pert Bill Passed.

Jefferson City.-A temporary solu
ton of the convict law was reached
BY the passage by the house OF the
Crosslcy senate bill authorizing the
contracting OF prisoners AZ an increase
OF cents a day over the old rate Of
70 cents until December 81, 1915.
with the end of the session close
and no prospect of deciding on some
way to care for the prisoners unless
Iy contracting them, an imperative
need was felt for immediate action.
Many members did not favor con
trIyting prisoners at less than So
cents day and the house already
had passed bill TO this effect
DUNN Of Cole declared it would be
IMPOSSIBLE 10 obtain this amount aud
that If the house edop;ed such an
amendment to the senate bill as pre-.
rrutod By Swicrs OF Christian, con
tractors would not bid for the labor.
Ia that event the 90, vernon would
have been compelled to call special
- sion Of the Legislature to appropri.
etn 100000 for the support Of the
prisoners during the next biennial
period.
The sentiment Of the Republicans
seemed to be with the Democrats, in
favor Of abolishing convict labor as
provided in a bill passed by the last
legislature.
Strenuous objections have been
raised by free labor TO employing the
cCuyicts at manufacturing anything to
compete with free labor and until the
passage Of the bill there was grave
possibility OF the prisoners being idle.
The OBrien bill prescribing a L.
hour day for fremen IN St. Louis

The Towson bill authorizing a
$4,000 appropriation for the trans.
portation Of Missourians who fought
