WILL NOT LEASE THE CONVICTS.
Policy of Letting Out Convicts to
Railroads Will Be Discontinued.
Houston Tex. Oct. 10". The of
convict labor on railroads Is being dis-
continued and Is to bo ontlroly stop-
pod. Superintendent Jos S.HIco ot the
State penitentiary at HuntsvIIIo. who
was in the city today stated to n Novui
reporter that no furthor contracts
would be made with railroads for con-
vict labor. Thoro wore soveral rea-
sons ho stated for making thnt stand
in no wise due to any fault on the
part or tho roads. One or tho objec-
tion Is that the prlsonors nro unduly
exposed to public gaze and such was
a source of annoyance to thorn. "There
Is many a good follow among tho con-
victs." stated Mr. nice "nnd somo of
them have prldo that surfers greatly
when they nro placed on such public
work." Again ho says that boarding
cars aro not adapted for convicts nnd
aro not ns comfortablo ns quarters.
There aro a numbor of roads using
convict gangs especially In now con-
struction work among thorn being sov-
eral of tho Southern Pacific linos. It
Is learned that tho roads themselves
nro not particularly partial to this
class of labor. Thoro has however
been a big shortago of hands during
tho past year and it has boon tho cno
of tako what could bo had or go with
out. wnilo convict labor may lie the
cboapor. It Is in many respects not
nearly so satisfactory to tho compan
ies.
Mr. Itlco stated that thoro was a
groat domand springing up among
farmors of North Toxas Tor prison
labor. Porsonally ho is opposed lo
hiring tho labor out at all but be
Heves it should bo used for stato work
oxclusivoly. Mr. Ttlco was on route
to Austin.
