bers present at the general meeting
which was held in the Lake superior
court house last night
A. NJ Turner was present and stated
that the manufacturers of Hammond
were very anxious that congress be
memorialized to avoid making the re-
quirements for the admission of for
eigners too strict for the reason that
there is already a great scarcity of
common labor and that the deficiency
could only be made up by immigration.
William J. WINERY, who has made
something of study of the matter.
said that he believed the Chamber of
Commerce should proceed with caution
as the question of encouraging the i'm
migration of undesirable foreigners is
serious.
The matter was finally referred to
special committee which is expected to
make a study of the matter and re-
port back to the board of directors of
the organization.
The question of having a settlement

of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce
was not approved, but the members, in
