We did not turn these matters over to the Departments then. We called the trust members together in the proper committee room. and we sent for the witnesses and sent for the prosecutors. and Congress found them guilty when we could find the guilty one. We never shall have the naturalization laws enforced. we never shall have the immigration laws enforced. we never shall have the antimonopoly laws enforced as they should be and as society and the spirit of the law demand that they should be enforced until we compel the Federal courts to charge their grand juries to look after these violators of the law. Let Congress investigate more. Let grand juries be directed to investigate at each term of the court and happier conditions will prevail.
