MINING BILL
VOTE ASSURED
Chi-Id Labor Law Will Not Pro
hibit Children Working
On Farm.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 9.—L. H.
Moore, state secretary of the
Arkansas Federation of Labor
states that the work of securing
names to initiate the state min
ing board bill is about over, a
sufficient number of signatures
being now in sight to insure suc
cess. The agents of the Feder
ation who are in the field are now
circulating a bank guaranty act,
as well as child labor law peti
tion, and Secretary Moore hopes
to have both of them ready for
filing in time to permit them to
be voted upon.
There has developed a little j
opposition to the child labor law
through the circulation of the re
port ampng the farmers of the
state, that under it they cannot
work children under 14 years of
age on the farm. The bill will
not prohibit children under 14
from working on the farm of
their parents, and it is thought
that the law will not be constru
ed so as to prevent children
working in the fields during the
cotton picking time. The pur
pose of the law is to prevent the
working of children under 14
years of age in factories and
stores, and not to stop them be
ing worked at healthful outdoor
occupations, there seldom being
reported any cases of oppression
to children on the farms.
One of the objects of the child
labor bill is to prevent the stand
ing invitation of factories to
come to Arkansas, which has no
child labor law.

Life Term Convict Now Guard.
Little Rock, April 9.—Frank
Walker, life term convict from
Mississippi county, now a guard
at the penitentiary rock crush
er, again proved himself a crack
shot Tuesday evening when he
dropped Rafe Porter, a negro
who was endeavoring to escape,
after the negro had secured a
lead of 150 years. Walner used a
small calibre revolver, the bul
let striking the negro in the
back and ploughing around
against his rib. Porter is not
dangerously wounded and de
clares that he will make another
[attempt to escape as soon as he
:has recovered.
Porter was sent to the state
prison from Lincoln county to
serve a six year term for bur
glary. He pretended to be sick,
and when left in the “cull pen”,
used a crude drill to cut through
six inches of timber. He had a
hole of sufficient size to get his
head through when he was
caught. The prison rules pre
scribe a punishment for all who
attempt to escape, and Porter
was being led to the place of
punishment when he broke from
the guards and started to run.
He eluded several who tried to
stop him, and was running in the
clear when Walker was called to.
The convict guard fired twice,
both bullets taking effect.
