CHARGE IMMIGRATION FORCES
DOWN WAGES IN U. S.
D., Washington, Jan. 23.-In the face
of a warning from Pres. Wilson
against questioning motives of OPP
ponents of the immigration bill,
Sec'y Morrison of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor yesterday suggested
broadly that influences against the
bill are big corporations.
"These corporations, he suggest
ed, induce immigration in order that
they may get cheap labor. Talk Of
need of aliens to work United States
farms, he limited, is a bait to obtain
employees for the United States Steel
Corporation, the big packing houses
and other interests.
These great corporations" he
said, want two men for every job.
That means they will be able to get
one of the two at a very low wage for
hunger and distress will compel
man to accept a wage below the
American standard
Touching on the tariff question he
said that big concerns get protec-
ton for their products, but the labor
market is on the free list. with the
big protected companies paying their
men the lowest wages. Social re-
form, he insisted, is retarded in Eu-
rope because it's nations know Amer
lea is.a dumping ground for her sur
plus population.
And lowing out among the evils,
Morrison contended, is the fact that
the great immigrant influx is leading
to race suicide in American families
in order that present wages may
maintain the American standard of
living.
