for 90 days Word of the decision to attach an emergency preamble to the measure came 'ate yesterday after opponents to the act had started a petition in circulation for a state referendum on the measure The referendum would be placed on the ballot at the November election Besides invoking the referendum the petition if completed by filing 15000 signatures before September 27 would have automatically held up operation of the law from that when it was scheduled to go into until at least 30 days after the November election An adverse vote on the law by a majority of the voters would moan of course that the law was void Governor action in declaring the law an emergency measure while not blocking any referendum next November means that the filing of a referendum petition cannot serve to suspend operation of the act Opponents of the act still have recourse to a referendum petition seeking repeal at the November election The emergency preamble attached to the measure by the governor sets forth that to defer operation of the law would result "in serious consequences to the marketing of milk would unsettle the industry and cause citizens pro-alike whose intent of the law
