DRY AMENDMENT TO
CONSTITUTION FAILS

VVts~H uAVAu 1Ab60
The proposed prohibition amend.
ment to the State Constitution will
not be given a place on the ballot
in the November election this year,
it was announced by Secretary of
State James H. Kerby at Phoenix,
Monday.
In order to have placed the pro-
position on the ballot the sponsors
should have had total of 1928
names in order to initiate it. The
petitions had only 14,821 names,
OF GOT short of the goal.
The measures which will appear
on the ballot are:
A referendum of H. B. 1914 pro-
viding for an amendment to the
workmens compensation act allow
ing employees to exercise the option
awarded by the industrial commits
sion or suing the employer. This
was referred by the legislature.
A constitutional amendment spon-
sored by the Forward Arizona Asso-
citation providing for limitation
on state and county taxes. Five
hundred sixteen petitions contain
ing $3.50 signatures were filed to
place this on the ballot.
An initiative measure providing
for school fund apportionment,
sponsored by the Arizona Educa-
ton Association and Rep. Bert c.
Armstrong. This was signed by H.
1874 persons, 1872 petitions being pre-
sented.
An initiative measure providing
for board of control and consol-
idating bodrds and commissions.
Three hundrd fifteen petitions were
filed with 11,7Se names attached.
For Control Board
1t would pre- lie for a board of
control composed of the governor,
the attorny-general and the secre-
tary of state and for consolidation
of the highway and fair commits
'5ions and the land and welfare
boards.
In explaining why the proposed
prohibition amendment would not
be on the ballot, Mr.. Kerby wrote to
o. r. Weed, Glendale, a leader in
the Arizona prohibition movement,
that "you are still GOT names short
of the required number there
fore your said constitutional amend
ment will not appear on the ballot" "
Mr.. Kerby said the constitution
is definite in its provision that "any
proposed constitutional measure
shall contain Is per cent of the
total vote cast for governor at the
last preceding general election" or
1923 names.
The prohibitionists submitted A.
765 names on S62 petitions July 3,
and an additional 56 names were
received Monday postmarked July
July 3.
The amendment would have pro-
hibited "the introduction into, man
ufacture of, sale, exchange, gift,
barter, disposition, transportation
or possession in the state of Ari-
zona Of any ardent spirits, ale, beer,
wine or intoxicating liquors of any
kind"

Decision to Quit Congress
sionaI Race Leaves Law
Suits in Air.

The announcement that Representa-
tive Marion A. Zioncheck has with
drawn from the congressional race in
his native state of Washington created
something of disturbance today In
legal circles here. where criminal
proceeding and civil suit are pending
against the playboy legislator.
Zioncheck's withdrawal leaves nine
aspirants, four Republicans and five
Democrats. fighting for his job. He
said his mothers serious illness led to
his decision not to seek reelection.
If zioncheck does not return to the
Capital he probably will lose $25
posted as collateral to insure his ap-
pearance at a hearing set for next
January II on warrant charging he
assaulted his landlady Mrs. Benjamin
Scott (Pamela Schuyler) Young. It
was indicated the charge probably
would be dropped upon forfeiture Of
the collateral.
Car Held Pending Suit.
OF more importance to Zioncheck,
however, Is a civil suit filed by Mrs.
Young to recover damages for the
alleged destruction of her furniture in
an apartment she rented to the legis-
lator and his bride. A deputy mar
shal seized Zioncheck's expensive
roadster and is holding it pending the
outcome of this litigation. Should
Zioncheck fail to return to this city
the car will be sold to satisfy Mrs.
Young's claims, unless the case is
settled out of court. Attorneys in
dicated today that the case probably
will be settled.
In addition to his landlady troubles,
Zioncheck was arrested for speeding
and held for a sanity investigation
during his turbulent stay in Washing
ton. He returned to his home State
after escaping from a Maryland in
stitution.
Charges Persecution.
In announcing his withdrawal from
the congressional race, zioncheck
said

views are out of step with the ad-
ministration leaders in Washington,

be depended upon to carry on their

Take the men who are making

some highly skilled workers would get

come to work Saturday and Sunday
and maybe Monday. The company
would maybe put them back to COM
mon labor for two or three months
to teach them a lesson, then give
them their old jobs back. The men
don't do that now. They hang on
to their jobs. They want the work" !"
But what about a strike? Is there
going to be one? Not unless every
body goes, Steve insisted. Nobody
wants to 60 first.
Rumors Add to Jitters.
What about Aliquippa, he wants to
know. He hears they're expecting a
strike there. Is it true that they're
putting up barbed-wire baricades?
Aliquippa is almost 80 miles from
Homestead and 20 miles below Pitts

site of the biggest group Of mills Of
the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co., one
of the largest and strongest of the in
