It reads as follows: Provided further. That whenever the President shall be satisfied that passports Issued by any foreign government to its citizens to go to any country other than the United States or to any Insular possession of the United States or to the Canal Zone are being used for the purpose of enabling the holders to come to the continental territory of the United States to the detriment of labor conditions therein. the President mtay refuse to permit such citizens of the country Issuing such passports to enter the conttnental territory of the United States from such other country or from such insular possessions or from the Canal Zone. The other provision is to section 42 of the bill. which is in answer to a very videspread complaint that has been made throughout the country that the steerage passengers coming to this country have not had a sufficient amount of air space ill the steamships bringing them. Section 42 provides for an increase ill the amount of such air space for steerage passengers. and is believed to be just and reasonable.
