The investigation made by the commission could not. of course. be as broad as the investigation made by the Bureau of the Census. As I said in opening. the commission made (heir studies in the centers of large industries. and it was intended to secure and present a picture of the imnigration problem as found in those centers. We could not. of course. take up every manufacturing establishment in the country. nor by particular sections. So we selected 37 of the most important industries east of the Rocky Mountains. and then sent to the most important centers of each particular industry. and there made our investigations to secure a general picture of the effect of immigration upon manufactures in the United States under typical conditions. An examination of the reports of the Bureau of the Census would. of course. furnish the information that the Senator from Georgia suggests as to the production of manufactures in the several States. and it would be a most interesting study.
