That statement was to the effect that only 100.000 convicts throughout the country are employed in business which would be affected by this legislation. and that only 50.000 of that number are eniployed in activities where the products go into other States. That is a very small number of people. Did youever stop to think that 10 or 15 -years ago there were more than 4.000.000 aliens coining into this country each year. and that under the present immigration law we are admitting each year legally 165.000 aliens. and perhaps that many more are bootlegged into the country? All these labor in competition with our citizen laborers who are already in America. This proposition of convict labor is being overmagnified in importance. and the importance should not be given to it that has been given it by the gentleman from Wisconsin.
