We must take into account that we have a :great many women in this country who are or are not voters. but who nevertheless have servant troubles. and I remind you that for the past two years aind during the entire period of the war it has been practically impossible t o procure adequate servant -help.

We are about to pass a permanent tariff bill. which we have promised the -country will open up the factories and the channels .of trade. The unemployment in 1014 was not because of the aliens.. but it was due to eight months of operation of the Underwood tariff law. and at that time. when there were 3.000.000 people out of employment in his country. we did not seek to pass a bill raising bars against immigrants. I shall vote for this almendment---
