In Pittsburgh on October 11, Senator Kenyon announced foreign labor must be Americanized. He said laws enabling naturalization will be pursued upon the committee’s return. Senators saw foreigners isolated in mills where English was rarely spoken and interpreters were needed. Proclamations appeared in many languages as dangers signs were posted. Kenyon insisted Americanization is essential and plans a strong congressional fight based on these observations.
