RESTRICTION OPPOSED
AND REASONS THEREOF

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the
Burnett immigration restriction bill
continue to ignore the position of or.
ganized labor on this question-that
the steel trust and other employers
of cheap labor can only maintain pres
ent working conditions through the il
literacy of employees.
These opponents express great fear
that if common labor" is checked
American industry will suffer. This
point has been brought out several
times by Rourke Cochran, eX-congress-
man and New York lawyer, in his OPP
position to immigration restriction.
Organized labor replies that no So
called common laborer" can maintain
American ideals on wages paid by
large corporations. and that the rem
edy is ability to read in some Ian
guage, followed by unionization
Another line of Mr.. COchran's rea-
soning is as follows; THE dangerous
man is the one who can plan a forg'
cry or burglary or other serious of
Tense against our laws, and that man
can pas any literacy test that you can
| impose"
A. F. of L. Secretary Frank Morri-
son answered this statement when he
told the house committee on immigra-
ton that where an individual breaks
the law of the land he can be pun
ished, but an individual or a corpora
ton is permitted to lower living stan
dards and debase an entire nation
with impunity.
Another claim of the Burnett bill
opponents is that this legislation will
change Americas historic attitude to
ward the oppressed of other lands and
that it will lact as a barrier against
those who would flee from persecu
ton because of political or religious
ideals.
The bill clearly and specifically eX
empts from the literaey test all polit
ical and religious refugees.

There will be an investigation, no
doubt. And that it will bring out, or
partly so, some fact or facts that go
to show that greed for profits was the
fundamental cause of the accident"
is certain enough. That is what all
such Investigations do, or tend to do,
though they are mostly shut off be-
fore the public is permitted to draw
any logical conclusion from them.
There is no use of asking a public
itself obsessed with the righteous.
ness of the idea of private profit
making-what it is going to do about
such matters. 1t will do nothing, or
rather, it will continue to do one
thing-it will die to prove its faith
and belief in the system of private
profit. And it does, and will so long
as that belief obtains 1t is perhaps
doubtful if such a public really de
serves immunity from these catastro.
plres when it fatuously permits such
a public utility as railroad transpor-
tation to remain in the hands of pri-
vate eXploiters, and in such case the
'1esson" of the latest New Haven
horror seems to be that the public
gets exactly what it deserves.

NEW HAVEN GIVES
US JOUR- RIGHTS
(From the New York CalD

There is nothing more dreary, flu
tile, tedious, and eXasperating for an
editorial writer than to have to NOR
alize upon railroad accident in
which lagre number of people have
been killed and injured, and to point
out the so-called "lesson" it conveys
to suggest safety for the future. Moth
ing ever comes of this writing, and
men have grown gray-headed doing it
year after year The writer always
feels the utter uselessness of his eff
forts, but must, perforce, conceal his
disgust under a mass of denunciatory
or admonitory verbiage.
The New Haven road has just slain
another dozen people and injured
or six times as many. The matter
has drawn the usual editorial atten-
ton in the form of suggestions for
"strict investigations" prompt pun
ishment of this or that person who
may De IOunu SullJy, aulhohltlons III
greater care in the future, etc, all OF
which aresbut ceaseless repetitions OF
things that have been said and writ
ten before innumerable times, and al
utterly useless. SO eXasperatingly
futile is all this piffle that it is not
wonderful that some writer's habitual
ly take refuge in the indignant query
of what are the people going to dc
about it?" and let it go at that. know
ing they will do nothing. But, at the
worst, it is no more useless than the
other procedure.

The Truth About the Nature
and Function of Money!
Three Easy Lessons: Lesson Ii
By c. B. HOFFMAN,

WHAT THESE FIGURES PROVE
This shows (a) that the amount of
money" on deposit in banks is twelve
times greater than all the money in
existence; (b) that loans to the peo-
pie, almost exclusively business con
Germs and well-to-do farmers. is ten
times the amount actually in the
banks; Co that the income-bearing
resources of the bankers is six times
the total amount of money in exist
enc and over fourteen times the
amount actually in the banks.
How can the deposits exceed the
amount of money in existence? The
explanation is simple: Smith, a grain
dealer, goes to a bank to borrow
$4,000. The banker knowing that
Smith has property worth more than
$4,000, lends him the amount Smith
opens a checking account but takes
out no currency. He is "cr>slited"
with $4,975 $4,000 less SIS interest
for three months loan at per cent?
The deposit in that bank increased
$4,975 because Smith gave his note.
This illustrates how the enormous
amount of money" on deposit is Gre
ated.
Capitalist papers, especially of the
booster" order boast of our pros.
perity" by pointing to our" bank de,
posits. They forget to explain that
bank deposits represent what the peo-
Pile OWE-NOT what they OWN.
THE BANKERS CONTROL CREDIT
What does Smith get from the bank
er for the SIS he pays for interest
every three months? He gets the
privilege" of using his own credit.
Only this and nothing more. Smiths
note became money" the moment the
banker accepted it. The checks Smith
issues to farmers for grain circulate
as money until they are presented at
the bank and charged to Smiths ac-
count Smiths credit, by the grace of
the banker, is part of the money
that does the business of the world.
Third: The total Understanding
resources of bankers is $33,405, 000,.
600 and of the loan and trust COM
panies $4,492,OO0 900.
This Y,1aanc that Norkipn PaOpIa IF
the United States pay every year
81 100000 to private persons and
corporations for the use of a medium
of exchange based upon their own
credit and backed by their own prop
erty. Is it any wonder that times are
hard and business not always profit
able?
