Speaker. I claim the floor on a question of privilege. I want to inform this House that there are now reported and on the Calendar. a bill creating a department of labor. two bills providing for the protection of the honest labpr of this country against convict labor. two bills to protect the citizens of this country against alien labor. a bill to protect the civilians of this country in certain places againstthe competition of enlisted men. a bill to extend the scope of the eighthour law so as to embrace the lettercarriers throughout the United States. and a bill to send to the Court of Claims the claims of fourteen thousand men in this country for money owing to them by the Government. Are those seven bills small and unimportant? I tell these gentlemen. you have talked out this morning hour. you have accomplished your purpose. and you have simply been the toolthe toolthat has been used for that purpose.
