I do not think that any State of the Union should be dealt with in that way. and I opposed the resolution on that account. I had not the slightest objection to an investigation into conditions in Lawrence. I had taken part in making such an Investigation two or three years before. and all the facts that have since been brought out here are substantially the same as the facts o)rought out by the agents of the Immigration Commission. of which .1 was a member. and who made that Inquiry under the directions of the Immigration Commissibn for the purpose of finding out what were the conditions of the class of immigrants employed at very low wages in those mills and in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. and in one or two other places. Having taken part before in bringing that information to the attention of the public. I of course had no objection to its being done again.
