qualify or condition the rights that you set out

problem if you tried to develop a sophisticated comprehen-

that this has been the case in Missouri where they started
out with a Constitutional provision similar to that
suggested here and have gone on since to enact a little
Wagner Act or a little Labor Relations Act for employees
within the State.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions?
Delegate Wagandt.
DELICATE WAGANDT: Delegate Bothe, this would
