I hold here a letter signed by Mr. Barger. general secretary of the United Garment Workers of America. saying: We are firmly convinced that this bill means much to the United States and Its citizens. As a result of our present law of immigration we find growing up in our country colonies the members of which never become Americanized and ore under the influence and power of a foreign Government. We feel unrestricted immigration Is a menace to American living standards and can not but result In disaster. not only to the workingmen but to the small business men as well. There are numbers of these letters from laborunion officials. Seven hundred thousand workmen in Massachusettsthe State from which certain gentlemen from Boston come. where they assemble themselves in a little coterie and imagine that Boston Is all of Massachusetts and most part of the United States. so far as this question is concerned.
