BILL BY REOUX WOULD FORBID CONVICT LABOR Measure Designed to Place Ban on Work Done by Prisoners on Roads (Special Dispatch to The Post-Stat) ALBANY, April The principal of keeping inmates of the Great Meadow Prison at "hard labor" is likely to be interfered with by a proposed new law new pending in the Legislature designed to place a ban on the employment of inmates on highway construction work according to nincials of Na. State, Department of Correction. It has been pointed out that the bill if enacted into law would leave many of the state penal institutions without means of providing prisoners with regular labor to carry out the provisions of the sentences passed upon them by the judges of the courts. This proposed new statute was introduced by Assemblyman Harry A. Reoux, Republican of Warren County and is designed to amend the State Highway Law, and the County Law eliminating a cause which authorizes the employment of convicts in building and repairing highways in the counties and in the preparation of materials for such work.

Some of the State Penal institutions would be effected more than others should this bill become a law.
