frfne OF contract-labor exclusion. That is
the source Of all the agitation along these
lines. 1t Is best TO speak plainly The
Americans who have got into the good
from these trades.
Il want to protest sainst that line Of
argument that We should try to keep out
new arrivals because our earnings will be
reduced. Tint Is not the real danger.
Have wages fallen In the last fifty years
or risen7 Yet immigrants have been COM
Ing In by the millions.
Our laboring class-if may use such
term-holds very unmannerly opinion
about the newcomers. They have not conf
dence enough In their own superiority re-
sultlng from their own advantages. We
ought to have a profound confidence from
our own experience on this soil OF the trust
worthy effects of freedom for every man.
I am no kind OF restrlctionist to any
body, either In education, religion or Inn
migration. We are all OF US pretty content
with the results OF the immigration of the
last eight generations. 1t has been the
source of our civilization and of our ideals.
AS to contract labor the law cannot
be enforced. never has been enforced, and
never ought to be enforced. A number of
years ago foreigner was induced TO COME
here from Switzerland. His name was
Louis Agassiz. His Importation was, of
course, gross interference with the rights
and privileges of the local teachers. He
afterward brought his boy to this country,
and he became the largest owner of the
largest producing copper mine in the world.
Not very bad for an immigrant who came
here by inducement''
Kansas City is going to have a labor tenn
pie. 1t looks now as If 1t would be erected
next spring. The Labor Temple Associ-
alton now has on hand about $1,000, and
additions to the fund are steadily coming
in. Thomas w. Lawson's Labor day check
for $1,000 gave the fund nice boost. One
of the great unions--the Stonecutters-as-
sessed it's members 80 cents a quarter for
a period OF three years, beginning With last
March, for the benefit of the temple fund.
The Temple Association also owns piece
of weii-located ground in Kansas City. This
property is valued at $4,000.
Among the recommendations the imm-
grafton conference, recently In session in
New York, will make to Congress will be
THAT inspection be made in the country
from which the immigrant comes, under the
supervision of the United States consul and
commission appointed for the purpose.
acter and financial standing can be more
easily obtained before starting upon
journey to a foreign country This sys-
TEN, dts advocates think, will go far toward
aiding the government In keeping out crimi-
nails, paupers and all objectionable subjects.
The conference asks that the laws regulat-
ing Chinese and Japanese labor be rigidly
enforced, particularly that portion of the
law which allows merchants and students
admission to the United States so easily.
1t is claimed that under cover of this law
many enter each year and remain

Murdered After Desperate Struggle.

Mrs. Dora Suggs was assaulted and muir
dered near Manu. Fla, Monday. She had
been in Miami shopping and her nephew
accompanied her part of the way home.
Mr. Suggs was alarmed by the team return

which the whole neighborhood joined, re-
suited in finding her mutilated body The
ground around 1t showed signs of a severe
and protracted struggle. One hundred and
fifty armed men are searching the woods
and feeling is at fever heat.
