Possible Democratic Programme in Montana
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-Congreseman
Carter, in lengthy interview in to-day's
Post on the senatorial outlook in Montana,
says: "I am satisfied that the State Audi
tor, whose duty it is under the law to call
the roll in the State House of Representa-
tives prior TO organization. will recognize
as members those persons declared by the
State returning board to have been elected;
hence the Republicans will have majority
of about six in the House on the first roll
call. The Senate will be tie. and. mas

Cannot Import Skilled Laborers.
WASHINGTON, Nov 21.--Mr. Edward Cord,
president of the Pittsburg Plate-glass Com
pany, recently wrote to the Treasury De-
partment to the effect that fifty skilled
laborers were required to keep their plant
in operation. and that as this was new in
dustry in the country 1T was necessary to
obtain the laborers from abroad. He de-
sired to be informed, before taking action.
In the matter il the importation OF the re-
quired laborers would be permitted. Act
ing Secretary Batchellor to-day informed
hinlthat he did not see how 1t could be
done. inasmuch the alien contract labor law
is absolute on the subject, and must be en-
forced, adding that as plate-glass mas been
manufactured in this cOnntry for over
twenty years it could hardly be regarded
as new industry.
