state VIII Not Use Time Clock.

Employees at the state house VIII
not be required TO punch time clock
when reporting and leaving work, for
the state executive council declined
to install the registering device rec.
commended by the legislative commit.
tee on retrenchment and reform. The
resolution adopted states that the
council at this time does not see the
necessity of a time clock system.
This is the second time the council
has turned the suggestion of the leg
islative committee. The recommends.
tion was made originally about six
months ago The council ignored It.
Last week a committee called upon
the council and requested immediate
action.
1t is probable that the matter will go
to the next legislature. The state Of
ficials in declining to entertain the
proposition did so because they said
they felt that II time clock is needed
at the capitol the legislature should
provide it. They assert that the head
of each department is responsible for
those under him and at present the
system is in good working order, each
employe giving the state full service.

For War On Prison Labor.


Attorney General George Cosson, at
the request of e. Stagg Within,
chairman of the national committee on
prison labor, of Columbia university,
wrote to the Iowa senators urging the
adoption of the bill now pending be-
fore the senate to regulate prison
made goods. This bill, which has
been quietly handled in congress, will
mean within a few years the elimina-
ton of contract labor in all prisons,
the attorney general asserts.
The measure has passed the house.
1t places all prison made goods ship
ped into other states subject to the
laws of that state. Almost all of the
states have legislated against prison
made goods, therefore the contractors
employing eonvicts will soon be with
out market, 1t is said.
The state board OF control officially
signed the contract by which the Fort
Madison Farming Tool company takes
over the contract held by the Fort
Madison Chair company. This gives
the board the privilege Of canceling
the contract in 1916. Then all con.
tract labor in the Iowa prisons will
have been abolished.
