FACTS ABOUT MEXICO
NOT GENERALLY KNOWN

When the American owners of La
Colorado Mining compony shut, down
their mine in the state Of Sonora the
Mexican state government took over
the mine and opened It, fixing min
imun wage. The government did this
so that the workers who have been so
suddenly thrown out Of work would
not have to starve. The state of
Sonora will keep a careful accounting
for the American owners, but the Mex
lean workers will not have to starve:
1t was the solidarity Of 5000 Mex
lean miners in Arizona not long ago
that won for. all the workers of that
state a new freedom in the mining in
dustry. Their loyalty to the American
workers was inspiring. There is no
row between the American and Mex
lean workers. The only row that
there can be is between the plunderers
and the workers or between rival
groups of plunderers.

REV. JOHN A. RYAN, FORMER MINNESOTA MAN. IMMIGRATION
BILL SAY OPPONENTS ARE BOTH SELFISH AND SENTIMENTAL

Rev. John A. Ryan, D. D., formerly
Of Minnesota, but now professor of
economics, Catholic university, this
city, has declared in favor of the Bur-
nett immigration bill. If this legis-
lation is adopted by Congress, he says,
I'VE shall have sufficient legislation to
improve the quality, provide for as
similation and protect the standard
Of life that is required for decent
living"
Rev. Ryan's statement, which in
cludes a history of immigration legis-
lation, has been published by the
Weekly Press Service Of the Social
Service Commission, American Fed
GRAFTON of Catholic Societies, and is,
in part as follows:
The lowered standard of living is
the main justification for restriction,
and it is probably the reason behind
the greater part of the agitation. Be-
tween two-thirds. and four-fifths Of
the adult males Of this country re-
ceive less than $3.50 a year, and real
wages have declined from 10 to Is
per cent since 1890. The great ma
jority Of the new immigrants 60 into
the unskilled industries, thereby over
stocking the market for that kind of
labor, and bringing down wages.

LONG WORKING DAY
BILL IS RULED OUT
Attempt to Keep Government
Employees on Job Eight Hours
Loses on Point of Order.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
attempt by Representative Borland,
Kansas City, Mo-, to increase the gov
eminent work day in the District of
Columbia from seven to eight hours
"a move which organized labor the
country over has been fighting-was
defeated on parliamentary point to-
day. -.
Borland sought to accomplish the
change by an amendment to the ap-
Precipitation bill carrying salaries for
government employees in the District
OF Columbia. The amendment was
ruled out Of order, on the ground that
it did not show on it's face that it
was intended to reduce expenditures.
Mr.. Borland Immediately reintro-
duced his amendment in a changed
form to meet, that objection. This
amendment was Immediately chal-
lenged. as being out of order, and the
point; will soon be argued.
Forty: thousand employees are af-
fected by the attempted change in
the working schedule. Organized
labor has helped them, fearing that
for the: government to increase it's
working day in the face of country
wide movement for a shorter work.
ing day for men and women in pri-
vate employment, would be a blow to
that movement. -.

ity better than by enabling a COM
paratively small proportion of the op-
pressed Of Europe to better their con-
dition very slightly.
The superficial DIRECTORS find fault
with the literacy test because it does
not guarantee character, something
that it was not meant to do. It is
primarily method of affecting 'quan-
tity. not quality. Others denounce it
as the outcome of bigotry, but this
factor is relatively urimportant in the
movement; besides, the device ought
to be judged on it's merits. -. It is re-
grettable that Catholics will not con-
slider more the economic argument
for restriction. Others object. that
the country needs to be developed.
If that means that a large group will
be worse off than before, the objec-
ton is baseless. All the: rough work
generally done by unskilled foreigners
would be done by Americans If they
were paid sufficient wages. The i'm
migration commission declared there
is constant oversupply of .unskilled
labor.
The selfish persons are those who
wish : to increase production and
profits through cheap labor, at less
than living wages. They would pre-
fer Chinese and Japanese laborers if
they could get them. They do not.
deserve serious consideration.

CONDITION |SukE:
TIMES OF NAPOLEON
Congressman Draws PARALLEL In
Strong Speech on Hay
Military Bill.

WASHINGTON-A parallel be-
tween conditions confronting this
country now and at the time of, the
Napoleonic wars was drawn in a state
ment on the Hay army bill, made by
Representative Edmund Plat, New
York, republican.
II don't understand how anybody
who will read the history of the last
five or six years of the war between
Napoleon and the rest of Europe
Mr.. Platt says, -"can fail to, be. i'm
pressed with the singular parallel be-
tween what happened then and what
Is happening new, so far as. neutral
rights and trade. are concerned.
"President Jefferson and President
Madison made every kind of effort, to
keep our country out of war. They
declined to take even a step toward
building up an army or navy for fear
rights. They wrote endless notes
and protests against the destruction
of American ships and American
lives, but in spite of all this our
country was drawn into the war, and
as Woodrow Wilson indicates in his
History of the American People, Vol.
III, page 212,' was drawn in wholly
M %npr Tz;7ae. and on the wrong side:
more to injure neutral trade than
England was. That very spring
(1812) a French feet put to sea COM
missioned to burn American mer-
chantmen wherever found ,
II do not say that we are going to
be drawn into the great European war
of today as. we were drawn into the
great war of a little more than a cen
tury ago, but no man in his senses
who knows his history and who, has
followed in the light of history the
events of the last year can doubt that
there is danger, very real danger, and
that lack of preparedness contributes
to the danger.

immigration, The supply of unskilled
labor should be reduced. The imrni-
grafton commission was unanimous
on this point.
Among methods of restriction sug-
gested are: The requirement Of a
contract enabling the immigrant to
command living wages; thu restric-
ton of the arrivals from any country
to a certain per cent of the average
emigration from that country during
the preceding period Of 10 years; the
division of the immigration countries
in groups, and the granting of the
privilege of sending immigrants to
only one group in one year; and the
literacy test. The first three are diff
cult of administration, while the last
was recommnded by eight Of the
nine members of the immigration
commission as the best single method
of restriction. It would exclude
about one-third.
The opposition to restriction is sem
timental, or superficial, or selfish. The
sentimentalists want America to be
kept a haven for the Oppressed, but
charity begins at home, and we want
to keep it genuine haven, instead
OF developing a. proletariat: and we
want to keep it an example of genu-
inc democracy and of a. better distri-
button of wealth than exists in
Europe. Thus we can serve human
