ration of Hungarian Independence
Day at Youngstown, Ohio, and re-
presenting the sentiments Of thous-
ands of good Americans of Magyar
birth and their American descend
ants having discussed legislation
pending before Congress on matters
affecting immigration adopted I'M
animously the following resolutions
and decreed that the secretary of
the Grand Committee Of Hungarian
Churches and Societies of the Mahon-
ing Valley representing more than
10000 people forward these resolu-
tions to the Hon, Frank B. Willis
and the Hon. Simeon D. Fess senat-
ors of the State of Ohio and to the
Hon, John G.. Cooper, our represent
ative in Congress
Whereas the 10th Congress of the
United States assembly in Decem-
ber Of this year may be asked to
pass a proposed law requiring the
registration of aliens in the Unit
ed States and whereas in our humble
opinion this proposed law, which to
our information contains provisions
for the finger printing, and photo
graphing of aliens together with a
!, fee fof such registration; and where
as the United States of America is
known the World over as the home
of the Free, where Liberty and
Equality reign and where the op-
pressed and the prosecuted of other
countries found safe Haven; and
whereas there are in this Mahoning
Valley hundreds of aliens resident
here for last past 20 or 80 years;
and whereas most of these long time
resident aliens can not secure ,their
citizenship papers because of the
requirements Of the present natura-
lization laws; and whereas all of

in spirit, owning their own pro-
perty and paying taxes to city, coun-
ty, state and the sustenance Of fed
eral government, and whereas near
ly all the children Of the said old
immigrants have been born in the
United States have received their
education in the public schools Of
the United States, are in many in
stances voting citizens; and where
as the registration, finger printing
photographing of aliens would great
ly humiliate not only these older
residents but all those aliens who
came to the shores Of America in
the pursuit of liberty, freedom and
happines; and whereas the proposed
law would tend to greatly restrict
the freedom Of movement of said
aliens, making them but Nttle better
than the slaves of the South for the
freedom Of which SO many thousands
of true Americans, among them ma
ny of Hungarian extraction fought
and died under the great emancipat-
or Abraham Lincoln and whereas
this proposed law in our opinion is
Un-American, because it establishes
classes, therefore.
BE it Resolved, that we protest
with our entire vigor against the
enactment Of this proposed law or
any laws similar in sense and con-
sequence and we ask our represent
atives in both Houses Of Congress
to oppose with all their zeal the
passage Of said laws
WHEREAS there will be pending
also before the next Congress an
amendment to the present immigra-
tion laws permitting the classified
