CHICAGO. January .5. 1897. To .Agents: The immigration bill. which is intended to materially restrict immigration. comes up for final disposition In the House of Representatives. Washington. D. C.. on Wednesday. 27th instant. It is quite clear that immigration will really be restricted almost to the extent of total exclusion of immigrants should the bill become a law. and every effort should therefore be made to insure the defeat of the bill. You are indirectly interested in the defeat of the bill as mucb as we are. and we would respectfully ask you to wire your Representative in Congress Immediately upon receipt of this to vote against the bill. informing him that the measure virtually means exclusion. and that his vote in favor of same will mean repudiation by his constituents and his defeat at the next election. Trusting that you will not fail to give this matter your prompt attention.
