Chairman. I have been surprised at many statements made during this debate abounding not in fact. but statements made either in ignorance or otherwise. I want to call attention to the great outcry that has been made as to the harm that will come and the bad conditions that will come with respect to wages in labor centers unless immigration is checked. It is an economic question. Will anybody tell me why the native American. born on the farm and in the country. goes to the labor center? It is because he receives there more uniform and better pay than he gets on the farm and in the smaller city and village. That is the reason. and that is also the reason why the immigrants go to the labor centersfor more uniform employment at a better wage. Will anybody tell me why it is that this immense immigration to this country does not go South? I can tell you. It is because the wage in the North is better than it is in the South.
