Opposed to Immigration.

Frank J. Thompson, President of the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce, was in Birmingham today. visiting the State Fair and incidentally looking af- ter the display being made by Madison County. Mir. Thompson is opposed to the movement which has for its object the bringing of indiscriminate classes of immigrants to Alabama. He said here today:
 There appears to be an idea on the part of some people that those who are responsible for the Chattanooga confer ence are opposed to Italian immigra- tion, when the truth is that they are ality or immigrants, but want above all things else square deap for our own people.
 This thing of turning the tide of immigration now coming into this country into the South, as some advo- cate, would be in my judgment. the very wt rst misfortune that could be- fall the South. The energies of the people that are now being concentrated to such wonderful advantage to the de- velopment of the South, would soon be required in another direction. We would have our hands full enlarginR jails and trying to assimilate classes that car never be made Americans, when there is no need of it.
 The South has made record dur ing the past fifty years that should be source of the greatest pride to every son of this section, and why we should be asked to jeopardize this now, or share it even with those who do not and cannot appreciate it, is be- yond my comprehension.
 Because there is a scarcity of la Dor if 1t extends into every depart ment of industry in the South. is no excuse or Justification for bringing

here hordes of immigrants of any and all classes. as will necessarily be the case If this tide is turned to South ern ports. I speak from experience, and say that we will never fill up the South with good citizens under any such policy, for as the bad ones come in the good ones will stay away. and by holding up the highest standard of citizenship the best classes will come of their own voliton. Let those who need labor join in policy of bring ing only a few at a time, and then enforce vagrancy laws to make those who are here work or give room for those who will, but do not let us catch the hysteria on the labor question and flood the South with the scum of Eu- rope as we are about to do by open ing the Southern ports for these classes"
