LIouoR FoRCEs NOT WHIPPED.
Despite Defeat of Act No. 2, It Is Ex-
 pected They Will Keep Trying.

Little Rock. Nov. i6,--Altho the defeat of Act No. ?, branded by many as the most pernieious piece of legislation ever proposed in the state. was most overwhelming and decisive, it has not settled the liquor laws of Arkansas While liquor men are left with scarce a leg to stand upon it is predicted that from time to time they will make an effort to drive wedge into the pro- hibition situation. They are still doing that even in bone-dry Kansas and Maine.
 Among the laws that will be pro- posed in the next legislature will be one to limit the amount of liquor, alcholic and otherwise, that can be shipped into the state to any one purchaser during a stated period. There has been law of this eharac- ter in Oregon, and by the recent election even the limited importa- tion of liquor has been prohibited in that state.
 Liquor shops in Louisiana, Ten nessee, and Missouri have been do- ing a thriving business in Arkansas The express companies and rail- roads have been bringing in great quantities. In some places ordi- |nances have been proposed or passed providing for inspection fees on shipments of liquor. Such a law was declared unconstitutional after collections had been made in Bates vile for some months. It has been suggested in Little Rock, but has never been attempted by the coun- cil. It is probable that a bill will be introduced in the legislature per miting municipalities to levy such fee. The decisive vote on the liquor act last week has demon strated that prohibition is popular in Arkansas. It is the cleanest-cut victory that has ever been won for prohimition in the state, and the slogan Let the People Rule,' has been thoroly vindicated.

WAR
 ALMOST CERTAIN
Vast Organization of Employers IS Forming to Resist Adamson S- Hour Law-Sam GOmperS
 Makes Statement.

New York. Nov. l6.-Prospeets Of tine greatest industrial struggle in history in the capital and labor slt- uation, arising from the railroads determination to operate under the present conditions, in spite of the Adamson s-Hour Law. started in the formation of vast organization oi employers. to be known as Nation al Industrial Conference Board This new body, representing eight billion dollars in capital and employing million persons, proposes that ln- dustrial legislation be watched more closely, that legislators shall be guided by public information and that favoritsm to labor shall be eliminated. It will fight such meas ures as the Adamson Law.
 It is believed that the election showed no controlled and depend- able labor vote and hence legislators hereafter, need not cury favor with labor leaders as they claim has been done in the past.
 The significance of the new align ment increased with the receipt of word in the United Press dispatches from Baltimore that the Brother hoods will join to enforce the S-hour day in all industries-not by legis- lation but by force of organized la bor.
 The railroads kept up their pre- paration for trying to prevent oper- ation of the Adamson law. More suits, covering all lines and all dis tricts, will be submitted to courts all over the nation in the next few days.
 It was apparent in railroad cir eles today, that the managers have virtually given up the hope of com ing to terms with the Brotherhood chiefs, altho they said The latch string is out for the men and their representatives"
 The managers conference has ad- iourned. Another meeting may be called next week, however, it was said.
 One of the leading railroad man. agers says he knows nothing about "a reported conference with the pres ident.
