Mr. Chairman. it ill becomes the gentleman from Pennsylvania to stand here as the pretended friend of American labor. I have been for years pleading in this House for an antidumping law against the dumping of European pauper labor. and unless that bill is passed it will be because the Senate will not pass it. and that body will be responsible for its defeat if it is defeated. But the gentleman has been standing for 12 years pleading for the admission of more of that class of laborers to this country. He stands now and draws ]is sanctimonious garments about him and sheds crocodile tears as the selfconstituted friend of ial)or.
