T0GENERAL CITIZENSHIP
BUREAU TO BE ORGANIZED IN WASHINGTON AT
ONCE SECRETARY M ETCALF RETURNS TO

tons of the bureau, of which Mr.. Sar-
gent has charge.
The law says that the bureau of
immigration and naturalization, in ad-
dition to the duties now provided by
law, shall have charge of all matters
concerning the naturalization of aliens.
The first section, which is imme-
diately effective, provides:
That it shall be the duty of the
bureau to provide for use at the var
ious immigration stations throughout
the United States books of record,
wherein the commissioners Of immi-
grafton shall cause a registry to be
made in the case of each alien arriv-
ing in the United States, OF the name,
age, occupation, personal description,
the place OF birth, the last residence,
the intended place of residence in the
United States. the date of arrival of
the alien and the name of the vessel in
which he comes.
To enforce this particular feature
of the new law, it. is declared, the
department of commerce Is already
prepared, as it has been rule of the
immigration bureau for many years to
keep record of each alien arriving
precisely in the method prescribed by
the new law, except that index cards
have been used instead of books of
record, and it is believed that the card
index system will meet all the require
ments.
Secretary Metcalf's first step in pre-
pairing to administer the naturaliza-
ton act will be to issue circular for
mally notifying the governors of the
various states of the terms of the act.
1t Is assumed the governors will
then issue proclamations notifying the
state courts of the provisions of the
new federal statute.
1t is recognized that to enforce a
uniform rule for the naturalization Of
aliens throughout the United States
the cooperation of the state courts
with authority to issue naturalization
certificates is necessary. Under the
new law, all courts, state. territorial
and federal, must obtain naturaliza-

Washington. D. c., July 6-Secre-
tary Metcalf has returned to Washing
ton from New Haven and Immediate
ly took steps preparatory to organ
izing the naturalization bureau under
the authority of the law just enacted
by congress establishing a bureau of
immigration and naturalization. That
part of the act relating to the appoint
ment of officers to look after the work
and providing for quarters in Wash
ington becomes effective Immediately.
Mr.. Metcalf regards the new natural
ization law as Of great Importance to
the country and Is determined to ex-
ert his best efforts to provide the prop
err machinery for its efficient admins
tratiOn. He has not yet perfected his
plans, but as the provision of the law
prescribing fixed and uniform sys-
TEN and code of procedure in natural
izatfon matters does not go into
operation until ninety days after the
passage of the act, it is expected that
the bureau will be fully organized and
ready for business when the time
comes for its work to begin.
The great frauds in naturalization
which have prevailed under the old
system-thousands of fraudulent GER
tificates having been issued. and even
sold, and citizenship conferred upon
those not entitled to twill. it is be-
lieved, be prevented altogether by the
new law.
With the offices of the department
of commerce already overcrowded, one
of Secretary Metcalf's first difficulties
will be to find quarters for the new
clerks and officers required for the ad-
ditional work imposed upon the de-
partment. There are at present few
men in the department familiar with
naturalization matters. and the addi-
tional authority conferred by the pass
age of the naturalization act will open
a new field. 1t is thought that spec
ial officer to act as an assistant to Mr..
Sargent, the commissioner general of
immigration, will be appointed to give
special supervision to the new func-

ment Makes Trouble Mt Peg.
Special to The Evening Times.
Winnipeg. Man., July 6.-Wednesday
morning as anticipated the union
plumbers went on strike. A large
number of the employers in the city re-
fused to sign the working agreement
insisted on by the men and the latter
walked out of the shops in question.
Last night fourteen firms had signed
and the men professed to be confident
that the others would soon be in line.
The men claim that their demands
are only in reason and that the EN-
ployers could grant them without in
conveniencing themselves. The men
also claim that the employers are al
ready in peck of trouble over the
strike and would simply have to some
to terms. The scale asked for is from
40 to 52Ts cents per hour for an eight
hour day At present the rate is IS
to SO cents for nine hour day. About
IS men are engaged in the strike.
The employers, on the other hand,
seem determined to hold out; but a
prolonged strike would certainly be
prejudicial to building operations.

of immigration and naturalization, and
the acquisitions must come from the
clerks of courts of record. All certifi-
Gates OF naturalization must be con-
secutively numbered and printed on
safety paper furnished by the bureau.
There are two provisions of especial
importance in the naturalization act,
because they are intended to raise the
standard of citizenship. The first is
that before an alien may be natural
ICED he must be able to speak the Eng
fish language, and the second, that an
alien must intend to reside perma-
nently in the United States before he
is entitled to naturalization.
