I want to assure you gentlemen that the great majority of these aliens aire only too desirous and too anxious to go anl file their declarations and after the lapse of the necessary time become American citizens. But we have some cases where peopleare working on the railroads or on farms and it is absolutely impossible for them to file their applications as speedily as those who reside in the cities. Under the gentlemans amendment. these people who are working on the railroads or in the rural districts would suffer. rather than those who reside in the cities. You say that you want the immigrant to go to the farms and yet you penalize him for doing so. I hope that tile amendment of the gentleman from Massachusetts will not prevail.
