70 NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW Hon. HIRAM W. JOHNSON: Regret unable attend, but wish register favor national-origin provision. C. H. WILMERDING. CHicAqo, ILL, February 5. 1929. HirAM W. JORNSON, House of Representatives: I shall be unable, because of an engagement I can not break, to attend hearing Wednesday. National origins means racial preservation. I hope national origins will prevail, Josep Lie. New York, N. Y., February 5, 1929. I — Hon, Hiram Jomnsoxw, United States Senate: Telegram relative to Nye resolution received, National Society Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America desire to go on record ag being vigorously opposed to any postponement or illumination of national-origins provision of immigration law: can not be personally present at hearing. Mrs. JoHN LAIDLAW BUEL. LircHFIELD, ConnN., February 5, 1929. BosToN, Mass, February 5, 1929. 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, Mivor. I may not be able to be here at a later meeting. The Cramrman. Yes, madam. 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 morning at 10. (Thereupon, at 12.03 o’clock p. m., the committee adjourned. to meet Saturday, February 9, 1929, at 10 o'clock.)
