10000 MAY BE IDLE Rv Asssnjatsh Rysas

New York, January 31.--Forty thousand textile workers in central New York may be thrown out of work Monday, as the result of a deadlock which developed today in the confer ence called by Governor Smiths re- construction commission to settle the controversy over an eight-hour day, 1t was announced tonight. Refusal of the Harmony mills at Cohoes to &C., cept a compromise was blamed for tho hitch by Mrs. Henry Moskowitz, secre- tary of the commissions industrial re- lations committee.
 The compromise suggestion, which was taken under advisement by rep- resentatives of the union and the mill owners after an all-day conference with the commission in Albany yester day, provided that for a period of two weeks the mills be run on an eight hour basis for five days a week in- stead of the present 10-hour schedule for four days a week. Tho workers are demanding an eight-hour day and 44-hour week. According to Mrs. Moskowitz, refusal of the Harmony mills made disposition of the com promise impossible. as other mill own CTS were willing to accept 1t only on condition that the system apply to all mills in the state.
 Unless some agreement is reached by Monday, she declared. the workers will go to the mills. work for eight hours and quit. The mill owners then would shut down the mills. she said.

Senator Gunter Would Make Habitual Drunkenness One of Grounds for
 Divorce

Montgomery, January 31.-Spe- cial.)-Senator Gunter of MOntgom- cry Friday asked the legislature to make several changes in section 3783 of the Alabama code of 1907. this section relating to dfvorces granted to either man or woman. Senator Gunter would make habit < IuaI drunken mess one of the grounds
 for divorce.
 The court of chancery has power to divorce persons from the state of matri- money, upon a bill filed by the ag- grieved party, for the following causes: l.

 ADVERSE REPORT
 The house bill of Mir. Cobbs of Mo- bile, relating to the proper return of subpoenas to witnesses, Friday was re- ported adversely by the senate commit tee, which has had it since it's adop- tion in the house several days ago.. It is very probable the bill now will die on the adverse calendar.
 The title of the bill is: To provide for a proper return of subpoenas to witnesses and to fix the liability of the sheriff for failure or service.
 The vocational measure of Senator Carmichael of Colbert was reported fa vorably by the education committee Friday. The bill probably will be on the calendar of the senate for Monday afternoon, when the two. houses meet again. A favorable report also was ma< on the workmeRs compensation bill of MT. Leith in the senate.
