Here it isa letter from New Haven. Conn.: DEAR Sin: There is a lot of talk at present on unemployment and ways and means to overcome it. I have never seen printed or heard expressed the opinion that an amendment to the present immigration law. giving the Secretary of Labor the right to shut off such immigration as was unnecessary. would be a partial solution to the problem. At a time such as we are passing through. when there are more people than jobs by several million. we should have the right to stop unwanted people coming here to aggravate the situation.
