Mr. Chairman. I think if this section is adopted it will cripple. if not absolutely destroy. the efforts ihat are being made by different States in the Union. by immigration bureaus and other means. to obtain immigration from Europe. I think any wellinformed gentleman on this floor knows that the Northwestern States have for years sent advertisements to Europe to induce immigration. and I think this is in extension of law in regard to the importation of contract labor. which is not desired or demanded by the laboring people. or any class of citizens of this country. I can not see why it is that the Southern States. if they see proper to do so. shall not have the right that has been enjoyed by the Northwestern States for many years. of offering inducements to the people of Europe to come here by means of advertisements. It would operate unjustly.
