My amendment. which has been accepted. provides that 90 percent of all the persons employed in work in interstate factories or industries of any sort or description by any individual. firm. association. or corporation. must be American citizens. and in order that those who have up to this hour made application for naturalization may obtain employment. they can come within the 10 percent. I am not asking at this hour that 100 percent of the employees of every factory be Americans. because many aliens have made application for naturalization. for American citizenship. and I am leaving the 10 percent in order that those who have thus applied may be provided the opportunity of getting work. Under my amendment. which has been accepted. thank Heaven. for the American laboring man. 90 percent of all persons employed must be Americans. Now I wish to return to the registration and fingerprinting amendment.
