A. F. Of L. Protests
Against Admission
OF Foreign Laborers

Washington, April II. - To pre-
vent an influx of Mexican and Can
adam laborers into this country, the
American Federation of Labor,
through Frank Morrison, its secre-
tary, asked congress to take any
necessary action" to abrogate orders
of the Department of Labor per-
mitting temporary admissions of
Mexicans and Canadians to work
this year in the beet sugar industry
in Colorado, Wyoming, Iowa, Utah
and Nebraska.
Mr.. Morrison told the house i'm
migration committee that the labor
ers so imported, would over sup
ply the general market. He added
that there would be no shortage of
labor in the beet industry if ''living
wages" were paid American work
men. .... f.
The committee adjourned without
taking action.
Mr.. Morrison declared that "ad-
vocates of cheap labor want to draw
on Mexico for help" and he an
nounced that the American Fedora
ton of Labor did not propose to
permit the effort to go unchallenged.
