MAY INDUCE IMMIGRATION
South Carolina Did Not Violate Law
BY Paying Their Expenses.

BY Paying Their Expenses.
Washington. Dec. l9.-An important
decision has been rendered by Secre-
tary Straus. of the department OF COM
merce and labor. as to the right OF a
state to induce immigration to that
state. The decision holds, In brief,
that in the circumstances there Is no
violation of the immigration laws or OF
the law to TAohibit the importation OF
alien contract laborers in the action
OF the state OF South Carolina. In iris
particular case. in encouraging immi-
grafton to that state or In paying the
necessary expenses of the immigrants
In coming TO the state.
The question Of the right Of a state.
under the national immigration laws.
to encourage immigration was raised
by the officials of another southern
state. II was referred to the depart
ment Of commerce and labor. Realizing
It's Importance. Secretary Metcslf re
ferred the legal question involved to
Solicitor Earl OF the department for
an opinion. Mr.. Earl considered very
carefully the facts of the case In con.
nection with the statutes bearing upon
II and arrived finally at the conclusion
that there had been no violation OF the
national law by the authorities OF
South Carolina. The opinion Of Solicit
tor Earl goes fully into a discussion oi
the law respecting immigration. He
finds that 80 far as the prohibition
against assisting the importation OF
migration OF foreign laborers by prom
ise OF employment through advertise
ments abroad is concerned. states and
territories are expressly excepted from
the operation of the law" He says
further: by the terms of the proviso
states and territories may offer In
ducements or make promises to foreign
laborers. by advertisement printed
and published in foreign lands. and
they are not forbidden TO assist in
the migration of the foreign laborers
to whom such offers are addressed"

SERMON ON DEATH

Minister breaches One Who

Will he be able to win this game?

Again the sphere flies by while the
batter stands unmoved.
There is but one more chance.
He pulls himself together, his
frame like iron.
His features are immovable; the
ball once more speeds toward the
plate.
With one supreme effort he swings
the stick and sends the ball to a dis
tant corner OF the field, and the daunt-
less Ewing starts upon his last circle
of the bases.
"One, two, three-tbe ball is being
rapidly returned.

NAY QUIT CONFERENCE
Michigan Tired of Being Governed
by Bunch Of Small
Schools.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 1.-The Uni
versity of Michigan may withdraw FROM
the western intercollegiate conference
as result OF the widespread dissatis-
faction among Michigan followers OF
the game with the manner in which the
present football season is being con-
Quoted
Already a determined effort is on foot
TO secure Michigan's withdrawal Coach
Yost. Trainer Fitzpatrick and especially
Manager Baird are said to favor the ac-
ton, while the student body unanimous
ly advocates it. The question will be
brought to the attention of the faculty
board OF control at once.
The argument is that Michigan e.
ruled by G lot OF small colleges which
she never meets and that the whole
athletic system here is suffering from
the result. Especial objection is raised
to the five-game rule. In fact, the
whole body of new rules passed by the
conference is looked upon as q triumph
in diplomacy on the part OF Chicago
which has done Michigan Up.
This year the Illinois game Is the
only contest Michigan has with a con-
ference college, and her withdrawal
would not prevent the scheduling of
games and maintenance Of cordial rela-
tons with members Of the Big Five.
