This provision goes part way. It says that alien labor shall not come under the provisions of the eighthour law. It will be the easiest thing in the world for the Committee on Interoceanic Canals. when they come to deal with this question. to go further than we go. and provide in the statute. which must be passed before this session closes. that this rule shall apply to all laborers on the Isthmus. When that committee brings in a proposition of that kind. I shall vote with the committee for enlarging and extending this provision. but in the meantime. as the House has partially dealt with this matter. as the Committee ofl Appropriations hesitated to enter at large upon this legislation. and as the Committee on Interoceanic Canals are dealing with the subject. why not allow this provision to remain in the bill and then correct it or make such additions to it as arexwise when the Interoceanic Canal Committee acts?
