Mr.. OVERSTREET: l believe that pro-

trouble. III persons want 70 practice decep'
zion they would be apt to do so before sub

get IN their dirty work.
Mr. DRAKE: This is au exact copy OF the
present aw down 10 the word provided -
The object Is TO give opportunity for laborng
neD 20 go TO the polls, and not have to lose

RES that men must lose al day II they lose
nour or two IN going to the polls.
Mr.. BROWN: This bill is for the con-
veDience Of workers in large manufacturing

copy OF the law in Ohio.

is unnecessary and dangerous There are no
manufactures. as far as I know, but give

poses undue haste, when we consider the
