WANTS ALIENS IN u. S. IF THEY
WILL SHUN UNIONS
Ex-State Official Would Dictate the
Action of Labor Unions in the
Choice of Membership

Boston-Accordjng to local news
paper, r. w. Mansfield, former treas
urer of Massachusetts, gives this adj
vice to trade unions:
"If labor unions are to endure and
serve the useful purposes for which
they were originally formed and for
which they have every right to exist,
they must eradicate the radical. The
alien must go. Every member Of a
labor union ought to be an American
citizen. Every labor union ought to
amend it's constitution to that end" I
Editor Baine of the Shoe Workers
Journal suggests to Mr.. Mansfield
that he recognize that the alien is
here and that the unions cannot solve
the immigration problem in meeting
halls.
"The trade union movement" says
the labor editor, "has favored restric-
ton of immigration for many years,
but congress has been slow to act in
that regard. To say that the unions
should compel aliens to take out
naturalization papers while congress
refusese to act is TO suggest that the
unions undertake large sized job.
"Many publicists would object to
such an arbitrary exercise of au-
thority if the unions had such power
that they could afford to drive all
aliens either into the unions as citi-
zens or into non-union relations as
aliens. If the trade union were to ex-
pei an alien because the alien refused
to become a citizen, some lawyer,
possibly Mr.. Mansfield himself, might
act as attorney for the alien in re-
monstrance against what he would
then claim to be an act beyond the
legal right of power of the union.
"The trade union recognizes all
workers as workers, without regard
to race, creed or nationality and as
proper subjects for membership in
unions. Unions recognize the aliens
as fellow workers and take them into
membership, leaving questions of
citizenship to their voluntary act OF
to the laws of the country.%

Failure of the Interchurch World
Movement, the most ambitious plan
of cooperation ever attempted by the
churches in America, directs atten-
tion anew to the determination of
large business interests to dominate
every channel Of thought and action
in this country.
When the Interchurch industrial
program ran counter to the wishes
and the interests of Big Business, its
end was inevitable. A survey of the
steel industry, undertaken despite
the active opposition of the steel
trust, was the rock upon which the
movement broke up. When the steel
trust could not secure report of this
survey by purchase, it sent its agents
to steal it. That failing, it combined
with big business to destroy the
movement by Withholding from it
funds that had been pledged and
which were necessary to carry out
its program.
AS long ago as 1908 the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America, which was the active force
back of the Interchurch movement,
adopted an industrial program which
recognized the right of collective
bargaining and demanded the correc-
ton of industrial ills that were ode
structive of civilization and contrary
to the teachings Of Jesus Christ" 1t
declared that the present industrial
system was on trial, and favored re-
forms that ultimately would estab-
lish democracy in industry.
1t was pursuant TO the declaration
that the Industrial relations depart
ment Of the Interchurch movement
made its survey Of the steel and coal
industries and Was| about to extend
it's Investigations into other fields
when the crisis became acute. Forty
millions of dollars that had been
promised by friends" were Withheld
and there was nothing to do but wind
up the affairs Of the organization. 1t
owes more than six millions of dol
lars, guaranteed by large industrial
| interests.
While Big Business has not yet
gained control Of the conscience Of
the nation, it has strangle-hold on
the pocketbook, and without ample
funds it was impossible to continue

hensive as the coordination of The
