Speech #480100261

I present what is iitended as a memorial. although it is addressed to me individually or officially. being a resolution of the Trades and Labor Assembly of the city of Saint Louis. composed of the representatives of the various labor organizations of that city. earnestly urging the passage of the bill to prohibit the importation of contract labor into the United States now before Congress and known as the Foran bill. and protesting against the ratificatiofi of the Spanish reciprocity treaty now before the Senate. I do not know whether the bill to prohibit the importation of contract labor has been reported from the Committee on Education and Labor. If it has not been. I ask that the memorial may be referred to that committee as a gentle reminder to them of the necessity of action.
