In consequence of the fact that House bill No. 2550 was reported from the same committee. being a bill to prohibit the immigration and importation of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor. the committee in preparing this bill. perhaps from an oversight. put in no provision relating to that subject. I therefore propose to ask the committee to accept an ameidment to the pending bill which will include in its operation the collecting of information concerning the immigration and importation of laborers and their employment in this country. my purpose being to have embodied in the report of this bureau of statistics information upon that subject. it being of a like nature to most of the matters embraced within the jurisdiction and control of the bureau to be created by this bill.
