Since Congress so wisely prohibited the immigration of Chinese. the greatest difficulty that now seems to exist in the labor fields of this country is such as arises from the importation of contract labor. There are difficulties now in the State of Pennsylvania growing out of that. It must be said for most of the manufacturers and business men in this country that they are utterly hostile to any scheme looking to the importation of contract labor. But while that is true of the great mass of the manufacturers and producers. there are some among them who are willing to adopt such means for the purpose of carrying on their business and perhaps competing with their more fortunate rivals in the markets of the country. I for one believe in the great system of protecting American industries. and I will never hold out a false hope to the laborers of my country.
