You have to win them by affection and bly having them understand what Anerica means to then as the laud of equal Opportunity md justice. affording a chance for their families. better milk for the babies. better living doaditions. better chances to play. and all such things resulting in happier lives. They do not get flose things from any other source. and they can not get them. In the iron and steel industries of this country about 58 per cent of the employees are foreign born. in the meat1ncking industry 1 per cent are foreign born. in coal mining 62 per cent. in the woolengoods industry 62 per cent. in cotton goods. 69 per cent. in clothing 72 per cent. in oil refining 67 per cent. in sugar relining 85 per cent. We have placed the very heart of American industry in the hands of men who are born in other lnds. a small percentage of whom. are naturalized and a large percentage of whom are illiterate. subject to insidilous propaganda. which we are not organized to coml)at. Some of the nianufacturing concerns of the country are refusing to elploy men who are illiterates. That works badly.
