N. J. PRISON REFORM
HELD UP BY POLITICS
Contract Labor, Abolished by
Law Four Years Ago, Still
Extant in State.

TRENTON, March 22.-AlthouEh tho
Legislature four years ago passed an act
to abolish contract labor in the state
Prison and provide for state use Of pris-
oners and equipment Of the prison, five
contractors stll are using prison labCr
When the act was passed there were nine
contractors using prison labor so that
four years after tho act became law less
than one-half the contracts have been
abolished
Responsibility for this condition, accord
ing to Governor Fielder. is laid to the
fact that the Legislature has not appro-
prated funds to carry the law into Of
feet and to too much politics being dl-
lowed to miN into the personnel and WORK
Of the Prison Labor Commission. Tho
Governor several times has called confer
ences OF the State officials to discuss the
penal problem but without any definite
result
There now is an appropriation Of $4,000
available for the purchase OF raw ma
terials for use at tho prison. but this is
insufficient to launch the state success
fully in the new enterprise.
Politics Is preventing the enactment Of
legislation that would wipe out the dual
control of the affairs at the prison and
until this Is done little may be expected

SOUTH BETHLEHEM IS
NOTLEGALLY A CITY
Supreme Court Rules Law Was
Violated in A mpt to

The method by which South Bethlehem

ton County in the case of Commonwealth
VS.. City of South Bethlehem,
South Bethlehem is still borough, al
though special election has been held,
in accordance with an act of the Lcgis-

decided 10 charter the city. The election
violates the Constitution. said Justice Ell
kin in his decision, inasmuch as the Con-
sttution states that the change can be
made only in Il general election. Until
general not t special election is held
South Bethlehem will remain n borough.

This shows at least Il Republicans

opposed, with possibilities of at least a
dozen others of both parties.
Although 1t Is the general impression
that the bill passed second reading and
is not subject to any further amendment,
the official minutes. printed copies of
which reached the members carly Satur
day morning last. indicate that the record
shows the bill still on second reading
and a special order of business for s
o'clock tonight. Speaker Godfrey feels
certain that the bill was actually passed
on second reading, but in the rush of
legislative business he cannot be certain.
The minutes are without any record of
the bill passing second reading. and as It
now stands-unless there has been an
error of the prlnter-the bill is unfinished
business on second reading and subject
to amendment tonight.
