Speech #590159250

In the second place I want to suggest that in such parts of this report as there is a variation from existing law. It should all be printed in italics. because there is such a mass of it that It will be impossible for one. except at very great cost of time and labor. to compare it with existing law word for word to see whether there has been any change made. I may be entirely mistaken. but it seemed to me. in listening to the report as it was read at the desk. that there were some very material changes made in existing law in the matter of the regulations regarding contract labor. While the words were comparatively few they were very material in their signification and in the changes made. I may be entirely in error as to that. but it is absolutely necessary. in order that we shall be able to turn to the prompt consideration of this measure. that we should have all the assistance which can be given by the suggestion I have made. to enable us to compare the original act with the act as proposed. so as to be able definitely to determine the changes which are made in this bill as it is reported as an entirety.
