Washington, Nov. 2l.-All of the

General Meyer. Secretary Of the In

the department of commerce and labor

explain in his annual report to be made

the principles underlying the organi-

the immigration service. This bureau
gathers information from those who
seek to engage labor and furnishes that
information to immigrants coming to
this country to seek work. The scope
of the bureau is limited to immigrants
only, while the plan Secretary Straus
has Just developed will be applicable
to all seeking employment. Whether
President Roosevelt will give his APP
prevail to the idea in his annual mes
