A PROTEST FROM LABOR.
1t has been evident for some time
that the rapid increase in emigration
to this country is exciting the animosi-
ty of workingmen in general The
subject has been discussed in labor
organizations TO greater or less ex-
tent. The first well organized effort
appears to have been made to-day. IL
is IN the form of q printed petition adj
i dressed to congress and says:
We call upon you in the name Of
: the intelligent wage-workers of the
United States. We call your attention
to the fact that this custom is growing
into a standing menace to the stability
OF American Institutions, and aims a
direct blow at the commercial life of
the Union by attempting by unfair
means toreduce to the starvation level
of Europe, the wages of our work
men. To so alarming an extent has
this system been developed that we
find the attention of foreign cousuls
drawn to its manifold evils, and in
some instances it has been the subject
of special reports, We welcome gladly
to our shores those who have burst
asunder the CHAINS of oppression and
come into our midst free moral agents,
but we sternly protest against the
landing of bands of foreign laborers
upon whose bodies blood money to the
extent of $50 per head has been paid,
and whose liberty is fores worn before
their native land passes from their
vision We call Hpon YOU to enact
such laws as will make it a criminal
oItense to briug to this country bodies
