Mr. Speaker. we have been told by the gentleman from Michigan that this law. as it now exists. has not been enforced. It was for the purpose of enforcing the law and for thepurpose of preventing the importation of contract labor that this bill was introduced and perfected. I want to say to the members of the House that the Solicitor of the Treasury drew this bill. He drew it on thorough knowledge of the conditions surrounding the Treasury Department in the enforcement of the law. and has asked this House to pass this bill to enable him to carry out the provisions of existing law.
