I have not. I know something about the problem from firsthand information. I know the habits of the Chinese. They are inveterate opium smokers most of the day. They brought that hideous opium habit to this country. These Chinese coolies provide a means of spreading it out among our boys and girls. If you stop to think about what you are doing here in dealing with this Chinese question. you will not repeal this law. Under the prevailing Chinese practice. when you went out to hire Chinese labor you went to the company. .You did nut deal with the individual.
