Our people are intensely Interested in this question. With us It is not a question of theory. Every day we are up against the actual results of what it means to have an unlimited flood of immigration coming here all the time. The change in conditions because of the war which resulted in hundreds of thousands of foreigners going back home and the consequent reduction of immigration has produced concrete evidence of the improvement In the average mans affairs In this country to such an extent that the demand for restriction is considerably stronger. even in the labor movement. than before the war. and we sincerely trust that the rumors that there is intention not to push the Burnett bill at this session in the Senate are wrong. but that. on the contrary. this bill will be acted upon. so that before the war closes this proposal will be a law for whatever good It can do before the tide of Immigration starts this way again. Yours. respectfully. RALPH V.
