I shall be unable, because of an engagement I can not break, to attend

Hon. Hiram JOHNSON, 
United States Senate, Washington, D. C.: 
During the last four years, some fifty or sixty thousand new foreign workers 
have entered Massachusetts. During the same period exceptional unemploy- 
ment in Massachusetts has been continuous with consequent distress. The 
same conditions have existed in many other parts of the country. Under 
changed industrial conditions we have more than plenty of labor for our 
work and not enough jebs for our own people. Only a limited interest that 
wants peon labor is opposed to all-round restriction. If your committee will 
report out a bill cutting down ull the larger quotas to 10,000 and limiting all 
countries whether East or West Hemisphere to the same number it will have 
the country’s approval. The people are sick of racial controversies, and of 
the injection of foreign interests into onr legislation and they want restriction. 
They want American jobs for Americans. The best way is to cut the Gordian 
Knot and give it to us while yet there is time. I can not attend hearing, but 
would say this if I were there. 
Ricuarns M. BrapLey, 
The Cmarman. Now, gentlemen of the committee, when do you 
want to resume? 
Senator ReEp. Saturday morning will be all right.

Mrs. Minor. May I state T am here representing the Daughters of 
Founders and Patriots of America, a society of 25,000 women? We 
do not favor the Nye amendment. We do favor the national origins. 
The Crmarrmax. Will you give vour name to the reporter so that 
he may have it. 
C Mrs. Minor. My name is Ms. George Maynard Minor, Waterford, 
onn. 
The Cuamrmax. We will now stand adjourned until Saturday
