Description

President Coolidge looks at a woman (representing American industry) squeezed into a suit marked “3 percent immigration” and says, “That really looks good on you. I should have such luck at the ballot box.” Referencing a speech Coolidge had given the previous week in which he said that reduced immigration would be good for America, the cartoon comments on the fact that a reduction in immigration will decrease the number of workers, leaving American industry without a sufficient work force.
