Convict Labor Problem.

Columbus, O.-Free text books to
be manufactured by prisoners in
the Ohio penitentiary is one of the
radical suggestions made by the board
of managers of the Ohio penitentiary
in their supplementary report made to
Gov. Harris regarding the Wertz law,
abolishing contract labor in the peni-
tentiary. 1t is suggested that this
work be started in July, when con-
tract will expire ON which 200 men are
employed. This is only one of the sug-
gestions, the others being that the
building be converted into building
for the manufacture of clothing, shoes,
brooms or some other light goods. The
men employed on the cigar contract
are those who are not able to do the
heavy work of the foundries, and the
men classed as infirm, because they
are not in condition to stand hard
manual labor. 1t Is suggested that the
$50 men employed by the Columbus
Hollowware Co., whose contract ex-
pires in January, be employed in re-
building cell blocks at the peniten-
tiary, if the legislature follows the sug-
gestion of the legislative investigating
committee and orders that work done.
