Now. Mr. Speaker. after full argument in this House. first and last. we all came to the conAP rr 22. clusionI do not know that there was any party matter mixed up in it. and it was the best judgment of this House and the best judgment of the Senatethat the laws against importing contract laborers into this country were correct. and they are correct. I was in favor of them before they were ever passed. I am in favor of them now. This bill is just simply the openlug wedge to nullify the law that we have been operating under and that we were all in favor of. and that is the test right here now. A man that votes for this bill is in favor of contract labor. and the man that votes against it is against contract labor.
