corporation was favored over other
manufacturers in buying steel. Mr.. Far

He added that the foreign business of
the corporation now was being threat

cost than the corporation.

author of the Burnett-D Dillingham; bill
vetoed by President Taft.
Senator Dillinghams bill will pro-
pose a restriction upon the number
of immigrants from any country to
be fixed at 10 per cent of the num-
Der of persons Of similar nationality
who were shown to be residents of
the United States at the time Of the
last census
The senator estimates that his new
method of limiting immigration would
greatly reduce the annual influx from
Italy, Austria Hungary, Greece and
Turkey; and would at the same time
allow an increase in the number OF
immigrants who might enter from
Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Nor
way and all countries of northern and
western Europe.
A statement issued tonight from the
office Of the commissioner general of
immigration declared that the pres
ent immigration law scarcely ex-
cludes any except those afflicted with
serious mental or physical defects
and has but little effect in reducing
the great influx of aliens.
Notwithstanding the mandatory
provisions of the law" said the state
ment, "it has been difficult in the
past to deport even when aliens are
mentally or physically defective. 1t
has become customary for friends or
philanthropic societies to appeal in
behalf Of rejected aliens and in TAX
ing such appeals little or no consider
alton is given to the merits of the
case"
During the last fiscal year, the
statement added, 1,033,212 aliens ap-
piled for admission and only 1 IA
per cent were excluded for all causes
while the indications were that an
even greater number would be admit
ted this year.
