I come from a section of country which today is being visited by an industrial disturbance of serious import and effect. And that disturbance and that trouble is largely due to the presence there of this element of foreigners who have been lured from their homes across the sea by attractive promises of reward and now find themselves exposed to all the hardships and sufferings which can be visited upon that type of people under conditions of labor which exist in our coalmining camps. The history of West Virginia and of Pennsylvania and of other great industrial centers corroborates. in my opinion. the statemeit that. were it not for the commercialization of immigration causes for this legislation would largely have disappeared. Mr. Chairman.
