PLAN T0EDucATE
ALIEN EMPLOYEES
Oliver Mining Company Would
Make It's Workmen Become
American Citizens.

The. Oliver Mining company has
worked out plan whereby the min
ing officials and the federal author
tiles will cooperate In educating
alien employees and influencing them
to make out citizenship papers. The
plan takes in all of the employees in
all mines of the company in Michi-
gan and Minnesota. Probably co.
900 men are involved. - /;
The plan in substance follows:
To have all alien employees attend
night school.
To have al: the wives and mothers
Of such employees attend night school
or study at home. -:
To have every alien: employee take
out naturalization papers as soon as
possible.
To have paymasters place educa-
tional literature in the pay: envelope
of each of each alien employe on each
pay day. = ~.
Preference will be shown to men
who become citizens. If times are
slack and men have to be let out,
those who are Americans will be re-

WASHINGTON. D. C.-The num-
Der of aliens in this country over 81
years of age who have taken no steps
to become citizens Increased from
100000 in 1900 to 100000 in 1910,
according to Senator Dillingham; in
a speech last week in the senate. He
said that the latter figures exceed the
presidential vote of IS western states
and that it is both wise and necessary
for a literacy test to be applied to
this increasing number Of immigrants
'What does it mean," he asked. Ito
have in this country 100000 alien
born men-I am not speaking of
women or children-who, as late as
1910, had not taken a single step to-
ward becoming American citizens,
but who, under our naturalization
laws, were substantially all entitled to
become citizens of the United States
What does it mean to have 100000
men who are aliens, who are liable to
come into full citizenship almost i'm
mediately? Do you realize that this
vast volume of male aliens amounts to !
one-seventh Of all the votes cast in
the presidential election Of 1912? The
possibilities suggested by the presence
in this country of such vast num-
Der of prospective, and to large ex-
tent uneducated. voters can. only be
understood when I state that the en-
tire presidential vote Of California,
Oregon, Washington, Montana, 1da-l
no, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colo
RADIO, Arizona, New Mexico, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas in the election of 1912
to .2,2So,ooo; and yet we
had substantially that number Of
alien born men in the United States
on that date all ready to become citi-
zens of the United States"
Senator Dillingham; was a member
of the immigration commission, ap-
pointed by congress to investigate this
question. He stated that agents of
the commission came in contact with
$4,000 persons in the iron and steel
industry and found that the average
wage of these $4,000 persons was |
1926 year.

President has lined himself up with
the solid labor movement of the coun-
try demanding the enforcement of a
fundamentally right principle. He
has sensed and expressed the economic
conscience of the nation. And whether
those who control temporarily the
great arteries of trade for selfish in
terests instead of for public interests
acknowledge the justice of the Presi-
dents position and the justice OF the
railway brotherhoods' position, that
justice will certainly prevail.
The fight of the railway brother
hoods has made the eight-hour day
