The only difference between the joint resolution and the existing law is that under the terms of the joint resolution the head tax. which I think amounts to about $8. would be waived. If anyone wishes to come to the United States under the provisions of the joint resolution. he must be an agricultural laborer. He must agree to labor at a certain place and under certain conditions. under the contract which is entered into. The only difference between the present law and the joint resolution is that we waive the payment of the head tax which has heretofore been required. and waive the provisions of the contractlabor law. to permit persons from the United States to go to other countries and undertake to find agricultural laborers. Heretofore that has been prohibited by the immigration law. At present there is no quota applying to the countries of this hemisphere. Tens of thousands of residents of Canada work in the United States every day.
