Speaker.. reserving the right to object. I desire some information. if possible. It -has been reported tliougl the press that the President. through proper order. has made provision for entering into the United States of Mexican labor without passport fees or payment of the head tax to meet the agricultural emergency in Texas and possibly in some of the other States. I w aut to know whether that is an order that has any definiteness to it and upon which the people may depend. There is a great scarcity of labor in the State of Texas just now. and it is almost impossible for farmers and stockmen to get help of any kind. within any reasonable limit. both as to the required number of employees and wages demanded. and they would like to knov what they may depend upon in the future.
