Publication of names of poll tax rc- eeipt holders and representation of DO Htical parties other than the Demo cratic on election boards may be in. cluded in the proposed election law to be drafted by a committee appointed at the special convention of the State Federation of Labor in Little Rock last week, according to c. B. McCar- thy, chairman. The other members of the committee are Joe Flynn and c. r. Casa, 10th of Little Rock. The resolution authorizing the committee provided only that the committee should draft "an election law that will be fairer to all parties than the pres ent law" and to submit draft of the bill to the president of the federation within 30 days.
 tfhe present law is unfair to Re. publicans, Socialists and other politi. cal parties in several ways, and it will be the aim of the committee to have the new bill eliminate the unfair conditions" MT. McCarty said "The committee has not discussed the mat ter but it is probable one provision will require that the names of all hold, CTS of poll tax receipts be published, showing whether they are white or black. The bill probably will provide also for the representation of political parties other than the Democratic on election boards"
 After the bill has been approved by the president it must be ratified by the local unions that are members of the State Federation of Labor before being initiated and submitted at gen. eral election. It is planned to have the measure voted on at the general election in November, 1916. Repre-. sentative T. A. Wilson of Pine Bluff is president of the federation.
