If I understood the answer of my colleague aright to my question as to bow a head tax would prevent importation of contract laborers. he practically admitted that it was not under contract labor at all. that it was not the manufacturer or employer of labor. but that it was the boardinghouse keeper who brought him here In order to make a few dollars out of him. I can not see. Mr. Chairman. that there is any contract labor in that at all. If I understood him aright. it is not the employer. not the manufacturer. not the man who Is in business. but a speculating boardinghouse keeper. Does the gentleman regard that as being contract labor?
