Washington, Dec. t6.-Opposition
of the Iowa delegation to the bill
prohibiting the Interstate shipment
of goods manufactured in prisons
was urged upon the Hawkeye mem
bers by w. u. Sheean, chairman, ana
J. H. Strict, a member, OF the board
of control of state institutions during
their visit here this week.
Enactment Of the bilt would be q
serious thing for Iowa, the two board
OF control members pointed out, be-
GAUSS of, the fact that the penal In
stitutions OF the state Manufacture
great quantities Of chairs and other
materials for shipment outside OF the
state of Iowa. It was said that the
revenue from the manufacturers OF:
the Iowa prisons practically offset
the cost of maintaining the institu-
tfons. and at the same time afford
healthy occupation to the inmates.
The bill is supported by'@ sofDe'
branches OF organized labor and by
prison organizations, but while brief
hearings have been held on 1t before
the house Judiciary committee, no
indication WAS apparent today that a,
favorable report on the measurs
would be authorized soon. Congress-
man w. D. Bofes, Of the Eleventh
lowe district, the Hawkeye delexa-
tion's representative on the Judiciary
committee, was urged by sheesn and
Strict to exert his influence toward
killing the proposed measure. Boies
said today that he had not beensin-,
formed that any action would be
taken on the bill before the next ses-
sion Of congress.
