TO ASK TEXTBOOK LAW Labor problems In their nsual abundance will come before the Legislature for solution when that body convenes In January, according to present indications. Tbs State Federation of Labor haa a very definite legislative program, but at tbe same time it Is apparent that other persona Interested In labor tvlil seek to have enacted legislation which they believe will benefit the working man. Among the proposals made by this latter group la a bill seeking to prohibit nonresidents of the State to hold positions as strlkebr'akers or private detectires during labor tronblos and requiring persons holding such positions to wear badges. Officials of the Federation of Labor emphatically deny they hnve anything to do with such a proposal. They admit that they are Interested In the sense that they are Interested in anything affecting labor, but they say they would not push the passage of a bill of this nature. TPEYKn DOITS nr convention. Such a proposal was made at the last State convention of the Federation of Labor at Evansville, hut It was turned down after considerable discussion. The legislative reference bureau declared it has knowledze that a bill containing the provisions set out is in the process of preparation, but It oeellnes tj make pub 11c the names of the sponsors.

dastrial court. Such a court would bo along the line* of the one now in existence in Kansas. The Kansas court has created considerable Interest and many expressions have been made for and against it. Officials of the Federation of Labor declare they will bend every effort to prevent the enactment of a law creating a State body to settle industrial disputes. One sfficcr of the organization declared that “an industrial const will prevent strikes just like an injunction mines coal.” Organized labor, while it has a very definite legislative program. Is proposing no radical changes In most respects anu Is standing for exactly what it has stood for in every session In recent years. LAWS TO BE ASKED BY LABOR FEDERATION. The State federations program calls for a laV providing an eight-hour working day for women, n mothers’ pension law, a free text-book law, a constitutional convention, and amendments to the industrial commission act. Women's eight-hour laws and mothers' pension laws have been discussed In nearly every regular session. The free text-book bill wUI, in all probability, attract more attention this year than It has attracted heretofore. Others beside labor lenders have been considering seriously the enactment of a law providing free text-books for school chUdren. This question has been discussed by the State board of education and has brought forth considerable favorable comment. Friends of this proposed legislation believe such a law would prevent considerable hardship among poorer persons and that It would do much to eliminate textbook manipulation and the difficulty In obtaining books. The question of a constitutional convention 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 a convention the question has almost ceased to be considered. This is probably due largely to the fact that prohibitionists and suffragists, the strongest advocates of anew constitution, have ob-
