It is quite possible. of course. that the bill is not perfect. It would not be a human work if it had not some imperfection. but it represents the best labor of an earnest committee and of the officers of the Department. Our object has been to secure an effectual law for the prohibition of the importation of alien labor under contract. I believe the bill as we have reported it will come as near the accomplishment of that purpose as any law which can be devised. and while some of the amendments which have been suggested might not perhaps prove harmful. I think it would be wise for the House to take the bill as reported and pass it.
