I believe the proper thing to do with this bill is to recommit it and appoint another day upon which to vote on it. The friends of the measure ought to make that motion. I do not want to take the lead in doing so. but that is what ought to be done. I am now and have always been opposed to Chinese immigration. because I consider it a menace to the American wageearner. I favor American labor and everything that will promote its best interests. I could not support the bill reported by the committee in its present shape. because its provisions are doubtful.
