We have today probably all the needed sources of information to guide us in legislation on these topics. and in saying this I do not wish to be understood as antagonizing this bill by any means. I merely desire that it shall be amended in some important particulars. so as to give still more aid to the object sought to be accomplished. but I think the passage of this bill will not relieve the committee that had it in charge from introducing for passage something which is affirmative. Within the shadow of the Capitol. I understandI do not know whether it be so or notnative laborers have been driven from public works and their places supplied by Italians and others who came here under a system of contract labor.
