POSSIBLE CHANGE IN LAW.
Proposed to Enlarge Power of Inn
migration Authorities.

Secretary of Labor Wilson, on recon-
mendation of Commissioner General OF
immigration A. Caminetti. yesterday d.
rected the release of three Hindus-Sohan
Singh. Bashan Singh, and Sadhu Singh.
who recently arrived at San Francisco
from the Philippine Islands. The three
aliens were taken into custody by the
immigration officials at San Francisco
upon the ground that they were likely TO
become public charges, one of them also
being afflicted with hookworm-
II appears, however. that the men had
been admitted TO the Philippines under
bond in the sum Of $50 each. guarantee
ing that they would not become public
charges in the islands
1t is proposed to SO amend the regula-
tons as TO give the immigration authori-
ties at mainland ports authority to reject
aliens coming from the insular posses
sions unless it should appear that at the
time of entry thereto they were not men,
bers of the excluded class or likely to
become public charges.

PLATE PRINTERS
MAKE PROTEST
Meeting Of Union Held and
Plans Discussed to Prevent
Men Being Discharged.
BURROUGHS SUGGESTED
Scheme Worked Years Ago-Many
Labor Leaders Attend the
Gathering.
SUGGESTED

Vigorous protest against the announced
dismissal without prejudice" on June 90
of twenty-six plate printers employed at
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
was voiced last night by the Plate
Printers Local. No. 2, at two crowded
sessions at Pythian Temple. and indorse-
ment was given to the proposed plan of
retaining the full force and Of letting the
printers go OF In rotation on short fur
loughs for the purpose of compromising
for the existing slackness of work.
The sessions were the largest and most
enthusiastic held by the plate printers In
many a day. and the interest manifested
on all hands testified mutely to the seri-
BUSINESS with which the men were view
ing the situation. One session COM
menced at s o'clock in the evening, and
another meeting was held at midnight, SO
that the night force at the bureau might
attend More than 900 printers attended
the two sessions.
After stirring speeches had been deliv-
cred, the legislative and executive COM
mittees of the organization recommended
the disapproval of the announced reduc
ton in force and the Endorsement of the
furlough plan. The resolutions were
adopted unanimously, all of the printers
manifesting a willingness to share in the
sacrifice rather than have a few Of their
number bear the entire burden of being
thrown out OF employment All of the
printers indicated that they would be
willing to go of on furlough for the nee
essary period from time to time. 1t was
pointed out that the adoption of this plan
would cause the government neither trcu-
BILE nor expense and would serve the
same purpose as the dismissal OF the
twenty-siX men. 1t was stated in tho
addresses that a number Of years ago
the bureau was accustomed to furlough
the printers from time TO time when work
grew slack, and II was pointed out that
II the method worked satisfactorily then.
II could be adopted today without the
least difficulty.
A committee will be designated to ar
range for an interview with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for the purpose OF
presenting to him the furlough plan
and urging him to see that II is put into
effect, thus saving the positions OF the
twenty-six men who are now in immi-
nent danger OF losing their positions.
The principal addresses last night were
delivered by John Fl. Ferguson, president
OF the Maryland State and District OF
Columbia Federation OF Labor; and E.
l. Adams, of Columbia Lodge of Ma
chlnists, No. 1o1. Others who spoke were
s. Edward Beach, chairman of the eX-
ecutive committee Of the printers local;

lative committee: P. J. Ryan, member
OF the legislative committee; Charles T.
Smith, editor of Plate Printer" the Of

Democrats ReOrganize

The democrats of Blount county
met IN mass convention at the court
house last Saturday to reorganize
the executive committee Of the
county for the next two years.
The convention was largely at
tended and harmous throughout.
Strong resolutions were passed con.
demning fusionism and the abscon-
dance of the fusionists from the
state during the session of the Legis-
lature. A resolution unanimously
endorsing Mayor S. g. Heiskell Of
Knoxville rs the democratic nomi-
nee OF the party for Governor at
the next gubernatorial election was
adopted. John Rorex was elected
chairman and F. w. Hannum Sec
rotary of the executive committee
for the next two years. The con-
vention put itself on record as fav-
orlng the nomination of a candidate
for governor by convention instead
OF by primary election as being less
expensive and more satl fac DRY to
all concerned.
