At = meeting of Gov. George A.

Kendrick of Wyoming and the mem

tees OF the Colorado and Wyoming
General Assemblies. 1t was determined
to hold joint sessions of the commit.
tees in Denver. Through the joint
meetings it is hoped that uniform
drafts of Industrial laws will be made
for simultaneous enactment in Colo
rado and Wyoming. That the estab-
lishment OF such uniform legislation
might be extended to other states. the
Legislatures of Utah and New Mexico
were invited to send committees to the
meetings. Thus 1t is probable that
four states may cooperate on the
laws. After the conference Governors
Carlson and Kendrick issued the fol-
lowing statement on the subject
''The four states of Wyoming Utah,
New Mexico and Colorado have the
same industrial conditions to meet We
are dependent uDOn similar markets
for our products. We should have the
same Industrial and compensation
laws. The conference between the Of
ficers Of the states have this and in
