Death blow aimed at convict contractor at Muscatine convention
Resolutions endorsing the prison probe commission stand against convict labor are expected at the Iowa State Federation of Labor gathering in Muscatine next month. The federation plans a program to press laws to end prison contract labor and to court Republican and Democratic nominees who back abolition. The 12 year campaign argues convict labor harms workers, raises free wage declines, and benefits only the contractor who exploits victims. Mrs W H Adams visits at Rural Route 4 home, then returns to Bayfield.
