I do not know to what extent the factories have drawn upon the farms of the West to make up the shortage in labor which confronts them. which is a problem with them. not only for the purposes of normal operation but in connection with any prospective expansion of their business. but I know this. Mr. President: If we shall pass this immigration billand I hope we will pass it. the general welfare of this country requires that it should be passedif we shall pass it. I repeat. and this shortage in factory labor shall continue. if there is to be expansion and development in the manufacturing industries of this countryand I hope there will be--it will be necessary for them to get their unskilled labor. at least. in this country. and there is nowhere that they can get it in this country except from the farms. and while the movement of recruiting labor from the farms for this purpose may not up to this time have begun in the West. undoubtedly it will begin as soon as the supply In the South has been exhausted. and the West. if not now In a very short time. will find itself in tie same condition of labor shortage which confronts us in the South.
