Mass.. a few months ago. followed the flags on which were emblazoned: "No God. no law. no master." A gentleman representing the Order of Railway Conductors recently told me that he and his sister 20 years ago worked in the textile mills at Lawrence. and that it was then perfectly proper for respectable girls to work there. But he said that since the low class of foreigners had driven the Americans and the old Europeans from these mills it had become the breeding ground for the whiteslave trade and that few decent girls want to live within that contaminating atmosphere. Gentlemen have said in this debate that Americans would no longer do the class of work that the immigrant from southern Europe does. Mr. Chairman. this is not true.
