TO CHECK IMMIGRATION.
Commission Urges the Restriction OF
Importation Of Unskilled Labor.

washington, Dec. 9.-Sentimenta
consideration in restricting immi-
grafton should be waived in lieu Of
the economic problems arising from
adverse effects on wages and living
conditions which the large number Of
aliens have had in recent years by
their entry into basic Industries, ac-
cording to the final report Of the
immigration commission transmitted
to Congress to-day. The commission
unanimously urges the restriction of
unskilled labor immigration.
The commission, created under the
immigration act Of 1907, expired to-
day and the results Of it's three-year
Investigation into practically all
phases Of the immigration question
make about forty printed volumes.
"The present immigration move
ment," says the report, lis in large
measure due to economic causes, but
emigration from Europe is not an
absolute economic necessity, and as
a rule those who immigrate to the
'hilSt cItlCS dlc llllDcllcu ny Il uc-
sire for better conditions rather than
by tire necessity of escaping from in
tOlcrable ones. This fact should
largely modify the natural incentive
10 treat the immigration movement
ON the standpoint of sentiment and
permit its consideration primarily as
All economic problem."
The commission presents for the
consideration OF Congress several
proposals by which restric ion OF i'm
migration might be effected, INCLUDE
Ing reading and writing test, the
exclusion Of unmarried, unskilled
laborers, limitations in the number
arriving at any one port and from
particular races, as we'll as in the
amounts OF money required to be in
their possession on arrival
The immigrants now coming, it is
agreed, do not furnish any moro
criminals or subjects for charity than
the native born, but the tendency to-
ward industrial and city life remains
unchanged in spite Of the fact that
statistics show the immigrants to
have been more successful in agri-
cultural pursuits. In connection with
these findings, the report urges
that the division Of information in
the bureau OF immigration be so con-
Quoted as to cooperate with the
States and various societies in more
beneficial distribution Of immigrants
among agricultural sections where
they are especially needed.
Efforts to exclude all British East
Indians through an agreement with
Great Britain, the continuance of the
p escnt Chinese exclusion laws as
we'll as present regulations with re-
gard to Japanese and Korean immi-
grafton, the passage of the House bill
for the deportation OF alien criminals
with changes in the immigration law
to make 1T applicable to allen seamen
