They are immigrants -Da-

kies, and Wops.
They are not wanted. General
Leonard Wood does not want
them. The Department of JUS
tice does not want them. The
American Federation of Labor
does. not want them sas..
They are suspected, bounded,
prosecuted, exploited, oppressed,
because they are foreigners.
Since 1862 a stream of human
beings has flowed silently and
steadily into the land that is now
the United States. At first they
came by dozens and scores, then
by tens and hundreds of thou
sands. The year 1907 saw the
high record in immigration
1 ,285, ,349, 1923, ,976 of them men;
], 1,100,771 of them in the prime
of life, between IA and 45 yeas
of age. The number of imml-
grants for 1914 was only little
under the 1907 record-1,21
48O. Then came the war and
with it an immense drop in i'm
migration in 1915 there were
326,700 arrivals; in 1917 there
were 295, ,403. In March, 1913
only 14,105 aliens came into the
country, while 16,019 left it. The
stream of immigration has al
most stopped.
The leaders of the American
Federation of Labor wish to
stop immigration entirely for a
time-to stop it by law. They
aim to put up a barrier which
will prevent their European fel-
low-workers from entering this
land of freedom and opportunity

They will continue to do it in
the future. All signs point to a
period of prosperity in the Unit
ed States. If this prosperity CO.
mes, capital will want labor, and
capital will get labor. Immi-
grants are now coming from Eu-
rope, but if that supply fails the
masters have Mexico, India, Ja-
pan and China to draw on.
Workers will be found, by the
exploiters, SO, long as exploita-
tion is possible, Shall they be

Wilson and
the Electric RAILWAYS

President Wilson has appointed .
Federal Commission to study the con-
ditions of the Electric Railways of
the United States. The Commission
was authorized by the president after
he had received this statmeent from
Secretary of Commerce, William Q.
Redfeld and Secretary of Labor, VIII
liam B. Wilson:
/ s.The Electric Railway problem, to
which your attention has been called
on several occasions, has recently
assumed such serious national pre-
portions as to warrant the prompt
attention of the Federal Government.
About fifty or more urban systems,
representing a considerable percent
age of the total electric railway NIL
leage of the country, are in the hands
of receivers. The communities affect
ed are among the most Important
New York, Providence, Buffalo,
New Orleans, Denver, St. Louis, Bir-
Imingham, Montgomery, Pittsburgh,
Memphis, Ft. Wayne, Des Moines, st.
Paul, Spokane, Chattanooga.
"Other systems are on the verge
of insolvency, for the industry as
continued shrinkage in the value of
whole is virtually bankrupt. The
hundreds of millions of electric rail-
way securities held by savings banks,
national banks, life insurance compa-
nies and by the public at large, threa-
tens to embarrass the nations indus
try's buying power, which is said to
rank third in magnitude, involves the
unsettlement of collateral industries,
naturally entailing labor dislocation
that will affect hundreds of thou
sands of employees"
The seriousness of the Electric Rail-
way situation prompted the President
to act quickly, authorizing the COM
mission by cable.

WHERE DO YOU FIT?

Self preservationis the first law
of nature.
Even in the animal world, this
llaw is uppermost.
The trade union movement, the
same as individuals, is amenable
to that law.
Every individual must if the des
Tres to live conform to that law.
The struggle for existence, the
hope of the future, the battle aga
inst injustness, the fight be-
tween right and wrong, all come
under that category. So we find
the trade union movement always
in the trenches and front line
trenches, too, struggling and fight
! ing for better conditions for all
workers.
In this struggle some trade
unionists take part to the limit
of their endurance and ability
others sit back with folded arms
and participate in the benefits,
but refuse to take part in the
struggle, and then there are others
whe sit idle by and do nothing but
criticize everything that is being
done.
In which class do you belong?
Where do you fit?
How do you line up in this
struggle?
Are you one of the fellows that
always have a better way of doing
something?
Are you one of the fellows that
stand on the curbstone and chat
ter like poll parrot repeating the
words of the master class or say
ing, "It won't work, it can't be
done,it never was and it never will
be?"
If you are, you are surely giving
comfort to the enemy, and if you
are not being compensated for
y9nr cffortsxin this line, yoll are
being cheated.
Honest criticism comes only
from those who participate in the
activities of the trade union move
ment and who do their part. IL
you are. doing your part, you have
a right to criticise and doing your
part means the participation activ
ely in all things indorsed by the
mayority of the movement.
The man who refuse to con-
form to the rule of the majority is
not worth very much to the orgn-
lied movement The InternatiO-
nal Steam Engineer.
