LAWS TO BE ASKED
BY LABOR FEDERATION.
The State federations program calls
for a law providing an eight-hour work
ing day for women, n mothers pension
law, a free textbook law, a constitutions
convention. and amendments to the in
dustriaI commission act.
Women's eighth hour laws and mothers
pension laws have been discussed in
nearly every regular session. The free

has attracted heretofore. Others beside
labor leaders have been considering seri-
ously the enactment of a law providing
free textbooks for school children. This
question has been discussed by the State
board Of education and has brought
forth considerable favorable comment.
Friends Of this proposed legislation be-
lieve such a law would prevent consider
able hardship among poorer persons and
that It would do much to eliminate text
book manipulation and the difficulty in
obtaining books.
The question of a constitutional con-
vention has become perennial and It is
a matter Of considerable doubt whether
labor's demand for such a convention will
be given any considerable attention.
Since the failure OF the Legislature TO
make bullet proof provisions for such 4
convention the question has almost
ceased to be considered. This is prob
ably due largely to the fact that prohi-

that they are interested in the sense that
they are interested in anything affecting

TURNED DOWN

Such a proposal was made at the last
State convention of the Federation of
Labor at Evansville, but It was turned
down after considerable discussion. The
