THE AMERICAN LAsoRER.

The Free Press is in receipt Of the
following communication:
"Mapleton, Mimi, November 22.
1915. Ny Dear Sir: In behalf of Amer
lean labor, | am writing you this
letter. hoping that through the power
OF your press you would be able to
state TO the American people the value
OF employing American laborers other
than foreign labor. l am erecting a
concrete chimney for the schools Of
Mapleton and in the last few days
have been approached by different
citizens in behalf of hiring foreigners.
They don't seem to take into consid-
sration the fact that there are quite
a number OF Americans in this city,
who need the money and quite nee
essarily the work.
"It would seem to me that the citi-
zens Of a city could find IL much more
profitable to help their fellow citi-
gems, the ones who spend their money
in the same city, instead Of helping a
foreigner, who when he has made a
few dollars, packs his sack and takes
the money belonging to American
laborers back to his own native land.
"As for me. hire American labor,
! pay American prices and receive re-
turn American gratitude. Now, Mr..
Editor, will you uphold American
right? Respectfully yours, Edward II.
Morrow, chimney foreman"
America is the land to which the
great majority of foreigners come
when they depart from their native
shore Here is where they are well
coined. Most of them remain and be-
come citizens, but not a few Of them
return to the land of their birth, aft
er having accumulated sum of money
which they believe will be sufficient
to keep them the balance of their
days. This class of people certainly
is not the best for any community,
and The Free Press is frank to say
that no American laborer should be
turned down to give a job to a for
eigner OF that character. The man who
makes his home in a community and
spends his money therein Is entitled
TO the first call whenever there is a
ioh OF work 10 be done.
