ENGLAND CANNOT KICK
ON LABOR EXCLUSION

UNITED PkHhS LEASED WHEEL
Washington, Jan. 26.--Labor depart
ment officials disputed today the con
tention that passage of Congressman
Raker's Asiatic labor exclusion bill
would be an affront to England be-
cause it discriminates, among others,
against the citizens of an English de-
pendency-India.
Indeed, it was pointed out, that some
Of England's colonies have laws more
rigidly excluding Hindus than would
the Raker bill. Attention was called
to the fact that the Anglo-American
treaty of 1916, settling all immigration
differences, carries no favored nation
clause, and, even If it did, the officials
asserted, England could not demand
greater consideration of its Hindu sub.
iects from America than its own colo.
nies accord.
"Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa have passed stringent
laws restricting the immigration Of
their fellow British subjects, the Hin
dus," said Immigration Commissioner
General Caminetti, endorsing this labor
department view, "and we have inves
tigated and found no instance where
the mother country has protested.
Offence we feel safe in saying that
England will not object to any actor
the United States may take to restrict
Hindu immigration"

made so IN they died. The cold wave
In various ways took toll Of sixteen
lives.
Perhaps tho most popular place In
town during the forty.oight hours of ex
ceptional cold was the Municipal Lodg
ing House on the East River. There
upwards Of 1000 persons were cared
for nightly. Among them were 30 wo
men, all with babies aud small children
Those 1000 men and those mothers
and their little ones had no homo al
