The- great mass of laboring men in my district have approved of my course on this measure. as well as many others. and I leave my record to them. knowing that they will judge It fairly and honestly. Very sincerely. yours. THOMAS F. Ko.yop. Mr. Chairman. the main argument that is presented in favor of this bill Is that immigration competes with American labor. that it lowers wages and in that way lowers the American standard of living. Immigration in general is charged with all the ills of our industrial system. Mr. Chairman. I believe this Is an assertion without any proof whatever.
