HINDU INVASION
GREATLY FEARED
Secretary Wilson Would Close
the Doors to Them.
INFLUX BECOMES ALARMING
Injury To the Laborins Men On the
Pacific Coast and the Possible
Extension OF Their Activities
To the Southern States.

Misunderstanding Wilson, OF
the Department of Labor, suggested to
Congress that the doors of the United
States be closed hereafter to the Hindu
laborer. Injury to labor conditions on
the Pacific Coast of the United States
through an already unaccountable in
fiux of Hindus and possible extension
to the Southern States were the rea-
sons given by Mr.. Wilson for urging
their immediate exclusion.
The Secretary's views were ex-
pressed in a letter to Speaker Clark in
response to request from Chairman
Burnett, of the House Immigration
Committee, for information on pending
bills. While the Secretary did not dis
cuss with President Wilson the ques-
tions brought up in the letter, he
wrote, he said, after Commissioner
General Caminetti, of the immigration
Bureau, had consulted John Bassett
More and learned that no treaty
would be violated If the recommends
tons were carried out
The Secretary suggested that the
term "Asiatic laborer" be defined as
including all aliens east of certain
boundary line, except those-such as
Japanese or Chinese-whose immigra-
ton already is regulated by agree
ments or understanding between the
United States and the governments ID
the Far East.
Suggests Army Test.
To solve the problem of Asiatic inn
migration not covered by existing re-
strictions, Mr. Wilson proposed that .
physical test, such as is required for
recruits to the United States Army be
administered before any Asiatic labor
ers, as the term is to be defined, are
admitted. Physically defective aliens
from Persia, Turkistan, Afghanistan,
Siam and other Asiatic countries could
thereby be prevented from entering
into competition with American labor
without violating any treaties. Mr.. Wiz
son believes, as there would be mo-
discrimination against any particular
country. He suggested also that per-
haps all immigrants intending to do
manual labor might well be subjected
to physical test, but did not develop
this point in his letter other than III
reference to Asiatics.
Secretary Wilson says that con-
certed movement exists in India and
elsewhere to gain admission to the
United States; that Canada has Iegis-
lated even in more drastic manner
than is proposed in bills now pending
in Congress, and that If the Hindu
movement is not checked by legisla-
ton not only California and the West
will be affected, "as climatic and in
dustrial conditions, in the Southern
States and other sections of the Union
offer an extensive field for people
who can come in practically unlimited
numbers if, by failure to do as Canada
and other British colonies have done,
they are tacitly invited"

Her slumber does not seen so deep:

And she is lying on her bed,
Tired, tired, and fast asleep.
Alas! she smiles as if she dreams!
Can death indeed be such as this?
She lies SO prettily, it seems

And the night is very dark; and see!
There on her little bed lies she,
