Speaker. the Western World. has watched the recent events in Poland with great atteition and hope. The image of Polish workers demanding to have free and independent trade unions and. with steady courage. simply exercising the right to strike has electrified working people around the globe. From the docks of Duluth to the mines of the Iron Range. my own home district has been enriched by the labor of thousands of immigrants from all the ancient states of Eastern Europe and the Baltic. In my district. the kinship we claim with those in the shipyards of Gdansk and the mines of Silesia is more than spiritual. We cannot resist sharing the pride which the Poles have earned the right to feel.
