Springfield April 16 legislative fights loom in the assembly with Myr. Chiperfield seeking to reintroduce a duplicate of the prison labor bill to remove convict labor from competition with state and private employers. Opposition expected from committee chair Dudgeon and labor groups as hearings already highlighted disputes over the 40 percent provision and actual prison employment rates. The day also features McGoorty’s primary election bill motion and local option advances, with Chicago representation and ballot reform debated amid adjournment pressures for May.
