Mr. Chairman. I have not discussed at great length the effect of this unrestricted immigration on American labor. for other gentlemen have elaborated on this phase of the case. The labor unions in my district are not very strong. but those we have are of as fine a class of citizenship as any in the land. and I am glad to say that they are all my friends. and I am one of those who believe that the laborer is worthy of his hire whether he follows the plow. drives the plane. mines the coal. or smelts the ore. Just before every election the Republican party has orated its lungs out in appeals for the protection of American labor against the pauper labor of Europe. and my greatest complaint against organized labor is that it has listened too often to those siren notes. Now. gentlemen. you have the chance to make good. Either do it or let the brand of hypocrisy stand forth on your brow.
