Speech #540081293

I further desire to say that I am not in sympathy with the ruleorruin policy of some of our labor organizations.. but I am the friend of the American laboring man here. and elsewhere. I have the honor to represent upon this floor a district more than onethird of whose voters are GermanAmerican citizens. In view of this constituency I wish now to declare that I heartily favor the passage (if it be possible under the rules of this House) of each of the bills reported by the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. The sun shines upon no better class of citizens than the GermanAmerican citizens of my district. I know that they have the same interest in the welfare of our common country that I have. and what is good for me is good for them. and what is evil for me is evil for them.
