The piece argues that Gowan’s claim of a rose colored solution hides a calculated push to flood Pennsylvania’s mines with English workers. It warns of wage pressure, potential strikes, and a race like conflict between labor and capital. Radicals in England oppose the influx, fearing vote loss. The editorial says the move would harm both American and English miners and will not succeed.
