It puts the lie to the statement that Schedule K protects the "American " workman. because the information shows there are scarcely any "American " workers left in the woolen manufacturing industry to protect.

Bayonets and decreased wages for the men. women. and children workers. instead of the workingmans paradise. pictured by A.drich.
