proportion of employees of foreign
birth ranges as high as rs per cent,
with corresponding falling off in
the number Of native Americans.
Among bituminous coal and iron-ore
mine workers, by way Of illustration,
less than one-tenth are native Ameri-
cans. The fact Of greatest import
in connection with the situation is
that about one-half of the industrial
workers Of foreign birth are South
ern and Eastern Europeans and Asia
tics, Greeks, Lithuanians, Russians,
Portuguese, Slovenians, and Russian
and other Hebrews. This transfor-
nation in the racial composition Of
the wage earners of the country has
been brought about by the immigra-
ton to the United States during the
past 80 years.
The most general effect of this ex-
tensive employment of recent immi-
grants in American industries is
found in the character of the indus
trial communities of the country at
the present time. There is no man
ufacturing city or town or any min
ing community of any Importance in
the Middle West, New England, and
the Middle States which has not a
foreign section made up of indus
trial workers from Southern and
Eastern Europe. In the older indus
trial cities and centers of the coun-
try immigrant communities have
gradually developed and attached
themselves to the original popula-
ton. On the other hand, a large
number of immigrant communities
have come into existence within re-
cent years because of the develop
ment of some natural resource, such
as coal, iron ore, or copper, or by
reason of the extension of the prin-
cipal manufacturing industries of the
country. In both classes of indus
trial communities there has been a
distinct segregation of the immi-
grant and native American popula-
ton, and there is little contact or as
ISOLATION beyond that rendered neces-
sary by business or working rela-
lions. The immigrant WOrkmen and
their households usually live in colo
MES according to race, attend and
support their own churches, main
tain their own business institutions
and places of recreation, and have
their own fraternal and business or
carnations. AS a consequence of
this general isolation the tendencies
toward Americanization exhibited by
the Southern and Eastern Europeans
are small, and the maintenance of
old customs and standards leads to
congestion and insanitary housing
and living conditions. Agencies for
the Americanization and assimila-
ton Of the immigrant wage earners
and their families are rare, and the
native Americans, as a rule, are in
different in their attitude toward the

The question of unlimited immi-

Without realizing it until it is al

has realized that ''liberty'' and free

profitable to visit all the small in

There has been little red fire burned,
little frenZied Oratory over this mat

the brand of future, citizen she pre-
fers, and yet it was not more than
a year ago that the front pages of
many American and a few English
newspapers erupted like Mount We

fornia had protested against another
invasion, in this case the newcomers
being Japanese.
The identity of the OK who was
gored, seems to make as great differ

Aesop, but no paper of the United
States has felt called on to rebuke
Canada for refusing to mongrelize
her citizenry by permitting the peo-
pie she does not care for, to settle
on her lands. This is more peculiar
than our objection to the Japanese,
the Hindus being wards of Great
Britain, and paying enormous taxes
in India, to the Crown.
Just what has the United States
gained by her unlimited and unre-
stricted immigration? If those who
come here in such focks and droves
were to be b0nifde, genuine citizens

history would repeat itself with each
succeeding generation, and the de-
scendents Of those immigrants of
today would be the mainstay Of the
Nation, as those or the earlier days
were.
