Yet one gentleman who appeared before the committee. whose statement is embraced in these hearings and upon whose statement in part the increases in this glass schedule has been made. is now engaged in a controversy with the United States Government. in which he is charged with having imported contract laborers in violation of law. As so much has been said about labor here. as so great a pretense is made that gentlemen here are actuated solely by their interest in the laborer. let us see what were the facts in that case.
