It abounds with provisions that are pernicious and which. if enacted. will give rise to hardship. It is. with few exceptions. the Dillingham bill all over again. and in some one or two respects is somewhat worse than when that measure came to us from the Senate. The method adopted to secure the enactment of this legislation calculated to restrict immigration is amazing. The House Committee on Immigration struck out the provisions of the Dillingham bill. and. lo. the conferees bring back the measure with most of the features of that bill all reinserted and even more drastic than before. I am conscious that the temper of this House today favors the report. yet I would not sit by and see this measure go through by this steamroller process without uttering any protest against both this report and the hasty. illconsidered way in which it is proposed this bill shall become a la*. Only last night the conferees reported this measure to the House.
