ures to 100000. This is outside of

In this same connection the man
ayers OF the larger construction firms
who have employed only citizen labor

than alien labor because while the citi-
zen labor costs twice as much az alien

twice as much work. do It more salts

The citizen contractors all declared
that IL they were given the opportunity
to bid AGAINST the alien coptraetors and
IL the latter were compelled TO give
the same class of work that they would
have no fear of the resultsof the bid
ding.
Instances were pointed out where
aliens bid for jobs and after being
awarded the jobs because Of their low
bids were compelled to 20 to the citi.
zen contractors and secure from them
equipment and material with which to
carry out their contracts and in some
instances after being given the con.
tract had not sufficient funds with
which to even rent the necessary
equipment.
