If you claim that any of these races are really cutting down wages ao that they have materially affected the general wage level of this -country. then I reply you are mistaken. you will learn the effect is confined to a few spots. and the remedy for those spots is not to be found In prohibiting men from entering our country. but in proper legislation. humane treatment. and sensible advice. Best assured that just as soon as a foreigner obtains a sufficient amount of capital so that he dare protest his rights he will protest them.. Accordingly they sometimes strike. and when they do their action is discussed as. though striking by immigrants were the worst of crimes. It is all right for the American citizen to strike. but very wicked for the foreigner to Imitate his adopted brother. However. if the foreigner does! not strike you heap maledictions upon him. becausehe is too truculent and continuesto work for small wages.
