Search So Far Fruitless.

Although the police are far from
giving up the search for the bicycle
thieves who have been operating sue
cessfully in Hammond for some time,
they have nothing to report that would
lead to a clew. They are satisfied that
the thefts are the result of the work
of gang who make 1t their business
to steal the wheels of unsuspecting
owners. They are also satisfied that
the stolen wheels are not disposed
OF in Hammond. Several years ago they
broke up a gang, and If the stealing
continues they are confident that they
can break up this gang, too.

LET THE LAWS
Be MORE
STRICT
Too Many Undesirable Foreigners
Getting Into This Country.-The
War Against the White-Slave
Traffic Fully Described.
[Ry Associated Press. ]

Washington, Feb. l6,-Not fur
ther restrictions but merely to make
possible such restriction as the exist
ing law intends but has not accom-
plished, is the object of proposed
new immigration law recommended
by Daniel J. keefe, the Commis-
sioner General of immigration in his
annual report for the fiscal year
1909. 1t is proposed to accomplish
this by codifying, arranging in logical
sequence and strengthing at their
weak points all existing laws on the
general subject of immigration and
Chinese exclusion.
Some of the principal suggestions
are:
So defining the term "alien" as to
leave no doubt that 1t includes all
persons not citizens; extending the
contract labor provisions to forbid
and penalize the inducement of i'm
migration by false as well as genu-
inc promises of employment. pen
alizing an attempt to import foreign
laborers, and permitting the fmpor-'
tation of alien skilled laborers IL
labor of like kind unemployed can
not be found here only If the consent
of the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor is obtained in advance; in
creasing the fine against steamship
companies for taking on board dang
erously diseased aliens from 500 to
5000.
Mr.. Keefe believes the time is ripe
for the adoption of even stricter
measures and suggests that a pro-
posal worthy of careful thought Ia
that all male aliens between 16 and
so be required to pass physical ex-
animation equal to that observed for
army recruits.
Touching the white slave" traffic
the report sets out that special
investigation conducted throughout
the country and though general ex-
periences of the year, make 1t ap-
parent that an enormous business ia
done in importing and distributing
foreign women for immoral pur-
poses, including the seduction and
of alien women and girls

TODAY 30 PER CENT OF
ENGINEERS WALK OUT
-..MANY MINES TIED UP
IRy Associated Press. ]


Butte. Mont, Feb 16.-Failing to
obtain from the mine owners of the
district certain concessions in regard
to jurisdictional disputes, 80 per cent
of the hoisting engineers employed
in the Butte mines deserted their
posts this morning.
AS a result of the walkout, shut
down of all mining operations in the
Butte district is threatened.
The men who are involved in the
dispute are members of International
Engineers Union No. 1873.
Operations were continued today
in only four of the Amalgamated
Copper Company's properties-the
Silver Bow. the Berkeley. Mountain
and Buffalo. Six hundred miners
were lowered into these mines this
morning; but It is expected that the
next shift will be composed of fewer
men, as some OF the night engineers
will not report for duty this after
noon. ~
One man is working at the Never
sweat
All the other mines of the district
are tied up.
The walk-out was effected, without
the least disturbance, at the end of
the night shift. The engineers mere
ly gathered up their belongings and
left. In most instances the engineers
who usually followed on the day shift
did not report for duty, and the min
ers who gathered at the shafts TO be
lowered into the mines were turned
off for the day.

MoOTED QUESTION ON
AFF|L|AT|ON COMES UP
[By Associated Press. ]

Denver, Feb. 16.-"Shall the West
ern Federation of Miners affiliate
with the American Federation of La
bor?" is the question to be submitted
to referendum vote probably within
the week.
This step is recommended by the
special committee which was appoint
ed at the last convention of the West
ern Federation of Miners to investi-
gate the proposal. This committee
was headed by Charles II. Meyer, the
president OF the federation.
In its report, just completed. 1t is
agreed that the executive committee
should take immediate action on sub
mitting the vote to the members.
A closer affiliation with the United
Mine Workers of America is said to
be the real object of the movement.
The effect will probably be work
ing agreement whereby the United
Mine Workers win be given jurisdic-
tion over all coal miners and the
Western Federation Jurisdiction over
all metaliferous miners.
