 Hartford, April S.-After appar- ently adopting the resolution from the 1917 session, which proposed & constitutional amendment for state wide prohibition, enough members switched their votes to reject it. so that the resolution failed of passa ge today by two votes. The vote was: whole number 219; necessary to carry 146; yes IA; no 75. Lost by two as a two- thirds vote is necessary to carry proposed constitutional amendment

Humor That L. 5. Might Get Carib- bean Possessions Is Merely
 Idle Gossip.

Panama April 7.-The recent rumor that the United States might obtain title to the Islands of Saint Andrews and Old Providence, in the Caribbean, off the Nicaraguan coast, had it's orig in in the unofficially expressed wish of Hoffman Philip, United States minister at Bogota that the islands might be leased, according to a statement made by Santiago Herras, fiscal agent of Columbia, while visit ing the islands recently. He said that no such action had been taken and that nothing could be done until the Colum bia congress should revise the constitution, which forbids the alienation of national possessions

Impetus to Arbitration.

1t is reasonable to suppose that the
success Of the war labor board In
dealing with labor disputes during the
war will give impetus to the move
ment for compulsory arbitration in
this country. The demand for peace
full settlement of Industrial disputes
has grown of late years, and the ex-
perience through which the country Is
now passing shows that equal Justice
can be assured for all the interested
parties, including the public, by arbi-
tration. The tremendous loss Of pro-
ductiofl and sacrifice Of wages, to say
nothing Of the lawlessness which fire.
quently results from strike or lock-
out, can be avoided by the submission
of controyerted questions to an I'M
prejudiced tribunal for settlement.
That Is the plan which, it is proposed
shall be adopted with relation to in
ternational disputes hereafter and
capital and labor may well take the
lead in applying it to their own dis
agreements. Exchange.

EIGHT HOUR DAY SCIENTIFIC
Ha cen Proved by Experiments to
: Best Results Both to En-

A #cent decision of the war labor
boardI upholds the eight-hour day in
industrial plants except in case Of
emergency and provides that the Ques-
tion of emerge ty must be determined
by d committee representing employer
and employees That decision is a
war measure" of very great import
ance. Three commissions composed of
scientists Of the highest scholarship
and character have made reports on
that Subject in England. One was a
commission on efficiency, one on SAM
tation and one that devoted itself ex-
clusively to the investigation of
fatigue All of these came to the
conclusion that under an eight-hour
day more goods can be produced than
by working men longer time. For
some. weeks there can be a greater
output, by working men ten hours a
day, but the after effects are so
deleterious that in the end there is
reduction in the product. 1t is the
first time that scientific investigation
was made of fatigue, and reaction
from it." and some of the conclusions
were astonishing to medical men, but
the profession has universally accept
