Chairman. speaks volumes with reference to the advantages accruing to the American workingman under the beneficent operation of Schedule K. What does It mean that. after 40 years in this Industry. out of 23.688 employees Investigated only 13.7 per cent were native born of native parents? What does it mean that 61 per cent are foreign born? What can it mean except that. while the American manufacturer with the aid of prohibitive tariffs has excluded his foreign competitor from the American market. the Americanborn workingman has been selling his labor free in the markets of the world and has been underbidden by his foreign competitor? And what becomes of all the talk about the "American standard of living" when a man is asked to live and raise a family on the paltry wage of $10.49 per week?
