immigration Probe m.

Big business in the United States is
slackening its pace. Within the past
month the railroads of the country
have laid off more than so 900 men
The automobile industries have iald
off even more The textile industries
are running on slack time or are SHUT
down altogether. From all quarters
of the country come similar reports.
Business is passing through re-
adjustment period. Industries are
slackening because OF lessenln2 de-
mand for commodities OF every des.
cription, and the increased volume OF
iraportations entering into competl-
ton with our domestic manufactures.
The refusal of the people to buy at the
prevailing prices, especially when
lower prices are in prospect, has stag
mated lndustrialism and caused the
having off of men everywhere. These
men must obtain work as best they
can in order to support their families.
The end is not yet. Within the next
six months many thousands more ma!
be added to the idle lndustrlals or
those who have been forced to seek
employment in other lines. 1t is OF
no use to close our eyes to existing
conditions. The country has been
going at rapid pace in every con-
ceivable industry. Wages have been
high. because it has been necessary
to pay high wages to obtain the nee
essary labor. All have had to live,
and as the high cost of living contin-
ued to grow higher and higher, must
necessarily follow. and the laborer
has not been overpaid, considering
his living cost.
Now we are confronted with the
real seriousness OF the situation
These high wages, and these prosper
Gus times have come to the knowledge
Of millions of men and women in Eu-
rope who see in America an EldoradO,
and as a result there are now from
twenty to twenty-five thousand aliens
entering the United States every week
through Ellis Island, thus adding
more thousands to the unemployed
These newcomers stay in the large
cities, crowding the already congesl-
ed housing conditions, and adding to
our population an element that must
be provided for In some manner, and
which cannot be done except at the
expense and inconvenience OF those
already here.
The result of this continued influx
is easy to understand. 1t means that
there will eventually be vast army
of idle men and women in America.
America is already too full of alien
labor, and Congress should, at the
earliest possible moment, enact laws
that will restrict all alien immigra-
ton. America does not need them,
and their coming is but adding to
their misery and ours, or will in the
future,
