Mr. Speaker. as just stated by the gentleman from Pennsylvania. the object and. purpose of this rule is to give an opportunity to the House to determine whether to repeal the law limiting the hours of daily service of laborers and mechanics employed upon the publicworks of the United States in so far as that law is applicable to alien labor in the Canal Zone. It differs from the provision submitted to the House in the urgent deficiency bill in that it exempts the citizens of the United States from the application of the repeal sought for. It is a proposition worthy of consideration from the standpoint of the interests of the United States alone. and without the adimixture of political considerations.
