On our statute books are laws which perhaps are responsible for the present condition of labor. by which tramps are scattered all over the country. by which our highways are filled with those whose hands and arms should be busy at the forge or in the machine shop or with the spindle. If this Congress. or Congresses that have preceded it. are responsible for those laws by which labor can not get employment in this country. the least we can do is to see to it that labor is relieved from as much competition as * possible. Mr. Speaker. there are three things admitted in this debate. One is that labor all over this country wherever it has spoken has spoken in favor of the restriction of immigration. That ban not be denied. No single labor organization has ever raised its voice * in opposition to this legislation.
