LEGISLATURE PROBABLY
DENVER, Colorado, Jan 2
Having nursed republican control of two years ago, democrats have a majority of one in the senate and at least thirteen in the house of the Colorado legislature which convened today. There will be one woman member of the senate and probably a woman member in the house after contest is decided.
The chief fight at this session probably will center around proposed amendments to the industrial law. Labor objects to certain clauses of the law especially the one compelling thirty days notice before strike can be called.
Prohibition legislation will also hold an important place. The dry law may be strengthened by bills prohibiting shipment of liquor into the state and making it a criminal offense to have liquor in one's possession regardless.
