STATE WIDE PROHIBI.
 TON LAW ENFORCED
Liquor is Still Being Drunk in State but is Shipped in-Lit- tie Rock and Few Towns May Place Tax on Shipments.
By Clio Harper.

Little Rock, May 23-The state wide prohibition law is being enforc- ed. It has been demonstrated that it truly prohibits, notwithstanding the doubts that had been expressed by it's opponents.
 Liquor is still being drunk in the state, but it is shipped in by freight and express in large quantities. The law does not appear to reach that particular condition, but it is pre- dicted that among the laws first to be introduced will be measures to regu- late the shipment and delivery of in toXicants into the state
 Little Rock and a few other places rare considering the question of plac- ing tax upon liquor shipments, fol lowing the example set by Birming- ham. It is predicted that it would produce a very considerable revenue, that would in a measure offset the loss due to the withdrawal of the saloon license. Up to the present time, however, this has been only speculative, and no city has under taken to pass an ordinance.
 An outstanding feature of the Pro- hibition law, however, is the fact that it is being enforced. The Legislature has clearly declared that it is a felony to sell or give away liquor, and the Supreme Court has held that the law means just what it says. There have been numerous convictions of boot logging in Garland, Craighead, lief ferson, Greene, Miller, Pike and other countries, and the sentence is one year in each case The court has no discretion, unless it is to assess a longer term The law makes one year the minimum At Jonesboro nine men were sentenced to a year in the penitentiary, at one time, and some prominent club men have been given the limit at Hot Springs. There have been a number of indictments in Pulaski and other counties, and it is expected shat the business of boot logging will be made so unpopular that fewer will engage in it.
 The records at the state peniten- tiary show that about seventy con victs have been received already, each with one-year sentence for the il- legal sale of liquor. Nearly fifty of these have been received during the last thirty days, Fully three-fourths .of them are negroes.
 Circuit judges everywhere are in- structing juries to see that the law is rigidly enforced, and it has become as dangerous to sell whiskey or beer surreptitiously, in violation of the state law, as it has been for several years to violate the federal law by selling without a government license.

THREATENED STREET
 K. K. STRIKE AVERTED
Union is Recognized by Company
 Years Standing Harmony
 Acknowledgement Signed
 Victory for Organized Labor.

Little Rock, May 23.-The threat ened strike of street railway em- ployes in Little Rock has been avert ed. The union has been recognized by the company, and the harmony that had existed for many years, and was disturbed only short time, has been restored.
 At first, the ultimatum gave ' D.. m. Saturday as the hour when a strike would be ordered unless the company yielded to the demands of the men. Mayor c. E. Taylor exer- cised his good offices, and secured a delay until Monday evening at ', with a promise that in the meantime all parties would use every possible eff fort to get together.
 A director of the American Cities Company, of New Orleans, owners of the street railway company, came to Little Rock, and conferences were held during the day with the officials of the company and representatives of the employees and the Central Trades Council. It appeared that mo- body wanted a strike. A majority of the employees themselves were op- posed to it. The public did not want it. The street railway company was ready to make any proper concession to prevent it.
 Late Monday afternoon an agree ment was reached, and an agreement signed, which was a victory for or ganized labor. The Little Rock Rail way and Electric Company agreed to recognize the Amalgamated Associa- ton of Street and Electric Railway Employees, and to treat with their representatives; to reinstate the ten men who had been discharged because of their joining the union; to submit all future questions of suspension, discharge and grievances to the board of three arbitrators, one to be select ed by the company, one by the Asso- citation, and a third by these two; all employees to become members of the union; the wages and hours of work to remain as at present until Jan. 1, 1917, when a scale of 20 and 27 cents instead of 19 and 26 cents an hour shall be established; the contract is ot continue for two years, and at the expiration of that time may be re newed for another two years, upon terms to be determined upon by q board of arbitrators.
 The general attitude of the people is shown in the offer made by Labor Commissioner Clary as arbitrator in which he said: Prom experience we know it is much better to amicably adjust these things for strikes are costly to all parties. and engender bitter feeling. Besides, the public should be considered"
