An act extending the principles of the miners certificate laws now in practice in the anthracite mines to the bituminous coal industry. 5. An act prohibiting the payment of compensation to sheriffs or other peace officers by private corporations. This should also prohibit the practice on the part of sheriffs of appointing deputies merely for the purpose of defeating workers in their economic struggle with employers by requiring public hearings before any such appointments to be made and proof being required that the appointments are essential to the actual preservation of the public peace and safety. 6.

An act eliminating unincorporated communities of the kind and character of Weirton, West Virginia.

It operates to the detriment of civil liberties and is used as an instrument to prevent all independent labor organization.
