The Utility of Convict Labor in Making Road Material Is His Theme. f I "ndianapolis. Feb 3. The contrac' labor system now in force in the state prisons was severely criticised by State Geologist Riatchley in an ad dress before the farmers’ state con • gress of Indiana, which is holding its annual session in the siatehouse ' "The Utility of Convict Labor in .Making Road Material” was the subject of his iitidi t ss “The coi.tra€< labor system is a system which often leads to debauchery i and vorr’iption of public officers." said Mr. Blatchh’y "It is a system that ■ n»bs labor, destroys factories and turns over to private individuals an I ass. t of labor which slurild be used for the benefit of the people. The law I breaker owes a deb. to the community ■ and any profits accruing from his la ■ bor should go to the community " In order to abolish the evils in the contract system and to improv* the roads of Indiana, he advivated the using of the vast, undeveloped deposits of shale atnl fire-clay which, by prac tica! tests have l*-en found suitable for making the best paving brick He would have the general assembly pur chase an extensive bod of shale in western Indiana and erect a modern brick factory He would equip the factory with convict labor and put several hundred additional convicts to breaking stone for foundations and cutting it for curbing This brick and stone could then be furnished at the plant at less than one-sixth present prices to the counties devoid of other road material or. if they are unwilling to buy it. the material could lie given tc them.
