President. I am aware of the fact that the Secretary of Labor hasunder wiat power. I do not knowsuspended the literacy test and the contractlabor prohibition in the immigration law. for the very worthy purpose of supplying needed labor in the southern border. I have reference more particularly to tie CaliforniAMexican border. where the Mexicans have beeh accustomed. in normal times. without objection from any source. to come across the border and work in the vineyards and the orange groves. So the wise action of the Secretary in this great emergency has passed without challenge. as far as I am aware. by the men and women more particularly interested in the welfare of labor. through their organizations.
