NEAR BEER MEN MUST WAIT UN.
TIL LEGISLATURE ORDERS
APPROPRIATION.
MANY ARE DISAPPOINTED
10 Is Believed Next Session Doubt
less Will Take Some Action
For the Relief For Former
Near Beer Men.
Shreveport

Shreveport
Because no appropriation for that
purpose was made by the Legislature
at the last session, near beer dealers
twhO have had to close up shops I'M
der the law barring their businss in
prohibition sections, will have to wait
until after the next session Of the
General Assembly to receive their
refunds on state licenses. This is in
dicated in sdvices from State Aditor
Capdeville to Sheriff T. R. Hughes,
who states:
AS You will notice in the above
1.-THE acD no amount of money is ap.
propriated or set aside to pay the
states portion of license sought to be
refunded, and no one is authorized in
the said act to pay this refund with
out having an amount set aside for
the SAID purspose, specific appropria-
ton being necessary under the law"
This brings disappointment to per-
sons in Caddo who were forced out of
business by the anti-near beer law.
They expected to have half of the IL
cense money refunded by the state
. right away as we'll as by the city,
which already has refunded more than
$1,000, being SIS on each license. All
but four of the forty-six dealers have
received the city's refund, and those
four will get same when they return
their license receipts.
The receipts for state license will
be kept on record by Chief Deputy
Sheriff John Mccullough, and when
the Legislature makes the required al
iOwance, the refunds will be made.
The reason an appropriation was not
ordered by the lawmakers at their re-
cent session is because the appropria-
hon measure was prepared before the
hnti-near beer law was enacted, it is
explained. AT the next session doubt.
less the Legislature will take action
for relief for the former near beer
men.

CHILD LABOR BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Amendment Adopted Would Extend
Bills Provision TO Bar All PRODUCTS
Of Concerns Employing Children.

Washington. -The senate Tuesday
passed the bill to prevent interstate
commerce in products Of child labor.
The vote was 81 to II. The measure,
already passed by the house, was
brought to a vote In the senate upon
the ins!stence OF President Wilson
after the democratic caucus once had
decided to defer its consideration until
next December.
Opposition to the measure had come
chiefly from Southern cotton mill own
erS, and the group of Southern demo
Gratis who voted against it had fought
it in caucus and maintained their op.
position during the senate debate on
the ground that the regulation pro-
posed is unconstitutional and would
interfere with the rights OF the states.
Eleven democrats from the South
voted for it.
In order to expedite consideration,
senate confereees were appointed i'm
mediately after the final vote was
taken. The only amendment adopted
would extend the bills provisions to
bar all products of establishments EN-.
ploying children from interstate COM
merce.
The house measure was directed
only against those on which child
labor labor actually had been employ.
