New Restrictions on immigration
Anticipated
A number of Yiddish newspapers
printed articles and editorials antici-
pating new attempts in Congress for
further restrictions Of immigration
and despotic regulation of the life of
immigrants already admitted into this
country. Mr.. A. Wohliner, in an ar
| ticlc on this subject in the New War
heit, points to the dangerous agita-
ton of the organized employers of
| this country who favor an immigra-
ton law that would give them plen-
| ty of laborers when they need them,
Js4ith a proviso of getting rid Of them
/ when their work becomes unneces-
sary. Mr.. Wohliner is particularly
afraid of a law to register all immi.
grants. He says: at is certain that
law to register all aliens will be
adopted this year. A CZarist pass
port system will be established in
| free America, the home of the free
and the land of the brave. For the
| first time in our history the resi-
dents of this country will be divided
into desirables and non-desirables,
and Czarist control system will be
established, with its political espion-
age, compulsory Americanization and
deportation.
"On this point, the destiny of the
immigrant is sealed. Of the Ameri-
can tradition, freedom for al, very
little remains. This, however, is not
the only thing that will be done
against the aliens. The Manufac-
turers' Association wants something
else. Its wishes are supported by
others, and they desire the follow
ing: immigrants should be admitted
from various countries, not on the
quota basis, but on the basis of the
economic needs of the land. In other
words, if, in a given year, we need
mostly agricultural laborers, only
Swdish and Polish peasants will be
admitted, tailors and shoemakers will
be kept out. If in another year, min,
ers and railway builders will be nee
essary, Italians and others will be
preferred at the expense of immigra-
ton from other lands. The manufac-
turers are trying to get as many lab
orers for themselves as they possibly
can, but they are cloaking their de-
sires under the guise of patriotism in
such a manner that organized labor
should not object"
