I have said that the larger strikes in recent years in Great Britain have been upon transportation companies. There have been strikes in Great Britain. strikes in Germany. strikes in France. but the fact is that the industrial classes in Great Britain are more content thanthey formerly were. and the fact is that the immigration which formerly came from Great Britain to the United States in large numbers. because industrial opportunities were greater in this country. has fallen to onehalf of what it formerly was. and the only large immigration which we get from Europe at the present time comes. not from Great Britain. not from Germany. not from France. because the industrial classes in those countries are content to stay at home. but it comes from the other lessfavored countries of Europe. and is induced very largely by the protected industries in this country. which use that labor when it gets here to the exclusion of American labor.
