TO FIGHT FOR REFERENDUM

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Little Rocket was announced by
officials of the Arkansas Federation OF
Labor that J. V. Bourland of Fort
Smith will represent the federation
and that the legal firm of Grant &
Coleman of Pine Bluff will represent
the Pine Bluff Trades Council when
the validity of the prohibition act of
the last legislature is argued before
the Arkansas Supreme Court on Octo-
Der 6.
The federation officials declared
that they wished it made plain that
they are not fighting prohibition. Pro-
hibition, they declared, is not a matter
with which union labor is concerned.
Union labor interests in the present
litigation, they declared, is confined
ed the emergency clause to the act,
ed the emergency caluse to the act,
althoughiit is not to become effective
until January |, 1914. Federation Of.
ficials declare that if this action Of
the legislature is sustained, it practi-
cally sounds the death knell of the
referendum in Arkansas.
The present case is one of the most
important ever brought before the Ark
ansas Supreme Court" said NJ. j. Nc
Mahon, deputy commissioner of the
State Bureau of Labor. IF the action
OF the legislature in attaching the
emergency clause to this bill is up
held, then the referendum amendment
might just as well be stricken from
the Arkansas constitution. A decis-
ion upholding the validity of this bill
would establish precedent that would
enable the legislature to attach the
emergency clause to any bill 1t pleases,
and thus defeat the will of the peo-
pie"
District President P. R. Stewart of
the United Mine Workers Union was
in Little Rock Friday, accompanied by
Herman Scott, A. w. Lehman, Thomas
Wilson and Peter Stewart, officers of
the Federation of Labor, for the pur.
pose Of comforting with local officers
regarding the position to be taken by
the labor organizations on the ques
ton now before the Supreme Court
which is known as the liquor bill. The
of the Supreme Court in this
case vitality affects the referendum
laws of the state. While the officers
Of the various organizations do no
wish to take sides to the controversy
yet they want to protect the referen
dunn and will be represented by coun
sci before the court for the purpos
of endeavoring to induce the court t
define the rights of the people t
refer measures passed by the legisla
ture, which are not real emergenc
measures.

PeriIs of the Late Afternoon.

Late in the afternoon is the peril
Gus hour for all day workers. Not
only do statistics prove it, but there
is an easily understandable physiolog-
ical explanation for it. For it is to-
ward the end of the days work that
fatigue comes on, and tired bodies.
and brains inevitably lead to mistakes
and accidents.
Bank clerks" says the Medical
Record, make most of the errors in
the late afternoon; wherefore there is
now early closing of these institu-
tons, since bankers have found their
employees mistakes too expensive for
the maintenance of longer hours. Ev-
cry one knows what dreadful calamity
must be feared when railway men
work too many hours through many
days. AS to druggists, to err with
perhaps fatal consequences in the
filling of prescription is indeed hui
man and hardly blameworthy in a.

post almost two-thirds of the twenty
four hours. Among industrial work
ers the desire for drink has often
