Ind.. was voted by delegates fresh from the mines. and who represented practically all of the mining districts throughout the United States. There were represented in that convention approximately 415.000 miners. which -trade probably has a larger percentage of -foreignborn workmen than any other. Will anyone say that the delegates to this convention did not reflect the will of the majority of their unions in passing a resolution in opposition to immigration?. No one believes that they acted contrary to the will of the maJority of the mine workers of the country or with any spirit of bad feeling or ill will toward the foreigners. Those who are working at their trades. associating with their fellow workers in the industrial grind. so to speak. know better what is best for their own interests than do those who are practicing law. and it is an error on the part of any gentleman to say that their .environments are such that they do not understand questions directly concerning the wage earners.
