It can do this harm: Anynumberof suits may be commenced against steamship companies which are entirely innocent of.any intention or desire to evade the law or do any illegal act. and from the sole illustration I have statedthere may be otherswe find that this is not operative as against all steamship lines. and. therefore. why make an invidious distinction in the law as against ships coming to our own ports and in favor of those going to Canadian ports when the law itself does not cover the immigrant coming here under the conditions the Senator has spoken of so often?
