Mr. Chairman. it has been demonstrated by the hearings before the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization of this house that the statement just read is absolutely true. We have had evidence tending to show not only great misrepresentation on the part of the steamship companies and their agents in nearly all the countries of Europe in order to stimulate immigration. but evidence has been produced to show that in this country men having confederates on the other side do a large business in inducing immigration in order that the ignorant immigrant. when he comes here. may be subject to the exploitation of those who are in this conspiracy.
Identified stereotypes
