants, overalls
and blouses, made application to lease
convict labor and locate a shop within
the prison. The firm wanted the labor
of at least 100 prisoners and as many
more as could be spared. This firm
has leases for convict labor in the
Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and
other state penitentiaries. The repre-
sentative of the firm was informed
that there was no prison labor to lease
here. At present there are only about
$50 prisoners leased to both the fur
niture and overall factories.

This stands as to all but oats and
