Speech #780051683

In closing. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Ways and Means Committee. we respectfully urge that your committee be consistent. and as you have very wisely voted to reject the authority sought to suspend our immigration laws. likewise we urge that you reject the authorization requested to suspend our tariff laws (p. 758). The American Flint Glass Workers Union supports the American policy and position of the American Federation of Labor in opposition to the landing in American markets of foreign competitive goods at less than American cost of production. The American Flint Glass Workers Union is unalterably opposed to continued authorization for trade treaties unless said authorization provides for congressional approval or Senate ratification. that such trade treaties be terminated at the conclusion of the present war. or that no provision be made for the entry into American markets of foreignmade competitive goods at less than American cost of production.
