ALIEN LABOR Law
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Says Arizona Statute
Against Foreign Workmen Cheats
Them of Livelihood.

The Supreme Court handed down an
opinion yesterday that will put a curb
on the efforts of labor organizations
to prevent the employment of aliens
in the United States. by State statutes.
The test case came to the Court from
Arizona. 1t involved the constitution
ality of what is popularity known as
the so per cent law" This act pro-
vides that amy company. corporation.
partnership, association or individual
who Is or may hereafter become an en-
ployer of more than five workers at
any one time in the State Of Arizona,
regardless of kind or class of work,
or sex of workers, shall employ not
less than so per cent qualified electors
or native-born citizens of the United
States or some subdivision thereof"
Justice Hughes in his opinion said
1T is sought to Justify this act as an
exercise of the power of the State to
make reasonable classification in leg
islating to promote the health. safety.
morals and welfare of those within its
Jurisdiction. But this admitted author
ity, with the broad range of legisla-
tive discretion that IL implies, does not
go so far as to make 1t possible for
the State to deny the lawful inhabi-
tants. because of their race or nation
ality. the ordinary means of any live
llhOod- IL requires no argument 10
show that the right to work for a liv-
ing in the common occupations of the
community is of the very essence Of
the personal freedom and opportunity
that it was the purpose OF the amend
ment to secure.
The authority to control immigra-
tion-to admit or exclude aliens is
vested solely in the Federal govern
ment The assertion of an authority
to deny to aliens the opportunity of
earning a livelihood when lawfully ad-
mitted to the States would be tanta-
mount to the assertion of the right to
deny them entrance and abode, for in
ordinary time they cannot live where
they cannot work And, il such a pol
icy were permissible the practical re-
suit would be that those lawfully ad-
mitted would be segregated in such of
the States as those to offer hospitality"

Work Under a New Member
of the Cabinet.

The movement for a new Cabinet Office
TO be known rs the Department of Pub
lie Health will be revived in the next
Congress by Senator owen. who hereto
fore ehampioned the bill. The proposal
was the subject of long and controversial
HEARINGS in previous Congresses before
the Committee on National Health and
Quarantine. The medical societies
strongly favor it, but the Christian
Scientists, faith heaters. and even the
Osteopaths have been in an attitude of
protest against the proposed legislation
denominating it as being fathered for
selfish reasons by the medical trust"
Senator Owen said:
The political parties have declared for
this legislation in their platforms. Con-
serystion of health is the central ides
of the bill. 1t would have been passed
heretofore but for the press of Smore i'm
portant measures"
Senator Owen has asked the President
to consider the plan with a view of REG
ommending it to the next Congress in
his annual message. The plan of the
proposed Owen bill is to take the de-
partments of health now under the con-
ol-ef the Treasury, Interior and Agri-
culture and combine them into one gen.
eral department and have an additional
Cabinet officer to be known as the
Secretary of Public Health.

RESOLUTION AGAINST IT
Secretary McAdoo Asked to Prevent
U. S. Employees Helping the Plan.
Brewers Strike May Be Settled.

That skilled American plate printers
are being employed by private corpora
tons in Europe To aid in establishing
bureaus of engraving and printing tc
handle the large amount of work for
merly done by American firms was de-
nounced last night by the Central Labor
Union in adopting a resolution calling
upon Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
to take steps to prevent employees OF the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing from
assisting foreign corporations.
The resolution was passed at the re-
quest of the International Association OF
Steel and Copper Plate Printers through
its local branch. Although the charge
was not made that employees Of the gov
eminent bureau here have assisted the
foreign firms, the resolution was regard
ed by some as significant. 1t reads:
Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be requested to cause such
rules 10 be adopted and placed in
force for the regulation of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing as win ef-
fectuaIly forbid and prevent the on
ciaIs and employees of said Bureau
from giving their time, skill, knowl-
edge, experience or service upon any
basis whatever, domestic or foreign,
for the purpose OF assisting any such
government, individual, Arm, or cor
rying on of any printing or engrav-
ing business, or any business what
ever which is or may be directly OF
indirectly competitive with American
industry. or which may directly or in
directly deprive American labor of its
employment or means of livelihood"
Foreign Engraving Done Here.
1t was explained that in past years
all the engraving for Euro
pean countries was done in the United
States. The International Association
of Steel and Copper Plate Printers. IL
was said, has learned that foreign
are endeavoring to keep
these American contracts in their re-
spective countries, but in order to do
so have found it necessary to use
Americas skilled printers.
The union instructed Newton A.
James, its delegate to the coming con-
of the American Federation of
Labor at San Francisco, TO endeavor
to have the next convention of that
body held in Washington. The con-
yention opens November 8. Each dele
gate has the privilege of nominating
