ARIZONA ADOPTS
LABOR MEASURES
Employers Liability and Work
mems Compensation PrOVis-
ions Go Into Constitution

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 5.-Construct-
i've work i'm framing Arizona consttu-
ton was completed today, but there are
intimations that further attacks Will
be made on certain provisions before
final action is taken.
Considerable debate preceded the
final massage of the employers liabil-
ity and workmen's compulsory compen-
sation measures today, the former haV-
ing been amended in many respects.
ATTORNEYS made a hard fight on the
provisions in the original measure,
which abrogated the doctrines of as
sumed risk and "contributory negli-
gence." Judge Baker declaring the only
defense of corporations in future dam
age actions would be suicide AS
amended the measure is considered by
many to be superior to any adopted py
other states. The compulsory COM
nensation measure is in the form of
mandate to the Legislature to enact
a law similar to that which recently
became effective in New York. This Is
the first constitution to contain such
provision.
ardent Democrats made an effort to
have the schedule relating to the judi
ciary amended so that the seal of the
supreme court should be vlSnette OF
Jefferson instead of Lincoln. Ihey
were YOIeu OONlls
, In the afternoon session few Demo-
cratic members made an apparently Sc
rious effort to secure the adoption OF a
proposition introduced presumably as a
Joke by Cooper, Republican, prohibiting
any member of the convention holding
any office created by the constitution
for five years. A humorous debate fol-
lowed. Recess was taken until even
ing after the proposition had been
amended to read "five hundred years.
Democratic members held meeting
Yesterday to plan for the campaign
nrior to the election for ratification OF
the constitution by the people. II mas
been intimated that the Republicans
plan organized opposition.
AS tonight offered the last oppor-
tunity for amending provisions OF the
constitution, many changes were pro-
posed but only in minor details were
amendments carried. The most I'M
portant, one by Baker of Marlcopa
was an amendment to the declara
tion of rights. 1t was construed pA
labor members as a prohibition o.
picketing and was defeated, Is to rs.
Prior to the consideration of the
constitution by the convention sitting
as committee of the whole, the con-
vention adopted a special ordinance
for the election at which the constltu-
ton will be ratified or rejected by the
people. This will occur in February
the day to be fixed on the DAY the
constitution has final adoption.
