 Alabama has suffered frox6exfA c activity of tho labor agenta buf not to such a great extent per- haps. as some of the other South. ern states. Georgia is said to have been the chief sufferer, and 1t is claimed that many thousands of Georgia negroes have abandoned farm and other work in that state as a result of the activity of labor agents. A great many negroes also have gone from Alabama Workers have been snticed from their jobs and homes to northern industrial centers by alien labor agents. and the law which thi. state has adopted will tend to pre- vent the number from being in- creased by future activities of the agents. Not only will negro work CTS be protected in their tasks by the Alabama law. but 1t also will afford protection to white workers, who are often urged bv labor agents to go to other states for employment.

a
 A bill has been introduced n the house by Representative c. R. Werner of Tuscaloosa to permit Oscar W. Underwood, Alabama d candidate for president, to select through the state executive com J mittee those who will represert| the state at the national conven ] tion. In the first place, adoptic n| of such measure would be a tacid admission of weakness, of a fear that Alabama Is not solidly behind her ''favorite son." And in thd second place, the Werner measure is one drafted to fit a particular | time and circumstance. and such bits of Legislation seldom hold water Times and circumstance change, and while the Werner bill might apply very well to the Un derwood candidacy, 1t might prov very embarrassing thing in flu ture campaigns. For instancd some Alabamian, and a weak ma at that, one without the grea backing which Underwood nos has. might be the only citizen u Alabama to offer as presidential candidate. Under the terms of tn Werner measure. he would be en titled to the solid support of th entire Alabama delegatioa.
