They read. they understand these questions. they vote. they know what is of importance to them and to their interests. and they believe. rightly. as I think. that more important to them than anything else is to put it beyond the power of capital to bring into this country labor contracted for in a foreign country. either for a direct term of years or by means of a ticket. the cost of which is to be taken from their wages. I am very sorry. Mr. President. that that issue has been raised. I think it has -been needlessly raised. The committee. I repeat in closing. had no intention of limiting the proper Powers of a State to induce immigration to come within its borders. Such improvements as were lmade in the contractlabor laws we thought in conference very slight. But it appears that we are thought to have strengthened the contractlabor laws.
