Employers
Claim Shortage
So CosE st living IS Factor
Concerning Immigration-
Ghurehss View Question

Washington, D. C. Jan. 49,
With every. resource OF publicity
at their command backed heavily
rs to finances, and endowed with
not a little political influence,
proponents of less immigration
restriction are today the most ag-
gressive and determined in the
fight to dominate the writing Of
the nations immigration policy
which Congress is about to I'M
dertake.
These advocates &c a freer flow
of immigration into the United
States fall roughly into three
classes:
~ Employers of labor of all
kinds. ,
(2) Groups and individuals
who profit by immigration as an
institution.
(9) Church groups, interna-
tionalists, humanitarians and
philosophers.
By far. the most powerful and
important of these are the en-
ployers of labor, a group which
| is made up of employers of cheap
unskilled labor and employers of
classified agricultural labor. Of
these two, the employers of COM
mon labor, the manufacturing in
dustrial class, are the most con-
cerned in the drive to force down
our present bars to a flood of
foreigners and arc the nominal
leaders of the fight.
immigration, this class says, is
necessary to afford ready
source of cheap, unskilled labor
to industry. 1t serves as a res
Iervoir into which industry may
constantly dip for supply OF
men to do the rough work of the
country's industry at minimum
wages.
Minimum wages, they continue,
mean cheaply produced products
and q lower cost of living to the
nation. as a whole.
They claim that prosperity" is
at this very moment being re-
Itarded by labor shortages in the
country's principal industrial cen
tiers. -
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion is one of the subscribers to
this contention. In his recent an
nual report, the Secretary said:
Owing to the restrictions on I'M
migration and the general resump-
ton of industry, the country is
already suffering from a scarcity
of labor which is embarrassing
some lines of business and cad
ing to higher wage. scales, where
lower were expected a year ago.
These claims of labor shortages
are borne out by figures of the
Department Of Labor which show
a continual decline in the COM
mon labor available in the past
year and a half.
I The Immigrant aid societies, I'M
migrant banks and labor bur-
eaus-in. fact, the whole business
structure which the great imn1i-
grant movements of prc-war days
called into existence-are stauncn
advocates of total relaxation OF
immigration bans.
Certain churches, with interest
in particular corners of the world
advocate the freedom Of Amer
lea" to the peoples whom they
have taken under their wings
The Armenian nation is case IN

teqe- of d number of American

We reached Columbus at about
$3.50. 1t was raining very hard and
very few of us had umbrellas, but
we were soon on the street car and
were taken to the Southern hotel
where about $40 girls were taken
care of during our stay in COlum-

where we rested short time. We
were divided into companies and
each company had a leader. / was
