New York City is the great sweatshop center of this country. I have never failed to support any measure that would be helpful to the workers of this country in giving them better wages. shorter hours. better working conditions. and giving them the right to organize and to bargain collectively. I have always been most active in speaking and voting for measures to cut out foreign immigration and prevent the dumping of the products of foreign farms. mines. and factories into our country in competition with our American workers. Many of those from New York and other States who are fighting for this measure fought vigorously those salutary measures for the benefit of American labor. I am one of those who contend that this country cannot be prosperous unless the farmers and the workers of the Nation are prosperous.
