Secretary Davis said that'at the end of hostilities there were literally millions of husky, two-fisted European workers eager to come to the United States, and this country was threat- ened with g flood of alien workers ready and willing to work for almost any wage, and that it was the Re- publican party which had the cour- age to meet this invasion and pass the necessary legislation to protect American labor.
