I do not think there is the slightest danger of their going into the States and competing with agricultural labor or Ieducing their products. But . I am opposed to this amendment. I agree with the Senator from Kansas. I do not believe that we ought in any way to break down the contractlabor law at the present time. as is provided. Then. too. what does the amendment meai? It says "contract labor. or induced or assisted immigration. shall not apply to agricultural immigrants." What does that mean? It does not mean farm owners. The broad application of it would be farm laborers. so that they may come in very freely.
