STATE REVIEWS ITS
CONTRACT TO WORK
THE BANNER MINE
Terms for Next Five Years
Are Practically Same as
At Present-SOme
Minor Changes

Montgomery, September 2S-(Special)
Officials of the Pratt Consolidated, Gov
ernor Henderson and the state convict
board today reached an agreement pro.
viding for a renewal Of the states con-
tract for the operation of Banner mine
for period of five years beginning Jan
uary l, on practically the same basis as
the old contract
Governor Henderson announced late to-
day that new contract had been agreed
on. and stated briefly that the basis, to
all practical purposes, was the same as
the contract which expires December 81.
The new contract, however, affords
the state wider latitude in the way of,
working convicts in mine said the gov
ernor. Under the new agreement the
state is given the privilege of working SO
more convicts. We have about 400 at
Banner now. and this gives us the privi-
lege of putting 45O there if it is desired
The price obtained by the state for coal
is few cents higher, but that is abb
sorbed by certain obligations that the
state assumes, one being virtually an
offset for the other.
1t is understood that the contract price
agreed on is 6S cents per ton, against O.,
cents in the former contract IA
Pratt Consolidated officials will remain
in Montgomery tomorrow to work out the
details of the contract so that it may be
signed up as early as possible
