VANTt. Representative for the People of the French Village. Aside from the purpose of registering this complaint the question presents itself concerning the purpose of the Government in permitting the employment of labor clearly engaged in the manufacture of goods destined for interstate commerce at coolie wages in direct contravention of the wage and hour lawis this a method of balancing the Budget? By very definition this venture cannot be deemed to be a cooperative venture and there can be no excuse for this situation. All the members of this delegation submit the case of the people of the Virgin Islands to the Congress with the prayer that favorable legislation may be the result.
