Speech #500108080

This bill passed the House on the 19th of June. 1884. The bill was sent to the Senate. where it was referred to the Coimittee on Education and Labor. It was reported back at an early day. and repeated but fruitless efforts made to secure consideration of it u ntil in February. 1885. when itfinally passed that body. I ask every intelligent workingman in the country to examine without prejudice this record. and if he does not come to the conclusion that those who f pheld this law for the importation of contract labor for so many years were not his friends. I shall doubt his ability to select them.
