It is worth while to serve in this Congress to hear the gentleman from Massachusetts raise points of order against a conference report on the immigration bill. and I will not deprive him of that pleasure.. My point of order is this: In line 19. page 67. as the bill passed the House It provided that the act shall take effect after July 1. 1916. When the bill got to the Senate the Senate struck out that date and inserted the words "May 1. 1917." To that in due course the House disagreed. When It got into conference the conferees inserted the date July 1. 1917.
