I pointed out that it would definitely remove sweatshops. that it would definitely prevent the exploitation of child labor. that it would. very probably. cut down the relief rolls of the country and help toward balancing the Budget. I pointed out that it would relieve the great terror of uncertainty in the minds of those who are engaged in industry. I pointed out that it would give labor an economic force. that it would create a competition for labor. and would protect against the unfair competition of what has been described as foreign. coolie labor. I have attempted. In the little time that I have been permitted to have in the discussion of this bill. to point out that labor was opposed to the measure now being considered.
