Legislature Is In Rush To Adjourn Session Saturday (Continued from page one) A move wai made to repeal part | of the existing labor laws after a committee had killed labor law pro- j posals. A varied program features the work of the legislature this week, t>ut the new laws are not of any great public interest. The Senate yesterday passed a law requiring dealers in scrap tobacco to pay a $500 license, but farmers delivering di jrect to the dealer are not required to buy a license. The creation of a I new department, possibly for Mr. A IJ Maxwell, is being proposed. The | new department would handle re- ! I search and statistical work. North I Carolina has a rich tax background for research all right. A three-man commission is being proposed for the study of trade schools for boys be- I tween 16 and 22 years of age. A bill ; was passed last night restricting the | shipment and sale of livestock to control contagious livestock dis eases. Another would require per iodic reports on milk bought, trans ferred, sold and distributed. And Still another would permit absentee , voting by young men in military ; $o~V0 IXB~KJ80ffir following a hearing before the Fi nance committee this afternoon, the liquor referendum bill is hanging by j string in the legislative halls.

The Wets are having their turn this afternoon.
