LABOR BUREAU.
The rWaddiD bill TO establish {
bureau Of labor, and appoint labo
commissioner came mp on motion to re-
consider the vote by which the Hous'
refused 10 engross the bill.
Mr. Cardwell Mr. Ryan in the chair
hoped the House would reconsider. HI
said that she had been rather unfortunat'
of late in some of the reports that have
been made in the papers OF what h,
said. and only desired at this time t.
correct the report of his remarks on yes
terday in advocacy OF this measure tina
appeared in the morning papers. III
was made TO say that the bill offered by
the gentleman from HeDrico was TIN
best bill that had come before the HOus'
at this session, when in point of fact M
said nothing OF the kind What he sale
was that the subject under consideration
was one OF the most important that haC
been or would be brought to the atten
ton of the Legislature at its present ses
sion. Regarding both the original bil
offered by Mr. Waddill and the substi
tute offered by Mr.. lyle, Of Richmond
imperfect, he desired the whole subjec
to be recommitted 10 the committee
where conflicting views could if possible
be harmonized and bill as perfect a,
the committee could make it reported
back to the House, that the subject nigh
have the consideration that it deserved.
Mr.. Buford hoped the House would
reconsider.
Mr.. Figgat said he had made the mo
ton to reconsider in good faith, anC
trusted tho House would do it because h
had substitute to offer.
Mr.. Lyon q. Tyler was of similar
opinion the present measure was faulty
such a law was of importance, and he
was so strongly in favor of it that he haC
voted for the bill with all it
faults, after his own proposed sub
stitue was rejected He claimed
that such laws had been enacted
in fifteen other States, and in all sucl
there was thrift and prosperity. H'
wanted to see Virginia go ahead. HI
was tired of seeing Virginia behindhand
He hoped the bill would be reconsidereC
and recommitted.
Mr.. Waddill favored reconsideration
but not recommittal.
Mr.. Pedigo (Republican) said he haC
been unfortunate in getting into tn
newspapers. He not only favoted the in
terests of labor, but he was lahore
himself, and, in the language OF thu
blacksmith, be had said yesterday lou
toags will not take hold of such fer,
subject, and the paners had said lou
tongues" &c. Tie bill was undoubtedly
buncombe measure, and could not pos
sibly become a law, and the buncomb'
