It is not as high as we all would wish it might be. It is enough to insure better labor conditions in the United States than exist anywhere else on earthso good that a million of the Caucasian race. from across the water. come here annually to avail themselves of the wage scale of the United States. [The time of Mr. CANNON having expired. by unanimous consent he was granted five minutes more.] The fact of the tremendous immigration to our shores answers all the speeches which have been made in criticism of labor conditions. Some may say that labor is oppressed in this country. but I ask. Why. then. does labor come to this country?
