Iread it as bearing upon the question whether there is any unhealthy competition brought aboutby the importation of suih labor under contract. Mr. Smith says. addressing myself: Thirtyfive hundred flintglass workers urge you to press the passage of the contractlabor bill. We bave been made to feel the evil effect of contract labor. Thirty Bohemian chimneymakers have recently been brought from Nova Scotia under contract to work for S1 per day. when the labor of the American workmen whom they displace ought to be worth 54 per day. These men from Nova Scotia find their way across the line in competition with the American workmen in the same branch of business.
