But. gentlemen. I received some very startling information in the last few days and I have learned of the hope expressed from certain sources for the passage of this bill in order to intimidate workers and curtail every attempt of workers to improve and better their condition. Under the bill as it now stands an alien who might have peacefully resided in this country for nine years and been a lawabiding citizen. if he happened to be arrested for picketing while his industry was out on strike. would be deported. I do not want to deport such an alien. In this day of suppression of speech and with the wave of intolerance that is now sweeping certain portions of our country a man might find himself behind the bars for a period of one year and deported for the mere expression of an opinion. Oh. do not tell me now that you do not desire to countenance the overthrow of our Government. I do not.
