I think that one of the things that has so distressed New England recently is the constant influx of considerable numbers of the longestablished FrenchCanadian -type from eastern Canada and the Maritime Provinces Into New England. Those men continue to arrive. in New England factory cities. where the mills are already overmanned.-. I am told that some 80.000 or 90.000 immigrant workers. skilled and unskilled. have domiciled themselves in the New England States since the passage of the 1924 act. that the mills there at no time have been able to employ them. So even the 90.000. a limited number. that stopped in New England after reaching the United Sta.tes added several burdensnonemployment. crime. increased taxes for charities and schools. besides driving the older established laborers on to newer fields. where their arrival upsets labor conditions. cuts wages. creates strikes. lockouts. riots. and even murder.
