Mr. President. I want to call the attention of the Senate and of the Senator who has just concluded his remarks to the fact that this amendment which is now proposed does not at all affect the question of contract labor or of the methods that have been employed In the past to bring labor into this country through advertisements and inducelnents. I think there is not a man in the Senate who is not opposed to contract labor. That is already prohibited by law. and this bill strengthens that law. and to that extent I am heartily in accord with the bill. Moreover. this bill makes it a crime to send out advertisements and to do the things to which the Senator has referred. That is all prohibited in other clauses of the bill. and if the bill is passed without the literacy test. nevertheless the law will then prohibit all advertisements. all inducements. all contracts. and all of those evil methods which have heretofore becn employed and which have resulted in bringing large numbers of people here to be really victimized. So that that question is taken care of in another part of the bill. Now.
