Certainly. And contract labor is distinctly recognized by the laws of Hawaii. laws which we temporarily adopted by the annexation resolution. and when we undertake to extend the navigation laws and the revenue laws over those people. we ought to say to the honest laboring men. both here and there. that at least the iniquitous labor laws of Hawaii shall be suspended until we can have an opportunity to pass upon these questions. Now. Mr. Speaker. I move as an amendment to this bill the text of a bill which I introduced this morning. to extend the act of February 26. 1885. to these islands.
