Immigration (luring the war 0:,s practically stopped, said Mr. Rothen- berg, adding that 18.000 immigrants came here in 1918, a smaller number in 1919 and only 350.000 during the tiro ten month , of 1921). an average id 35,000 a month less last year than the usual increase in the population from this conree. \lax Pine of the Vilited Ilebrew Trades, an organization constituting the central labor body of New York and the Trades Immigration Bureau, said the joint membership of 250,000 opposed the bill because business Con- ditions did not warrant its passage. "As trades-unionists we are not afraid that the new immigrant will undermine and lower the American standard of living," he asserted. "If it were true that the immigrant lowers the standard of living, Ameri- can wages would be steinlily declin- ing. As a matter of fact, wages have sir wilily mounted." .1 grout, which desired the Secre- tary of Labor to retain discretion over the admission of Mexican labor to this country, under the customary regulations, included J. \ Harm,' of the Fi Paso Chamber of Cony inerce; W. 11.
