New Company To Employ Convicts At State Penitentiary
A conference of the state board of control, Warden A S Croggins, and Wealth Manufacturing officials resulted in a tentative agreement for a new corporation to be formed by Bunting lon interests. The contract begins August 1 and mirrors terms allowing Gorviam East Coast Shirt Co to withdraw. The plan, subject to governor and attorney general approval, sets minimum wages and limits activities to shirt making and related items under the Gordon contract and awaits Hawtes-Cooper bill limits on prison-made goods.
