pay the expenses incurred by the state
in maintaining militia in the strike
zone, which has reached more than a
million dollars, enact a law providing
for arbitration and a means of enforc-
ing dictum of arbiters that figure in
cases of labor strife; appointment of a
permanent constabulary to be used in
the event of peace disturbances of
magnitude; and prohibition of the sale
of munitions of war and liquor in af-
fected regions.

caucus candidate for speaker was re-
garded as victory for the supporters
of Governor Ammons. Slattery's elec-
ton is assured.
