SECRETARY MORRISON
OLAMES EMPLOYERS
WASHINGTON, Feb 5—Frank
Morrison, Secretary of the American
Tederation of Labor told the immigra
tion Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives that should unemploy
ment increase in the United States
at he present rate, the government
would find it necessary to use sol
diers who are being returned from
over seas to preserve order in thi9
cdurnty.
Morrison told the committee that
the I. W. W. movement and the
growth of the Bolshevik sentiments in
this country was directly traceable to
the policy pursued by many employ
ers forbidding their employees to join
a labor organization
The members of the committee
were startled —*•->« Morrison made
the above statements and expressed
the opinoin that he government would
have to adopt some policy to stop the
unrest of American labor.
WASHINGTON, Feb 4—Communi
cations received by Frank Morrison I
from employers and labor union rep
resentatives urge him to induce the
Committee on Rules of the House of
Congress to facilitate the passing of
the bill now before Congress barring
immigration for at least four
years.
Mr Morrison stated to the Commit
tee that all who had communicated
with him were in unison on this im
migration question.
The only relief of the present dis
tressing situation was the pending bill
barring all immigration for the next
four years, thus giving the Ameri
can industries a chance to adjust
themselves to peace time condition.
The bill if passed would in Mr
Morrison’s opinion do much towards
mitigating the unrest of labor in the
United States while if unrestricted
immigration was allowed, the dump
ing of cheap European labor on an
already overstocked American labor
market serious results might follow.
WASHINGTON, Feb 4—Senator
Kellogg speaking on the immigration
bill in the U. S. Senate told the sen
ators that the Bolshevik doctrine has
invaded the United States and is mak
ing ranid headway among the work-j
ing people.
He warned the Senators that if
they did not take steps immediately
to cope with the unemployment sit
uation which is nearing a crisis in
this country, the laboring people be
ing restless and dissatisfied with ex
isting conditions might be led astray
by the Bolshevik agitators with dis
astrous results to this country.
