Assistant Secretary Taylor denies Frank Morrison’s complaint that he has spoken disparagingly of Filipino workers and supported admitting more Chinese workers into the Philippines. He encloses a letter from Ira Bennett that refutes Morrison’s statements. Taylor only opposed one aspect of the Chinese Exclusion bill, the required registration and issuing of certificates to Chinese laborers. At Taylor’s suggestion, this provision has been removed from the bill.
