PRESIDENT WILSON VETOES
THE IMMIGRATION BILL
In Message to Congress Executive Elk
presses Regret for Having t. Re-
turn Measure Unsigned.

Washington Jan. 29.-President Will
son vetoed the immigration bill in the
following message to congress:
In two particulars of vital conse-
quence this bill embodies radical de-
parture from the traditional and long
established policy of this country, a
policy in which our people have con-
ceived the very character of their gov
eminent to be expressed, the very mis-
sion and spirit of the nation in respect
of its relations to the peoples of the
world outside their borders. 1t seeks
asylums which always have been open
to those who could find nowhere else
the right and opportunity of constitu-
tiOnal agitation for what they con-
ceived to be the natural and inaliena-
BILE rights of man; and it excludes
those to whom the opportunity of Gle
mentary education has been denied.
without regard to their character, their
purposes, or their natural capacity.
Restrictions like these, adopted
earlier in our history as nation.
would have very materially altered the
course and cooled the humane ardors
OF our politics.
1.-The literacy test and the tests and
restrictions which accompany 1t con-
stitute an even more radical change in
the policy of the nation. Hitherto we
have generously kept our doors open
to all who are not untitled by reason
of disease or incapacity for self-sup-
port or such personal records and ante
cedents as were likely to make them a
menace to our peace and order or to
the wholesome and offensive relation
ships of life In this bill it is proposed
to turn away from tests of character
and of quality and impose tests which
exclude and restrict; for the new tests
here embodied are not tests of quality
or of character or of personal fitness.
but tests Of opportunity.
IF the people of this country have
made up their minds to limit the num-
Der of immigrants by arbitrary tests
and so reverse the policy of all the
generations of Americans that have
gone before them, it is their right to
do so. | am their servant and have
no license to stand in their way. But
| do not believe that they have.
Il have no pride of opinion In this
question. i am not foolish enough to
profess to know the wishes and ideals
of America better than the body of her
chosen representatives know them. [
only want instructions direct from
those whose fortunes, with ours and
all mems, are involved.

SON IGNORES ToILERS EVEN
WHILE THEY STARVE.
RAKES THE FOUNDATION, TOO
Official of United Mine Workers Says
Institution Seeks to Substitute
Philanthropy for Justice-TelIs of
Suffering Among Workers.

New York, Jan 3O.-Coming almost
straight from the Office of John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., where he had a
friendly chat" with him over condi-
tons in the mines of Colorado, John
X. Lawson, member of the executive
hoard of the United Mine Workers fc'
the district including Colorado. read
before the federal commission on in
dustrial relations a scathing indict-
ment of Mr.. Rockefeller and the atti-
tude he had displayed before the com
mission.
The policies and purposes of the
$1OO,000,000 Rockefeller foundation
and the recent utterances of young Mr..
Rockefeller on the witness stand were
assailed by Mr.. Lawson.
Money withheld" From ToiIer.
In assailing the Rockefeller founda-
ton he asserted that one of the causes
of industrial discomfort was that very
philanthropy and the feeling that the
millions spread over the world in
snowy generosity" were derived from
the money withheld from the wages
of the American working class"
Mr.. Lawson criticized yourg Rookie
Teller for his lack of knowledge of con-
ditions among employees of the Colo
RADIO Fuel company, and said he was
equally as ignorant and Indifferent
as his trusted executives"
Your body can we'll afford to let the
testimony of John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
bring your investigation to an end"
Mr.. Lawson told the commission
Out of his mouth came a reason
for every discomfort that agitates the
laboring class in the United States
today. and if remedies are provided
for the injustices that he disclosed a
long step will be taken away from in
dustrial disturbance"
Mr.. Lawson told of the shooting of
striking miners in Colorado, the shat
tering of miners homes. how hundreds
were dumped in 1903 into the desert
without food or water" while others
were driven over the snow of the
mountain ranges.
Philanthropy "for Birds"
The philanthropy of the Rockefellers
Mr.. Lawson referred to as follows:
Health for China, a refuge for birds,
food for Belgians, pensions for New
York widows. university training for
the elect-and never a thought or a
dollar for thousands of men, women
and children who starved in Colorado;
for the widows robbed of husbands,
children of their fathers.
There are thousands of Mr.. Rookie
feller's employees in Colorado who
wish to God they were in Belgium to
be fed. or bird to be tenderly cared
for"
Mr.. Lawsons statement was a re-
hearsal of the testimony of young Mr..
Rockefeller and a vigorous arraign-
ment of him for not having investi-
gated the Colorado situation in detail.
