John Frey represented the American Federation of Labor before the committee. testifying in favor of the bill. If you really want to do something for the youth of the country. this is one of the best bills you can pass. because it will encourage them to learn a skilled trade as a means of livelihood. In the past 25 years over one million and a quarter mechanics have come here from the European countries. and I am going to tell the Members of the House now that if a bill of this nature is not passed and a system of this kind not established. within 10 years you will lower your immigration bars in order to get mechanics from across the water. We have a need for mechanics in special lines today. Industry is crying for them and still we are passing laws here to put the youth of our country into the forests. instead of encouraging them to go back into the trades and become skilled mechanics.
