I will say that the garment workers in the United States are organized in a subsidiary branch o. the American Federation of Labor. and most of them are of foreign birth. They demand and obtain American wages. It is also true that most of the 400.000 miners in the United Mine Workers. which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. are foreign born. They work at a wage rate that is sanctioned by the unions. The gentleman will find this statement borne out if he will examine the testimony of Secretary Morrison. of the American Federation of Labor. who appeared recently before the Committee on Immigration and Naturaliza. tion in opposition to further immigration. I think it can be fairly asserted that wherever the foreign workman who has come to the United States In good faith has settled down to his work he manages to get as much pay as the native workman for the same kind of work. I venture that as a general proposition.
