Powderly in his speech lupor 1 Our Duty to The Immigrant, said he 1 had noticed that many people are more | IEtent upon securing their own rights l than in recognizing the duty they owe 1 to others. The influx of people from 1 the farms to the cities, MT. Powderly 1 attributed to the dislike of Americans l for manual labor. The hope of sucf 1 is for the making of much and easy wealth in the cities. Citizens, botI | native born and naturalized, MT. Pow l oerly thought, are given to too mucf l criticism as to who shall come to this country as immigrants. Too man! | people are remaining more restrictive l legislation against the immigrant 1 These aliens, for the most part from 1 the agricultural classes of Europe. arc l allowed to stay in the cities until many 1 people believe there are too many peo | Ile in the United States. The farmer ] boys who have rushed to the cities are 1 among those who complain of the 1 crowding. and who are anxious tC crowd out the immigrant or ke~- hin | from coming in. The cry against i'm 1 migration does not come from the ru- ral districts. MT. Powderly believed 1 that the tide of immigra ton should b, l diverted to the farms where a large ! proportion of the aliens would fin( congenial conditions. He said tha 1 immigrants were too often wrongl! | classed as Dauper labor when as | matter of fact the aliens are almos | without exception workers of som, 1 skill of excellent habits in their nativ, l land. Mir. Powderly said that tot | often the immigrant is subjected tt 1 abuse upon entering the country an( l neglected afterwards. He spoke il | high terms of the work of the Daught- l CTS in assisting and educating thest | lines which will make for good citi | zenship and independence.
