I move to strike out the last word. The gentlemen on the other side of the House. in endeavoring to escape the inevitable and logical results of their proposition in this bill. are seeking to impose upon this side of the House. by misstatements of the recordand of the history of matters that have taken place in this House. the responsibility for attempting to exclude labor from this bill. The gentleman from Iowa . in closing the general debate on this bill day before yesterday. and when there was no opportunity for replying to his statements. with a degree of recklessness that even exceeded his usual habit of unfairness in debate. made a statement in regard to the attitude of this side of the House on the question of immigration as related to labor that is absolutely falsified by the record in the House. It will be remembered that in the course of his remarks I asked the question whether he was in favor of an independent department of labor. and if not. why not? The colloquy between us occurs on page 856 of the RECORD of January 15.
