Mr. President. it will be noticed that although this bill was not introduced until April 18. 1929. it was to take effect on July 1. 1928. In other words. it would be retraactive in its present form. I assume that the reason for that is that the Senator from Utah . in reintroducing the bill which had been before the Congress a good many years. did not change the date when the act should go into effect. I telephoned to the Secretary of Labor to ask for his opinion in regard to the bill shortly after it was favorably reported by the Connittee on Immigration on April 7. 1930. and received from him a letter suggesting certain changes in the bill and outlining his (objections to it. which I ask may be read.
