The percentage plan. involving the 3 per cent. was discussed on the floor of this House nearly six. months ago. It was published in the RECORD. It was published in the committee hearings. The Commissioner General of Immigration stated that he bad told them in advance what it was. The fact is. they watched your doings carefully. They have a wellequipped organization here. and they know more about what is being done with regard to immigration legislation here than any Member of this House. and it is a pitiful thing for us and the executive departments to say now that because the steamship companies did not know what the law was we will not enforce it against them.
