I assume tlat they were not. but if they were not organized it was the fault of tie narrowness of the labor movement that does not know how to reach the masses. The union slould greet the immigrant as a brother. The union man should teach him unionism. Instead of that. the labor leader looks upon every immigrant as ain enemy. If you are going. to keep down the supply of labor by keeping out immigration. why not limit childbirth?. That would be a way of keeping down the population. In 179S a Presbyterian minister by the name of Malthus suggested tlatand. now and then the theory crops npthat the polalltion is. too large. I haveno faith- in. the friend of labor wiho encourages. every. stupid. demand of the worker. checking at the same time every real aspiration of the working class for a greater share in lifes joys I find.it hard to.reconclie a vote for. restriction of immigration in thename of labor with a vote against childlabor legislation. Wehave had that exhibition here. The Representatives of many a Statevoted solidly for restriction of immigration and against childlabor legislation. Nor. have I much. respect for the labor leader who permits himself to be a tail to the kite of thepolitician. The union card should not be used for political trade.
