Description: A woman holding a telephone tells the long distance operator she wants to talk to Congressman Lafollette. While she waits for the connection, she shows her husband an article in the newspaper which says the ban on Chinese immigration is being lifted to allow 105 Chinese immigrants per year to enter the country. She says that this is a solution to their servant problem.
La Follette, Robert M. (Robert Marion), 1895-1953
