I do not believe the gentleman. if he be a manufacturer. even intimated that his remarks should be applied to the woolen and cotton business. because they can not apply in the slightest degree. And to prove that. let me give you some statistics here. In the woolenmill industry In Massachusetts there are 38.801 men and women. of whom 5.038 have native fathers. 33.763 have foreign fathers. so that 87 per cent are of foreign parentage or foreign born. You can get all these figures from page 69 to page 114 of the census of Massachusetts for 1905. There are no later statistics available.
