ALIEN CONTRACT LAW.

The alien contract law is shown by
experience to need some amendment; a
measure providing better protection for
seamen is proposed; the rightful appli-
cation of the S-hour law for the Lene-
fit of labor and of the principle of arbi-
tration are suggested for consideration;
and / commend these subjects TO the
careful attention of the Congress.
The several departmental reports VII
be laid before you. They give in great
detail the conduct of the affairs Of the
Government during The past year, and
discuss many questions upon which
the Congress may feel called upon "a
act.
