Speech #590161905

I was speaking about the basis of our contractlabor laws and the vast importance which they are to the workingmen of this country. They are. to my. mind. of the utmost importance. and I know how much importance the men engaged in the industries in my State attach to them. Now. what has happened is this: The State of South Carolina appointed an agent to promote immigration to that State. as it had an unquestioned right to do. But they gave him only. $2.000 a year and his expenses. and the manufacturers of the State contributed $30.000 to enable him to bring laborers and operatives to that State. With that money he went abroad and established agencies.
