Mr. Chairman. I hope I may be permitted to divert from tIld subjet before the House for a few minutes. Yesterday mornings Washington Post contained a statement made by Mr. Morrison. secretary of the American Federation of Labor. before the Committee on Immigration. in which it is said that there are a certain number of unemployed men about the country. He gave the number unemployed in various cities. Ainong others lie named the city of Aberdeen. Wash.. where he is quoted as saying there were 3.000 unemployed laborers. I was under the impression that Mr. Morrison was in error. I happen to be president of a logging company with headquarters in Aberdeen.
