It is found upon consideration of these individual cases that most of them arise with respect to laborers brought from foreign countries under the contractlabor system. and brought necessarily into conflict with the interests of our own laborers here. citizens and subjects of our own country. As is instanced in the views of the minority. which I shall ask to have appended to my remarks and made part of them. under this bill you can have brothers born in a foreign country come to this country at the same time. One of them may renounce allegiance to the foreign sovereignty and become a citizen and subject. by naturalization. of the United States. and the other retain his foreign allegiance. You could have the two. in person or in property. suffer to the same extent. under the same circumstances. by the same agencies. at the same time. and this bill would authorize the one to maintain a suit against the United States in the Court of Claimsthe one who remains a foreigner. and the other. who. by naturalization. had become a citizen of this country. would be remediless. That shows the scope and effect of thisproposed legislation. Then there is a reciprocity feature in it which. to my mind. is very objectionable.
