Gov. Brough's veto message in full is as follows:
 "I beg to return to you, with out my executive approval, House Bill No. 243, by MT. Porter of Boone county, and others, providing that Act No. 3 of the Acts initiated and adopted at the general cleo ton of the State of Arkansas. held September, 1914, and gen eraly known as 'The Publicity Act" be and the same is here by repealed and rendered null and void.
 'I vetoed a similar measure contained in House Bill No. 42, in 1917, and l have found no reason to change my mind with reference to the value of the Publicity Act. Act No. 2 of the Acts of 1915, known as the Publicity Act, was initiated by the people and made effective by the governors proclamation dated October 13, 1914.
 Tt is a very serious consti- tutional question as to whether acts initiated by the people should be repealed by the Gen aeral Assembly, without attach ing the referendum clause.

country and his State. It should be put before him in simple form, and then, if he does not study it, and seek to correct errors of administration the re- sponsibility would rest upon his shoulders. The United States government, during the great crisis through which we have just passed, appointed thousands of publicity agents and used the newspapers on every occasion. The newspapers were the largest factors in put ting down German propaganda in this country and making the German peace offensive an ignominous failure.
 Work of the Newspapers.
 Every patriotic citizen will bear me out in the statement that when our governments reasons for entering the war, applying the selective service system and launching praise worthy patriotic campaigns were explained, our citizens up held the administrative program and in cities, hooks and ham, lets entered into the war for liberty and democracy with the zest of their forefathers. It is also worthy of note that during the war the newspapers were called upon to make sac rificeS that cut to the quick. Particularly was this true ill the case of county newspapers having a limited circulation, whose columns were literally filled with government mater ial published by these news pa pers without money and with out price. President Wilson, our great philosopher president has cogently said: Publicity is one of the purifying elements of politics. The best thing that you can do with anything that is crooked is to hold it up where the people can see that it is crooked and then it will either

Little Rock, Dec. 30.-Attorney General J. D. Arbuckle has received letter from Attorney General A Mitchell Palmer, of the United States expressing regret at having been fore ed to cancel his appointment to speak in Little Rock on the 18th. He adds:
 q would be afraid at this time to set a date on which I could be in Lit- tie Rock. Conditions at Washington are so unsettled that I feel it is un- safe for me to promise to be away from Washington at least for few months"
 He says he is confident much good would have resulted from the meeting which was called for Little Rock in the interest of the campaign being conducted by him against the high cost of living.

 ROUNDED UP
Ringleaders Accused of Murder in First Degree.-Deaths in New England Over Three Score.

New York, Dec 29.- One of the biggest roundups of bootleggers and manufacturers of illicit liquor ever made in this country is impending as result of the wave of deaths and blindness which has followed the sale of poisoned liquor, Daniel L. Porter, supervising revenue agent for the New York district, announced today.
 Tn addition to the three men al- ready in custody here as result of the sale and distribution of liquor be- lieved to be responsible for three-score deaths in New England and this city, MT. Porter declared ten more persons would be arrested here during the day.
 Evidence already in hand is suf- ficient, MT. Porter said, to hold Adolph Panarelli, a Manhattan wine and liquor dealer John Romanelli, a Brooklyn undertaken, and Samuel K. Saleeby, Brooklyn druggist, the all legged principals in the distribution of poisonous liquor in New England, on charges of first degree murder. The men are being held incommunicado during the 48 hours which will elapse before they are arraigned before a United States Commissioner.
 Bail of $5O,OOO for immediate re- lease of Panarelli already has been refused, MT. Porter said.
 When the men are arraigned, Mir. Porter declared hp would ask the commissioner to set the bail at $50,- GOO for each defendent.
 Twenty revenue agents today made careful search of the premises on Bleecker Street occupied by Panar- elli and took away with them every thing that would have the slightest bearing on the case.

|GOMPERS OBJECTS AGAINST PROGRAM
Says the Workers Must Choose Their Own Env0ys and Char ges Anti Uni0nism. -C0mpul- sory Feature Attacked.

Washington, Dec 29.- Suggestions of the presidents industrial confer ence for the settlement of labor unrest drew the fir today of organized labor in the first of the public discussions invited by the commission in it's re- port published today
 Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, said the failure of the conference to rec ognize definitely the organizations of workers-trade unions-as the basis for representation was fatal omis- sion; while Frank Morrison, secretary of the federation, noting the absence of reference by the conference to col lective bargaining or the necessity for organizations of workers, said anyone who would avert or postphone indus trial conflicts could not ignore these principles
 Mir. Gompers declared the commits sion should reconsider the question of definite recognition of trade unions "in order to make possible the confi- dence and cooperation of wage earn through organization of their own making"
 Any plan to establish or maintain anything like fair relations between workers and employers must avoid compulsory features" he declared. "Any proposal for compulsory labor is repugnant to American sovereignty and citizenship"
 Mr. Morrison said the declaration against government employees joining the American Federation of Labor would indicate that the commission has been affected by the temporary wave of anti-unionism.
 "The statement" he added, "offers no hope to lovers of industrial peace who see the necessity of abolishing autocracy in industry and giving em- ployes direct voice in their working conditions.
 "It is no solution to empower the president and cabinet official to se- lect representatives of workers to ad- just disputes. The workers must have this power themselves"

NO AGREEMENT
 ON TREATY YET
Series of Informal Conferences Among Senators is Without Results.-King Introduces A New Set of Reservations.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 29.-Bun- dies of olive branches and flocks of peace doves in countless senatorial conferences today failed to accelerate progress even slightly in the direction of a compromise on the peace treaty.
 The conferences were largely be- tween individuals, with leaders con spicuously absent. Senator Hitchcock, Democratic leader, was i'll and Senator Underwood, aspirant for Mir. Hitch- cocks job, was away. Senator Lodge remained at home during the day.
 Senator King of Utah, was the most active compromiser. He pulled out bright new set of reservations, patterned somewhat along the lines of the Lodge program, but carefully dis guised in several places with changed phraseology, and laid them before the mild reservationists" and some of his Democratic colleagues.
 Some of the Democrats, such as Ransdall and Gay of Louisiana, thought MT. Kings reservations fair ly acceptable, but the mild reserva- tionists promptly stamped them unsat- isfactory. Senator King admitted that it appeared wellnigh impossible to frame compromise on Article X.
 Senator Lodge expects to confer to- morrow with Senator Pomerene, one of the Democrats who voted for ratifi- cation with the Lodge program. The arrangement of this conference ap- parently has been the only visible re- suit of the mild reservationists' clamor for Senator Lodge to show more activity in negotiating com promise.
 Senators McNary and Nelson, Re publicans, and Bankhead and King, Democrats, signed petition today at the request of a delegation of Wash ington ministers, urging ex-President Taft to make speech in favor of compromise on January in the Lib- erty Hut, which is located beside the capitol.
 MT. Taft had piece in the papers today assailing the irreconcilables, particularly Senator Borah. When asked to comment Senator Borah said:
 'sI always make it a point never to handle political mummies-T might get dusty"
 There was report in circulation that Senator Underwood had at last
