President. I presume there is great anxiety on the part of some to leave on some outgoing train. but that does not constitute any reason why this very important question should not be thoroughly discussed. I do not know of any proposition that has been raised in the consideration of this immigration question which goes more deeply into the problem of the conditions of labor. the hours of labor. tile employment of children in industry. and of women in industry. This proposed amendment has not a scintilla of protection for the family of the Mexican who is permitted to enter this country for the purposes of agricultural employment. In this amendment there is no authority lodged in the Secretary of Labor or any other public authority to prohibit the children of those Mexicans coming under the provisions of the amendment from entering this country. or to regulate the conditions of their employment when they arrive in this country.
