RICHMOND VA-Snecial

r l G I'll Nj . n ID, VA.-Special.-
Immediate action is expected on the
part of the State Council OF the Junior
order of American Mechanics protest
ing against the bill recently intro
duced i'm the United States Senate by
Senator Claude a. Swanson establish
ing an immigration station i'm Norfolk
and making immigration to this cOun-
try easier
Prominent members Of the order,
when seen this morning. expressed
their disapprOVal of the bill, and said
that they expected decisive steps on
the part of the State Council. us the
order is constitutiOnally opposed to
prOmiscuOus immigration.
Positive objections to loose immi-
grafton laws are voiced in the cOnsti-
tuition of the order. The order Vel
comes all who intend to become use
full citizens. but declares that there is
mot one square inch" of room in this
country for the socialist, the anarchist
or the nihiliSt.
Sociological investigations have
shown that the great majority of
Socialists Anarchists and Nihilists i'm
this country are foreign born and rep
resent the lowest grade OF society.
The Junior order of American Me-
chanics' being first of all a patriotic
society, objects to the Importation of
the lower European classes to this
country. and II especially objects. to
any law which is designed TO throw
down the bars 70 those who on ac-
count of political crimes i'm other
countries are forced to seek refuge for
themselves and their doctrines in the
United States.
There are numerous local orders of
the society scattered through the State,
about twelve or fifteen being in Rich
mOnd. The total strength of the or
der in Virginia is about 2O,0OO-all ac-
tive workers, and most of them regis
tered voters.
The call for Il meeting of the state
Council will probably be issued by Or.
William y. Gordon, of Rockingham
county. State counsellor. or by Vice
Counsellor i. II. Wharton, of this city.
