President. in answer to the Senator from Ohio. I sug�gest that there is a provision in the treaty with reference to workmen on the works provided for In the treaty. The immigration laws are not in anywise interfered with. except in this particular.Under the Mexican law.-no American. can do any work in Mexico. This provi-. sion in the treaty was inserted at the request of the United States authorities. for the reason that. in constructing the works. some of which will be in Mexico. it was desired to permit American labor.the employees of American contractors who in all probability will have the responsibility of construction. to cross the. border and perform this workin Mexico. where they cannot go now under the laws of Mexico. The attitude of the labor organizations has been reversed.
