COMMISSION MAY CONSIDER
 PRISON LABOR
Legislative Committees Believe This Is Best Solution of
 Problem
ay Our Staff Corres.)

Hartford. May EThe legislative committees Labor and states Pris- on at an executive session held yester- day for the consideration of all bills pez1&7ng for the prohibition of contract prison labor in the penal institutions of Connect1cut. went over the matter at length and decided to recommend that a commission be raised to study tho problems involved in this perplex- ing question and report it's recommen- datdons at the next session of the General Assembly. The commission is to comprise three citizens of Connec- tictt, selected by the Governor, one { to be chosen from the directory of the States prison.
 Leading labor advocates of Connec- tfcut, together with other students, of crimfnology, have long waged 8 cam paign against prison labor At a hearing upon the bills Col. Norris G. Osborn, editor of the New Haven Journal-Courier, strongly impressed the comnittee with his arguments which favored a continuation of the present system at the States prison.
 AS the opposing sides are practically 7rreconciIably apart, the Joint commit tee believes that the question can only be settled by an investigation by an Impartial commission.

Bridgeport fire department, from $2,- 600 to $s.ooo will be favorable to the proposed increase.
 This bill will make it possible for the salary of the chief to be increased without the forma1fty of his tendering his resignation, which would be neces- ary if he were to obtain the increase through the recently enacted ordf- mace.
 The action of the committee is along lines already forecasted in these dis patches.

ProtraCted Hearing
 On Bill Calling For Tax On Corporations

Hartford, May 7-The finance com
 nittee listened for three hours yes terday afternoon to spirited argu- ments for and against a substitute for House Bill 851, concerning the taxa ton of certain corporations. The pro- posed substitute provides for d license fee of 1-20 of 1. per cent. for foreign corporations and an annual tax Of 1-s of 1 per cent, computed upon the cap ital stock of the corporations. Sena- tor Weed presided at the hearing.
 Donald T. Warner of Salisbury ex- pletned the proposed substitute in con- siderable detail The State, he sa1dr in spite of it's present prosperity, IS facing a deficit that may amount to
 more than $5,000.000. The proposed tax would only affect business corpor- ations that are not always reached to a just degree by other taxes. While there is nos accurate data as to what the returns from such a tax would be, he said, he thought 1t would yield at least $900, GOO. It was merely requiring the corporations to pay Incense Tee, he said, treating them the same way as the cities that vendors and oth- CTS who are required to pay for li- censes.
 John P. Kellogg of Waterbury ob- Jected to the proposed measure on the ground that it put premium on a corporation with a small capital pay ing a large dividend, and that the firm that, through misfortune or for other reasons, was earning only a small dividend would be discrfninated against Manufacturers would be driven from the State. he said. Rep resentatfve Taylor of Danbury, R. O. Wells of Hartford, and Arthur M. Marsh, representing thes Crane Valve Company of Bridgeport, all spoke against the bil1 emphasizing the gen eraI arguments advanced by MT. Kel- Iogg. Representative Ryce of west Hartford made a fiery address against the proposed measure in which he advocated a State tax and said that he understood the bill originated with the Tax Commissioner.
 John J. Walsh of Norwa1k, Repre- sentative Lynn w. Wilson and Leon ard H. HeaIey of woodstock were the principal speakers in favor of the bill. MT. Healey said the proposed measure had the support of the Grange and that that organization had been active in framing it. Those who spoke in it's favor all emphasized the need of addf- tiona1 revenue.

Zaitchar had neither cripple 0

this led to inyidiCus comments from
the inhabitants of other villages who
had suffered severe losses in life and
limb.
The death of Corporal Simon. who
