WOULD TAX ALIEN LABOR
THE REV. MADISON q PErERss PLAN 10 PRO-
TECT AMERICAN woRK1IEN

The Rev Madison G. Peters. OF the BloonRnE-
dale Reformed Church. at his afternoon service in
the 9th Regiment Armory yesterday spoke in eppo-
siton to the system Of filing the labor market
with European laborers whenever there is TO be-
any great work begun in the United States and
advocated the placing OF the protective tax on
every alien laborer who into this country.
He said in part:
The present IS the time when our immigration
laws should be amended, and should exclude the
birds OF passage who live IN way utterly incom-
patible with American decenCy and who have no
intention of becoming American citizens; who
simply stay here for short time and take home
to their native land what they have earned The
workmen because OF the with which their
places be filed by immigrants who are glad to.
get work at any price.
It is said that you could not get enough Amer.
ican citizens who would be willing to perform the
common labor required tunnel This Is
not true American citizens viii be glad 70 get the
work, but they dislike to be put level with the
pauper labor OF Europe and live according their
standards. The only way TO protect the American
worktngman in his wages. his living and his dig
nifty is by putting heavy per capita tax on every
European labOrer. The wages Of the common,
labOrer are lower to-day in consequence OF this
immigration than they were before the Civil War.
while everything else has increased 1t Is innDos-
stble to introduce any plan OF positive and immedi-
ate aid for the unemployed OF the country thar
does not mean the same thing Tor the unemployed
of Europe.
