There was no more necessity for .he

TBelaw abofishing convict laborpassed
by tlie last session of -.the Illinois legisla

will be employed only in the manufao

ineaoure further provided that the con
victs shall not be employed more than
eight hours a day. It is hard to see just
ban' confining convict labor to articles
used by the' state prevents competition
