Mr. Chairman. I have had both the honor and the high pleasme of presenting petitions at the desk of the Clerk of this House from about 100 labor organizations in my district demanding of this Congress that the policy of Chinese exclusion now in force under our Government be continued for another fixed period of time. I have received no petitions from any of my constituents demanding that this polcy be abandoned and our gates thrown ajar for the unhampered admission of immigrants from China. Now. Mr. Chairman. petitions of this and other descriptions are sometimes spoken of lightly and in terms of derision anid ridicule on this floor I have with my own ears heard petitions coming from the people referred to with levity and contempt in the Senate of the United States by Senators of the United States.
