The bin created a lively discussion
Smith opening the bali by strongly op,
posing 1t. He said he was opposed Il
farming out to Commissions the en-
forcenent of Our penal laws. There
are plenty of county officers elected Il
carry out the law and the courts are
open to aggrieyed persons. He did mo-
| IKE any DilI lndL oiIEtCN G JiGHAQiH 1t
| persons to stir matters in regard Il
which the general public is not interest
ed and in which the parties interested
do not care enough TO move, to brine
their cases into court. The bill was
wrong, both in theory and principle
Boyce replied that what is every
body's business is nobody's business
There We're many cases where Distric
Attorneys did not enforce the law be
cause il would interfere with their pol
iticaI aspirations and the proposed Law
was intended to stir up such officials.
Bulla strongly opposed the bill also
He did not believe it necessary ant
thought it wrong Existing laws fully
cover the ground and only need to b.
enforced in order to protect the right!
Of all
Wilmington also opposed it. The peo
pie of his part Of the State knew moth
ing Of the Labor Commissioners and nei
ther they nor anyone else had heard O
him except through the columns of th'
Examiner"
S 3. 10 by Hall. to provide for th'
employment of citizens of the Unitet
States on public works within thi!
State brought on another discussion.
Smith opposed il, especially Section
>. which gives the Labor COMMISSIONS
power to enforce the law. He was op
posed to the whole law as bad and un
. necessary.
Bula was also opposed to Section >
) but not to the other parts of the bill
1t was carrying OFT the principle O
protection. We should provide for on
own citizens and let the rest of th'
world take care Of its own.
