the wage-workers could not see why

Congressman Nledringhaus came TO Washing
t,n and vent to immigration Commlssoner
Dr.ns tn the proposition that he be per
u.ted TO import tin-wOrkers from Wales.
despite The existence of the law prohibiting
tie Importation of alien labor He shrewdly
alglel that if this latter law could be evaded
reould be another point for the Republican
party and for protection that Mckinley had
claimed that under the operation Of his bill
O. production Of tin would be transferred
from Wales 20 the United States. and that if
i could be made to appear that the manufac-
ture If tin had already attained proportions

lc is RstOunded at an official declaration from
the Treasury that kiedringhaus may import
Welsh tin-workers to take the place OF his
striking employees. despite the edlct of Con-
gress 10 the contrary. Mr. Owens put an en-
trely new Interpretation upon the law against
importing alien labor and one that
does not consist with the avcwed purpose
OF Congress IN passing that law. he
has strained point 20 help political friend

take. The labor elements are outraged at the
decision. They maintain that there are

that the Treasury Department has once more

PTotectiOnists make proves a boomerang. and
10y daily practical experience the wage-earners
are learning that when Grover Cleveland
issued his tariff message ho took up the
