The Chicago Opera Co. has imported over a hundred singers and choristers. and has deprived a hundred American citizens of their places. One reason is that they could get labor cheaper. Secondly. they seem to like foreign names much better than the names of American families. even though the American can sing just as well as the foreign talent. Under the present law. immigration has been restricted in such a way that families of American citizens still remain separated. but a gap has been left open for the admission of choristers. movie stars. and musicians. through certain exceptions placed in the law.
