 Mr Reddow-Mr. President, when the Committee on the Executive Depart n1ent made their report, l TOT one: w@1
 a whole. l am oYse of the delegates from the larg- @et County in the State of AlaSama' ana within whose domains there are more laborers than I suppose any three other counties of the State. After tnls yenort of the Committee on the Execu five Department had been printed ana rot into the hands of my constltuehts' members of this Convention oeS@h U receive communications from the va. ,ions labor organizations througnouI fhe State. opposing the section as Te- -.or.ed hv the Committee.
