The Ameiican and Englishspeaking coal miners have been supplanted by a lot of aliens who can neither read nor speak a word of English, willing to work for any compensation the mine owner may fix. Neither the McKinley nor the Dingley bill contained a provision to protect the American from competition with the foreign laborer.
