WEST VIRGINIA
TAKES PART IN
CAPITAL NEWS
Events of Washington, D. c.
Are Reported by TeIegram's
Correspondent There.

WASHINGTON March 2S.-Con-
gresham Edward Cooper. 1.-The baby
member Of the West Virginia delega-
ton in the House, selected the Bur
nett immigration bill as the occa-
sion OF his debut as debater. II
was his maiden speech and was we'll
delivered. 1t showed studious
thought and preparation. but the
subject az he discussed 1t, immigra-
tlon and Its bearing upon labor, espe-
cially foreign labor as compared with
native American labor in the coal
mines ri West Virginia, Is a subject
that the Fifth district representative
has a thoroughly personal and prac-
ttcal knowledge. covering period
Of thirty years In which he has been
engaged in the mining industry. He
spoke in favor OF tho bill. and the
'literacy test" provision OF 1t espe-
cially.
MIR. Cooper argued. and proved 1t
by official statistics. that IN appalling
majority of mine accidents were
caused by the dense ignorance of
foreigners. EIe declared that In 1914
there were two foreigners killed in
the mines of West Virginia to every
native born American. 1.-The for
eignGrs," he declared. who have been
coming to our shores for the last sew
eral years have been the ignorant
and uneducated Of Europe" In an
swer to question from colleague,
Mr.. Cooper made the significant
statement beats down the price
of labor in this country every time
you bring laboring man from Eu-
rope" which declaration was loudly
applauded.
Another significant part Of the In
teresting and instructive speech Of
the Fifth district congressman was
that part devoted to an analysts of a
recent statement by Secretary Lane.
In that statement the decreased
number OF mine accidents In 1915
was attributed largely to the govern
ment's safety first work. While not
decrying this, but approving 1t, Mr..
Cooper said: II think the main rea-
son for the decrease in, the fatal ac-
cidents for the year 1915 has been
caused by the war which is now going
on in Europe, and which on August
1. 1914. called back to Europe from
America ignorance to fight in the
trenches and be destroyed there In
stead OF being destroyed by ignorance
in the coal mines and Industrial
plants of America" Mr.. Cooper
proved this interesting point with
the latest figures from the census
bureau.
The speech by Congressman Coop
er was a lengthy one, strong in it's
arguments and replete with interest
Ing statistics. 1t will be read no
doubt with great interest in his own
district and in other collaborating
counties Of the state especially. The
fifth district representative has rea-
son to feel proud over his first
speech, as II has brought to him
many cordial and sincere congratu-
latlons from his colleagues and
friends.
The immigration question, It may
be added, was live issue in the
Fifth district when Mr.. Cooper was
running for Congress. The position
he took in his speech on the Burnett
bill Is identically the same position
he took when he was canvasslng the
district for election.
