Speech #630182825

The Chair ruled it in order on the ground. fts I recall. that the bill covering two classes of goods or goods prepared by two different classes of persons. one convicts and the other paupers. under the wellrecognized parliamentary rules you could add a third clause. That is the amendment which is now proposed. The bill prohibits the importation of goods prepared in whole or in part by convict labor or pauper labor. This amendment proposes also to prohibit the importation of goods manufacturedit does not cover other goods. it does not cover forestry products or agrieciltural productsgoods manufactured In whole or in part by children under the age of 14 years coming from those countries which do not have any childlabor laws. I think. under the wellrecognized construction of the rules. it is simply adding a third class to two classes already in the bill of a somewhat similar character.
