President. the Senate should pause and consider the conditions that confront the people of the United States at this hour. There is a situation so grave and so serious menacing our own country at this very nmment that it must appeal to the most conservativeminded man in the Chamber to consider well how we shall deal with that situation as it grows upon ushow we shall use the trust funds that are committed to us in the Treasury of the United States. A few days ago the secretary of the American Federation of Labor addressed the Committee on Immigration of the House of Representatives. He said that upon the most desultory and Imperfect advices that he had from over the country there were several hundred thousand men in tile United States out of employment. Senators may smile and treat this as a matter of little moment now. but you may regard it more seriously a little later.
