National Congress to use their best endeavors
to have the same so amended as to make it

country.

| cultural purposes said words or words of
| similar import, to follow the words in the
country line IL, Section 2, Page % of the
| printed bill.

dom of placing all reasonable restrictions upon
| foreign immigration, but we do know that the
| farmers of the country, representing as they
do the greatest and wealthiest business of the
country, suffer seriously for the lack of labor,
