AMERICAN WORKERS MOST EXPLOITED.

British Consul's Ke?3ort Revea!s Damning Fact. The British Board of Trade has issued a report from Consul Bennett regarding the. trade of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut for 1910. It contains the following comparison between American and European labor: "Every worker in America puts more energy into his work than does the European in his own country. Speeding is partly responsible for tin's, but the reserve "of energy is no greater in America than in European stock. American energy is consequently exhausted more rapidly. At between the ages of 40 and 50, when the European workman is at his best, the American frequently breaks down. Physical exhaustion, dyspepsia, or nervous prostration follow," and the man's life as a worker is done. His place is taken by a younger man. ' " So long as there is an abundant suppb'. of labor through foreign immif ration, the vacant places can easily c filled; if the stream stops there will not be so much heard of the superiority of the American working man, for America would then have to depend upon her own children, whose stock «f vitality is no greater than that of their parents, whether American or foreign."
