President. if aliens are to be considered worthy of any care whatever. as much care as is afforded to the dumb brute. that some limitation upon the length of time they may be permitted to work should be placed in the law. I will be satisfied. Mr. President. if the provision will be so changed as to make it ten hours for alien labor instead of eight. Whether it may be called maudlin sympathy or cant. or whatever other term Senators may see fit to employ. I am willing to stand by the proposition that the people of this country will declare it to be inhuman to allow aliens. from whatever island or from whatever mainland. to be brought into that unhealthy Zone and. as to the hours of labor. left altogether at the mercy of the contractors.
