I think It would be a great deal better to eliminate from the present law the provisions which the Senator from Georgia seems to think discriminative against agricultural laborers. than to broaden the law with such a pro-. vision as he has in mind. The Senator from Georgia. I think. Is mistaken when he suggests that the object of the law prohibiting the immigration of contract laborers is to protect those engaged in mechanical pursuits in which skilled labor is employed. It goes a great deal farther. It is intended to protect labor that hardly comes under the head of skilled labor. although. broadly speaking. it may be mechanical labor. as all labor by hand would probably come under that head.
