MAY STOP PRISON LABOR IN NEBRASKA STATE INSTITUTIONS
Mrs. Nellie Benson, chairwoman of the state board of control, says it is not known if 500 prisoners will be obliged to stop labor in state penal institutions on the first of the year. She notes the board has ninety days to comply with codes and questions how state made goods would be exchanged for use in institutions if outside labor is curtailed. Benson adds that lack of public works funds will keep many awaiting entry to state institutions due to rising material and labor costs.
