Organized Labor for Immigration Bill
The Miners Convention at Indianapolis last week urged strong support for a pending immigration bill in Congress. They demand prohibition of immigration from foreign countries until all honest American labor is fully employed. The convention’s stance reflects widespread belief that more than 750 lawmakers support the bill, with about 60 opposing. It is held that any congressman voting against the measure risks defeat in the coming election, except those representing large foreign constituencies. The public favors limiting immigration while offering Americans steady jobs. European and other regions are urged to absorb excess immigrants. Americans should not be burdened.
