Repost6 from Chicago today regard
ing the shut d6Rn of construction
work IN the Windy City, received by
Hattiesburs lumber manufacturers
and dealers, were of discouraging
nature. What effect the big strike
and accompanying lockout by the EN-
ployers viii have upon the market, the
lumbermen will not predict. 1t is
feared, however, that the effect will
not be Of the best.
Large quantities. of lumber for the
railway and building industries, as
well as for other kinds of construction
work, are obtained from the South
Mississippi mills. But the local manu-
facturers were aware that the i'm
pending differences Between the car
penters and the employers, sooner or
later would result in cessation OF
building activities. So they were pre-
pared for the emergency.

MORE CASH ASKED BY
DEPARTMENT Of LABOR
Secretary Wilson Estimates 81, 271,'
27O Is Needed to Garry on Work
of His Bureaus.

An increase of more than 100000
over last years appropriation is to be
asked for the Department of Labor for
1917 by Secretary Wilson of the next
Congress, according to preliminary an
nouncement of the estimates made pub
lie at the department today. The total
appropriation TO be asked for is S4,211,-
270, as compared with s3,5S2,960 for
1916
The increases are asked mainly to
carry on the work of Cancellation, nat
uralization, printing and binding and
immigration. A $4,000 increase over
last year is asked for the Cancellation
. work, making a total of $4,000 desired.
The department officials feel that the
success which the department has at
tanned in this line of endeavor merits
the increased appropriation desired
Many Labor Disputes Settled.
1t is pointed out that during the last
fiscal year thirty-seven labor disputes
were handled, of which number thirty
three were brought to a successful con-
clusion.
An increase of 10000 is asked for the
bureau of naturalization to carry on
the educational propaganda for i'm
proving the moral and mental fiber Of
applicants for citizenship.
A $4,000 increase will be asked Tor
because of the increased printing for the
depa rtment, necessitated by the nation
al system of employment exchanges
requiring thousands of blank forms.
Increase for immigration.
The expansion of the work of the
chidren's bureau also calls for increas-
ed printing appropriations. it is pointed
out.
The immigration bureau asks for an
increase of 100000, an increase over
last year more in seeming than actual
ity. because of the reduction in appro-,
priation which this bureau suffered
last year on account of the war. 1t IS
declared that the 100000 increase is
therefore, but the money which the ou-
reau has owing It.
For the year 1914 the Department OF
Labor had revenues of more than
81 DOC. 900 in excess of it's expenditures
and would have had like success last
year had it not been for the abnormal
conditions caused by the European war.

POLICY REGARDING ALIENS.
Ruling Applied to immigration Of.
ficials by U. S. Supreme Court,

immigration officials were today
shorn by the United States Supreme
Court of the power of excluding aliens
because in their opinion commercial
depression at the place Of destination
might cause the aliens to become pub
lie charges. Some Russian immigrants
destined to Portland. Ore. were or
dered released from custody in which
they were held for deportation. The
decision reverses a policy of the i'm
migration service.
The immigration law deals with ad-
mission to the United States and not to
Portland" said Justice Holmes. 1T
would be an amazing argument for i'm
migration officials to refuse admission
to the United States because the labor
market in the United States was over
burdened, and yet that would be more
reasonable than refusal to admit be-
cause of reported conditions in one
city
