Opening of Canal, Unless Com
ditions Are Changed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ga
The opening of the Panama canal
will dump. yearly, 100000 immi-
grants on the western coast of
this country. Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, sets this figure.
He says
1t has already been calculated
and semi-officially published by
the agents of the steamship COM
panies, that immigrants from
Europe may be landed by way of
the canal at Pacific coast ports for
less sum than is required to pay
the passage to inland points"
What is going to be done with
them?
Big Business" looks upon these
people as a solution of the labor
question for them. The interests
on the coast intend to use the
scum of Europe to batter down the
wages of free American workers
and to force them into a condition
bordering on slavery.
Get them onto the land" is
the solution given by some, for
the industrial problems which the
west Is certain to face in the in
fiux of cheap labor from Europe.
How are you going to do it?"
asks John p. Mclaughlin, state
labor commissioner. Most of the
immigrants will have no money.
They will not be able to buy farms
and couldn't work them if they
could buy them, because they will
not have the capital to do it."
"A laborer is what the en-
ployer makes him." continued Nc
Laughlin. Take away all his in
centive to better his condition and
you have what? The slum and
the tenement conditions of the
eastern cities. Employers of un-
skilled labor are responsible for
these conditions.
"A middle-west farmer recently
told me that his state could use
10000 unskilled laborers. How
long can you work them?' | asked
Two months a year. he replied
But, what is going to become of
them the other 10 months?' l in

will be a good thing for the west
If not, it will be the biggest
curse of this country"
What is the proper answer to
the problem?" Mclaughlin was
asked.
1T is this. Make the landlords
either Ii. their idle land or sell it
At just valuation to those who
will. Then let the government.
national or state, give financial
help to the poor man who comes
to this country. The man who
has some money doesn't need
help. 1t is the man who has moth
