Immigration. which alone has made this
development possible. has raised the
English speaking wage workers to the
status of an aristocracy OF labor. Or
ganization among wage earners Is shown
to have gone apace with immigration, the
strongest labor organizations being those
composed of immigrants from southern
and eastern Europe. The author concludes
that the most drastic restriction OF I'M
migration would not facilitate the So
luton of any of the labor problems en-
gag.ng the attention of the public, where
as the proposed literacy test would prove
futile even as a measure of restriction.

IMMIGRATION AND LABOR"
THE ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF EURO
PEAN IMMIGRATION TO THE
UNITED STATES"
BY Isaac A. Hourwich, Pr. d. G. p. Put
nam's Sons. The Knickerbocker Press,
New York.
The author of 'Immigration and
Labor" Isaac A. Hourwich, traces the
causes of immigration to the United
States and its effect upon the condition
of American labor.
He dissents from the popular opinion
which holds that eevry immigrant ad-
mitted to this country takes away the
job of some American or earlier immi.
grant. BY an analysis of available sta
tistical evidence he proves that immigra
tion merely responds to the growing de-
mand for labor. Few people are aware
of the fact that along with the immi-
grafton OF labor there is going on an
immigration of foreign capital to the
United States. Over six billion dollars
