FAvoRs CHILD LABOR LAW.
Hon. J. R. Wood Talks of Forth
 coming Legislation.


 Hon. J. R. Wood of Tuskegee. who was cd legislation by the forthcoming session of the Alabama Legislature, to regulate child labor.
 This statement from MT. Wood is im- portant in view of his candidacy for the Speakership of the House of Represen- tatives.
 MT. Wood said he felt encouraged over the situation and added that he was re- ceiving letters from all parts of the State endorsing his stand for the election of Railroad Commissioners by the people.
 Asked as to his position on the child labor legislation that is proposed to be enacted at the approaching session of the Legislature, he said he had noticed the inquiries addressed to the candidates for Speaker in regard to the matter and would say that he was individually in fa- vor of such a law.
 T do not believe" said Mir. Wood, that it is right to allow children under t2 years of age to work in factories and 1t should he prevented by law. If elected Speaker I will see that the matter is giv- en fair and just consideration. All bills sent to committees should be fairly acted on and the bills stand or fall on their merits in the House. All questions should be considered in fair and open way. I am not in favor of any radical legislation on the railroad. child labor or any other question. but I propose to be fair and open in my dealing with legis- Iation and believe the people are entitled to that much consideration from these chosen to represent them.'
