PRISONERS ARE
MADE J0BLESS
BY DEPRESSION
Road Work Is Taken Away,
Says Official at Meet
ing Here.

Americas depression has gnawed
through walls Of the country's penal
institutions, and many wardens are
finding their prisoners jobleSs.
This is the statement today Of
John Ellis, chairman Of the New
Jersey state prison commission, in
indianapolis to attend a meeting at
the Claypool Of the executive COM
mittee of the American Prison As
ISOLATION.
The committee outlined a tenta-
tive program for the national con-
vention Of the association to be held
here Oct. 81.
Jobs Taken Away
'The depression" Ellis said, has
had a definite effect upon the pris-
ons and many prisoners jobs have
been taken away from them, Great
ing a definite problem for prison
administrative officials to solve.
Zone Of the most useful and log
zeal Jobs which can be given priS-
oners is that of public road building,
and congress has eliminated this as
an outlet for prison labor through
recent legislation presenting use OF
federal aid funds in road building
by states employing convict labor
on the highways.
Occupation is, Of course, neces-
sary for prisoners. and versatile
wardens are meeting the problem
by creating new jobs, setting up vo-
cational schools TO which prison.
ers devote a portion Of their work.
ing hours and establishing recre-
ational programs"
Many Trees Planted
Among the new and, as yet ex-
perimental, jobs created for prison.
ers are the forestry camps estab-
lished in Wisconsin, Ellis said.
Warden Oscar Lee Of the Wiscon-
sin state prison, president Of the as
ISOLATION, said the first Of the two
camps was established last August
with fifty-five picked men and that
265. 900 trees were planted. The sec
ond camp was established in October
and the planting of 1000 trees is
planned this spring.
The depression, according to Lee,
noticeably has increased the prison
population, although national figures
later than those Of 1929 are not
available.
Prison population, he said, in
creased from 1000 in 1921 to 10000
in 1929. Since then the percentage
of increase has been accelerated, he
asserted.
DIR. Butler Prasied
The committee visited DR.. Amos
w. Butler, pioneer in pathological
work and former executive secre-
tary of the Indiana state board of
charities. DR.. Butler was praised by
his former colleagues, Lee referring
to him as one Of the great war
horses" of prison betterment work.
Indiana officials at the meeting
were Ralph Howard, state reforma-
tory superintendent; G. w. Craig of
the state penal farm; o. w. Negus
of the Boys school, and j. A. Brown,
secretary of the board of charities
and assistant secretary of the asso-
citation.

A FTER much weighty celebration
~ Tommy settled upon Joplin as
the place to make his fortune,
and after the wedding he and Grace
settled in this busting Missouri town.
As the r-onths rolled slowly BY, how
ever, Tommy found it extremely diff
cult to make mere living, not alone
a fortune.
Opening his o1hce doer one morning,
be was greeted by a little grey-haired
man patiently awaiting his arrival.
Mr.. Tucker. asked the man, could
have little reat r1cney this morning?
You've occupied this place eleven
months now and you still owe ten"
we'll began Tommy in a half
hearted drawl, scratching his head, I've
got deal on. He broke of abrupt
ly, and turning, saw well-dressed,
keen-looking business man entenng.

newcomer, and wheeling to the little
man ushered him out # the Office with
q brusque and lusty assurance, Ycu
may be sure, Mr.. Pickering. that the
matter will be handled to your enurc
satisfaction.
T.nmy kreathed deep sigh Of relief
as he faced his new visitor who had
already spread a large rap upon his
desk.

deep resonant voice, is that your kw-

There was something disocncerting in
Barstcw's tcne, and when he began roll
ing up the map again, Tommy's heart
sank. He stoo1 open-mouthed, staring
at Sarstow and it was not until the man
had reached the door that be found his
voice.
when will l see you again. Mr..
Barstcw" Tommy asked desperately.
Why l thought Mrs. Rarsrcw and
were having dinner with you tonight +,
said Barstow, surprised at Tommy
query.
Tcmmy's face flushed with embarr-
assment. Sure, he Stammered, that's

When Tommy arrived home that
evening he was surprised and somewhat
disturbed to see that preparations for
the dinner had not been completed.
Grace was still busting around the
little apartment, in and out Of the
kitchen, setting the small tahle for four.
Tommy watched her in silence for a
moment and then asked excitedly:
