lnDENTURE OF
BOYS ILLEGAL
Given in the lanes
burg School Case.

~
Trenton, Jan. 13.--In an opinion
just rendered to Captain John G.
Kalieen, superintendent OF the State
Home fer Boys johannesburg, Assist
ant Attorney General SNeis0nrH.
e5askiif declares tfsat the practice OF
indentuTing boys parolsed from the
institution to farms and Htkers Is
Illegal under the law passed last
winter prohibiting contract labor in
the penal, correctional and reforma-
tory institutions of the state. The
decision also applies to the State
Home for Girls in this city, or any
ether institution which indentures
fts inmates.
Superintendent Kalieen requested
the opinion from Mr. Gaskiil. stating
that it had been the practice to In
denture parolled boys when they
had nc parents Or guardians to whom
they could return from the home.
Their earnings were deposited with
the treasurer OF the Home and paid
to the boys when they become OF age.
MIR. Kalleen wrote AFR. Gaskill that
as he interpreted the law, it forbade
the placing of a boy In any position
for which q charge was made
In hts reply, the assistant attorney
general said that while the naw law
is not entirely clear. yet at the same
time 1t seemed to him that the acs
in question does not include the
practice OF indenture AZ one OF the
methods of employment OF the labor
Eof inmates Of these institutions. He
said that ia his opinion Line indentuf-
ing should not be continued unless
Eapproved by the commission on prtS-
on labor, constituted BY the new law.
Mr.. Gaskill declared that 1t Is doubt
full In view of the provisions OF tEe
act whether the commission would
have authority to authorize the In
|denture of the inmates OF the Home.
Mrs. Elizabeth ". Mansell, super
intendsnt OF the State Home for
Girls, said today that the decision
would have 8 very serious effect
upon this Institution a. well as tie
State Home for Boys. and that Ina
mediate steps would be taken to
have the new law amended SO rs tt
permit the indenture of inmates
from both institutions. She referred
20 the fact that The money earned by
the girls who are indentured goes
solely for their own henafit, and
without some change In the law the
girls would have to be ratained in
tine Home until they were twenty
one years OF HEes and there would
51s no incentive for them to endeayer
to their liberty
