No. and the gentleman from Illinois. as a laborunion man himself and because of his industry and zeal in investigating labor conditions. should know it would not protect laboring men in this country to restrict immigration of illiterates. for the simple reason that these great industrial trusts for whom the laboring men work do not concern themselves at all with sentimental reasons. It is just a matter of supply and demand with them. and they could and would exploit and enslave poor Poles or Jews or Italians or Greeks who could read a little just as heartlessly as they would exploit and enslave an illiterate Turk or Bulgarian. The laborunion leaders have considered only onehalf of this question.
