If provisions were reached in which he did not believe. he said. "Gentlemen. I do not believe in these Items." We would ask him as a favor. he being the mst acuteminded lawyer on that committee. to put such items in shape for us. He would do so. and I take pleasure in saying that to no one ipan on that committee more than to the gentleman from New York does this House owe the report of the immigration bill. Hour after hour he sat there and worked on the details. perfecting items with which he did not agree. with which he said he admitted that he did not agree. but pointing out to us the webs in which we had contrived to enmesh ourselvespointing out to us the way to avoid these snares. in every way doing his duty as a legislator to perfect a bill to which he is manfully and openly opposed. The gentleman is not a restrictionist.
