I was just explaining to the gentleman. and the gentleman from New York also just stated that they were birning the midnight oil in order to acquire an education. They do it with very great credit to themselves. I would like to say to the gentleman. quoting his distinguished friend the secretary of the American Federation of Labor. that he comments on the wages paid to the foreign born. If the gentleman will take the testimony of Mr. Morrison. the secretary of the American Federation of Labor. In regard to the garment workers of the United States. he will find that there are about 200.000 who are organized and affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. and that the greatest proportion of them are foreign born. On the east side in New York they obtain wages equal to $25 a week. and more or less than that. but usually iound about that figure. and that when organized they are all right.
