The next great topic is "strikes. their causes. effects. and remedies." That is what no man ever knew. The nman who gets up the history of strikes and is enabled to determine their causes and effects and remedies will be a greater man than any man or any body of men or any committee of ien that has ever yet assembled in the Parliament of Great Britain or in the Congress of the United States. I do not suppose if we were to live here as abody for thenext hundred years to come and every man in this body were to get brighter every day he lived. that at the end of this century you would be able to comprehend anl explain what we require from this bureau of labor statistics: "strikes. their causes. effects. and remedies." Then. again. added to that "full statistics relating to the immigration .ind importation of laborers and their employment." That has got to be an important subject. Here is a bill reported from this same Committee on Education and Labor which requires that a man shall not be allowed to import a laborer from abroad under a contract. express or implied. unless it is for some purpose of menial service. In order to keep the American laborer in control of the American labor market the committee have served notice upon us of a bill they expect to move in the Senate that no man under very heavy penalties shall be permitted to make a contract with any laborer abroad. either an express or implied contract. to be executed in this country. for the laborer to come here in consequence of or in pursuance of a contract.
