Prison labor bill sparks clash in Midwest states
Organized labor opposes the state board of control as it fights a federal bill to strip prison made goods from all articles. J H Strief travels to Washington to oppose the measure while J C Lewis urges congressmen to back it. A M McColl defends prison work to teach trades and aid post release self support. The board argues prison output must be stamped and could not be disposed of outside the state if the bill passes.
