Commissioner Wight Has Visit

TRENTON, Sept. 9:-The Rev. DR..
George b. Wight, state commissioner
of charities and corrections, will pre-
weeks the special report requested
by the governor several weeks ago on
the question of making the reforma-
tory and penal institutions of the
state self-sustaining.
The investigation to gather mater
ial for the report was begun August
10 and since then Commissioner
Wight has visited all the state insti-
buttons in question.
Besides making these visits the
commissioner has prosecuted the in
quiry along Independent lines and in
other states. His report will sum
Marie the findings of, his quest and
will make certain recommendations
deduced from the findings.
Commissioner Wight has found
the problem a hard one to solve, be-
cause any plan for the further en-
pIoyment of the convicts with a view
of placing the institutions more near
ly on a self-sustaining basis must be
made to harmonic with the state
regulations which prohibit the en-
ployment of more than 100 convicts
at any one time in any one industry.
These regulations were forced upon
the state by the labor unions, and
were designed to prevent the compe-
tltion between convict labor and the
honest labor and industries of the
state.
State Prison Labor.
The question whether these regu-
lations could be modified without a
detriment to honest labor is one of
the points being considered by Com
missioner Wight. Any conclusion

with the purchase of a pump for the

poses as an expert on pumps and,
after drawing his own plans, he
states that the pump to be furnished

though they are according to his
