In many cities were busy today plan
ming to furnish bail for the thirty-two
men convicted of a dynamite conspiracy

Conferences were held here to decide
just how far the Chicago labor organ
izations will go in the effort that is
being made ali over the United States
to free the prisoners pending an appeal
to the United States circuit court of ap-
peals. The structural iron workers who
live in Chicago hope to rush assistance
to the attorneys for the prisoners with
out delay. Those who own real estate

sureties. The other unions will decide
more deliberately what action they will
take.

Immigration is too fresh in the minds OF
readers To need relation at length. The
anti-Japanese sentiment had been rising
for years. but was brought to u climax
when the Japanese refused TO send their
children to the separate schools estab-

way into the white schools.
President Roosevelt sent Secretary Met
calf to make an investigation. and upon
the strength of Metcalfs report Roose-
welt went SO far as privately to threaten
to make California come TO terms By
force of arms. The upshot of the whole
matter was an agreement between the
two governments that no Japanese should
be admitted who did not possess pass
port and that passports should not be is
sued to laborers.

IMMIGRATION.
XXIV-lm Immigrants From Asia.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

So far as the coming of immigrants
from China. Japan and Korea is con-
cerned. conditions are now regarded as
satisfactory. The Chinese exclusion law
operates SO well and the agreement with
Japan is carried out with such good
faith by the Japanese government that
there are no changes recommended by
the immigration commission. But there
is another tide of Asiatc immigration
that is giving much concern to the Pa
cific coast. This IS the stream Of hui
mainly coming from India. These East
Indian coolies are Aryans. and belong to
that immigrant tide which swept out of
the cradle of the race far up in north
western Asia and down through the lands
of the Modes and Persians into India.
But, according to the findings of the i'm
migration commission. they are, from no
point of view, desirable members of the

years ago to Canada's desire to exclude

to induce the British government to stop

same policy that Japan prevents Japa-

Senator Gallinger. chairman Of the Sem

his respects to Engineer Commissioners
William '. Judson. In substance, SEN

| A large majority of them come here am
bitious to save $1,000 and then return
home. However. many of, them come to
stay permanently, pred!cating that de-
termination upon British oppression at
home. Most of them are not physically
sturdy enough to meet with favor as
construction laborers or section hands on
railroads, so the only thing left to them
is to become farm laborers. Here their
work is limited almost wholly to hoeing
and wedding. In most of the communi-
ties. because Of their dirty appearance
and their turbans they find il difficult to
get work. They usually go from place TO
place III small gangs. with ono of their
number as leader business manager and
interpreter. Many of them find great
difficulty to secure work during the winter
months. The commission calls their COM
pet1tive position the most insecure of any
race, and says that when other labor Is
available the Hndus find little favor with
employers.

that there are fewer Chinese in the cities
of the west than formerly. The coming
of the Chinese began about the time OF

much ineffective state and local legisla-
ton. and finally appealed to the govern
ment to stop the immigration Of Chinese

Thousand a Year
Enter United States.

Hindus wearing the turban The hrst
important immigration of East Indian
laborers into the United States came
from British Columbia, where, as re-
suit Of the activity of steamship agents
and the spread of Canadian literature in
India, there arrived over 5000 of them
in four years. AS soon as Canada de-
cided that these immigrants were unde-
sirable they were denied admission un-
less coming direct from their native land
upon through tickets. The amount OF
money required to be shown was also
advanced from SO to $500. Since there
are no steamship lines direct to Canada
from India. the intent of Canada to eX-
clude the East Indian is plain.
The Hindu labOrers who already had
come to Canada soon found tina. the
winters of that country were too rigorous
for them. and Furthermore, that the lum-
her mills and salmon industry in Wash
inpton and Oregon offered better wages
than they were getting in British Co
lumbia. OF course, when laborer could
get $16O a day for his work on this side
of the line, and only 50 cents to $1.2o
day on the other side, he was not long in
crossing the line.
But when Canada barred her boundaries
against them immigration from British
Columbia soon exhausted the supply, and
those who come now are directly from
India.

No Mcssnge to Carrnnxa.
Secretary of State Bryan said yester-
day that no communications had been
made to Gen. CaTranZa, constitutionalist
leader, to determine il he would suspend
hostilities against the Federals pending
a constitutional election, provided ar
gangements could be made for one by
John Lind, the Presidents personal rep
resentative. The Presidents policy for
Mexico, he said. does not contemplate
such communications.
This announcement was taken to mean
that the President intends to deal with
the Huerta government alone in his ef-
forts TO bring about peace. 1t had been
reported at the time of Mr. Lind's de-
parture for Mexico that he probably
would deliver suggestions to both con-
stitutionaIists and Federals in the hope
of bringing them to an agreement on a
mediation plan.
1t is believed as a result of Mr.. Bryan's
statement, however, that the success or
failure of Lind's mission will be decided
by what he accomplishes in Mexico City.
The President apparently does not in
tend to lay himself open to the charge
of meddling in Mexicos internal af-
fairs. Whatever is done will be with
the consent and cooperation Of the
nuerta government.
No acknowledgment was received at
the State Department from the British
foreign Office Of the apology which AM
bassador Page was directed to deliver

Second Call on Ga.iboa.
Administration officials professed to
be well satisfied with the progress Mr..
Lind is making In Mexico City. The
announcement that Mr.. Lind had made
a second visit to Minister of Foreign
Affairs Gamboa was noted with ap-
proval. as indicating that the repre-
sentative is steadily plugging away at
his efforts to procure a friendly con-
sideration OF the suggestions from the
United States which will be communi-
Gated to Huerta either by himself or
the American charge. Ne indications
were forthcoming as to when these sug-
gestions would be formally delivered.
however 1t is regarded here as alto
gether possible that Mr.. Lind may de-
liver the suggestions to Huerta without
his intention in advance
to the President or the State Depart
ment. The powers vested in him by the
President are believed to extend this
far.

The departure of Mr.. Moore from office
and the assumption of control by Mr..
