I will say to the.gentleman that I have statistics from the Immigration Bureau which show that not less than 15.000 Europeans come into the port of New York and into Boston Harbor every spring and engage work about the coast as stone masons. bricklayers. and carpenters. as skilled artisans. earning from $2 to $5 a day. and at the end of the season they take the fruits of such labor to their foreign homes on foreign soil. every American labor organization in this country has asked Congress to recognize this evil and to stop it. You say you desire to stop immigration. - Here is an opportunity to protect American labor. and American labor has asked us to unite on some immigration bill that will stop foreign aliens. nonresidents. from coming here to compete with him on our soil. This provision will protect them.
