Now. when this matter came before the Sixtythird Congress after the introduction of House bill No. 102. the outgoing coinmissioner. Mr. Keefe. and the Secretary of Labor reported favorably upon that bill for the exclusion of the Asiatic labor. and. not to be satisfied with that. the chairman sent down under the new r6gime and the present commissioner. Mr. Camiuetti. and Secretary Wilson made a report on the bill. which is a House document filed on this bill. House Document No. 652 and House Document No. 56. I am advised not to say what occurred before the committee. but I think I can say that the committee unanimously agreed. after my urging. that this legislation should be had in connection with the Burnett bill. They were i.ractically all in favor of Asiatic exclusion. and the committee determined that they would take up and consider House bill No. 102 upon the question of the exclusion of Asiatic laborers and upon the question of registration. I believe that these men in the committee were fair. I know they were fair.
