ir. Speaker. I desire a word only before the vote is taken upon the motion of the gentleman from New Jersey. I introduced this and thought it important for us to stop the importation of contract labor. I wish to indorse what the gentleman from New Jersey has said about the necessity. and to thank him for the promptness with which he secured the report of the bill. Every labor organization in the country asks for the passage of this bill. The laws sought to be extended are applicable at present to the United States. and it seems to be exceedingly unfair to delay the passage of this bill to await the consideration of a code of laws for the control of the Hawaiian Islands.
