One of the lawyers admitted that the only case he ever handled before was a divorce case. In another case. if I am rightly informed. a fellow who 10 years ago was a taxicab driver in New York became first assistant to the chief counsel on the Board. Another case. a young lady. acting in the capacity of a judge. only received her naturalization papers in this country 3 years ago. With all the evidence at hand. with all the crimes pointed to by the Smith committee and by the Labor Committee of this House. still it seems we must go on hearing the old stories told over and over again. not willing to go ahead and remedy this festering sore. I think it is time for this House to demand that the Committee on Labor come forward with a definite program that will relieve both labor and industry and open the door of opportunity for the ambitious youth that will not make them travel the highways not knowing where they are going to eat or sleep or whether they should rob a bank or shoot themselves.
