Mexico's Quota
President Eugene G. Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation has an answer to Judge Gary's plea for letting down the immigration bars. He announced that he had 1,000 Mexican laborers at work in his plants, that they were efficient and reliable, and that since there was no restriction on Mexican immigration, the steel industry could replenish its labor shortage with Mexican labor without seriously disturbing economic and labor conditions in the steel towns. It is expected that many employers of common labor will take advantage of the fact that Mexican labor has no legal quota limit, and recruit their desired labor south of the Rio Grande.
