Mr. President. in answer to the inquiry of the Senator from Missouri I will say that there was very little evidence discoverable by the committee indicating any direct action by manufacturers or producers of the character he has mentioned. The very fact that we have a stringent statute against it. the very fact that the Bureau of Immigration are all the time watching for any infringement of that law and are executing the law according to its letter. precludes the possibility of manufacturers or producers employing any direct agency to secure the coming of any large number. But I do say to the Senator from Missouri that there is in my mind no doubt whatever but thata large number who come to this countryI might say a majority who come to this countrycome upon information which convinces them that when they reach here they will have employment.
