Speech #620257981

That is the way I introduced the bill. exactly as it came from the Senate. I mean to explain. having it all in chronological order. The bill is a long one and instead of finding fault with any part of its construction. and especially since it was made by the experts of his own commission. the gentleman would be of more patriotic service to his country if he would have had passed some immigration legislation through this House this session. The gentleman dare not deny that there has not been an understanding with the chairman of the Rules Committee and the leaders of the House. for the correspondence published In the CONORESSIONAL RECORD shows it to be so. that has resulted in the suppression of all immigration legislation this session. and may mean the ultimate defeat next winter. And this bill which passed the Senate four months ago has been in the hands of the gentleman from Alabama ever since. The fear tlat it may be strangled in conference has been expressed by such sole Democrats as Congressmen RODDENBERY and DIEs. ho have raised their voices in protest on this floor. which is something my friend from Alabama has not yet done.
