at the present time to discharge

an additional fifty million for its for

The Committee is further instruct
I'd to present to you the principal
grievances in writing and to secure
from you, at your early convenience,
a like statement of your decision or

NO. I. A great many positions re-
curing skilled labor are now held by
aliens. Our contention is that the

is the welfare of its own citizens, and
that, therefore, all such positions
should be at all times filled by Amer
lean citizens only"
Some of the positions now held by
aliens are as follows: Planning Mill
