Washington State Congressman
Demands Drastic Legislation.
Foreigners Must Be Admitted to
U. S. Only on Probation.
FREE SPEECH FOR AMERICANS
But None Others Need Apply,
Says immigration Head.
Would DepOrt All Who Try to
Tear Down Government.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Urgins pas
sage of a bill to deport alien mem
bers of the I. w. W. and organizations
advocating overthrow of the govern
ment, Representative johnson, Repub-
lican, from Washington, chairman of
the house immigration committee, to-
day declared in the house that all
foreigners coming to the United States
in the future must come only on
probation"
His statement indicated that later
an effort would be made to pass leg
lslauon for. the probationary entry of
foreigners.
The citizens of the United States
are thru with being told by alien revo-
lutionists, communists and anarchists,
who are within our borders by cour-
tesy. and by our grace, how to run
our government" declared Mr.. John
SON. Free press in the United States
IS ours. not theirs; free speech is
ours, not theirs; and they have gone
just as far as we can let them go to-
ward running our most precious rights.
They have been guests in our house.
They have misbehaved most woefully-
They are welcome no longer and they
must go. And those who come from
foregn shores in the future must come
only on probation
For American Citizens, Too.
Explaining the bill. Mr.. johnson
said that it enlarges the deportation
clauses to include aliens who print,
circulate, edit, display or distribute
vicious literature. who are members
of organizations that issue revolution
airy publications. or those who finan-
cially aid such opaganda. He pre-
dicted that a bill penalizing America n
born persons who commit similar acts
will soon be presented to the public by
its judiciary committee.
In this connection Mr.. johnson dis
played to the house a variety of revo-
lutionary publications, including some
printed so as to appear as having been
blood soaked. He also exhibited a
number of letters, appealing for re-
lease OF 1. w. VS. and anarchists or

Give XMAS BONUS
CrOsby's and Beatrice Creamery
Distribute Checks to Workers.
Many Other Firms, However,
Discontinue Old Custom.

Distribution of Christmas bonuses
and gift from employers to employees
will probably not prove so general
in Topeka this year as it has in the
past. Unsettled business conditions,
rising costs of operation and cutting
down of profits received, are the main
reasons given for discontinuance OF
this long established custom among
business houses.
From a brief inventory taken this
morning of the plans of a few estab-
lishments employing a large number
of persons, 1t is evident that Crosby
Bros. will probably make the largest
distribution.
Friday afternoon bonus checks to-
taling more than $4,000 were dis
tributed among the employees of that
establishment.
The bonus was figured on a 10 per
cent basis of each persons salary.
Every employe who has been working
for the store during the last sixty days
is included. The extra help of the
Christmas season are the only persons
who will not receive bonus checks.
My brother and 1 furnish the
money and part of the brains." E. H.
Crosby stated this morning, but the
strength of any organization depends
on the brain power and service of the
employees L am SdllSIleO with our as
Sistants and believe they are entitled
to it. Our success depends upon
them" Mr.. Crosby laughingly pro-
duced q bonus check made out to him
self with the expression that evidently
the person who made out the checks
figured that the names of himself and
his brother were on the payroll the
same as the others
Penetier's stores had not yet de-
cided on what action they would take.
It was declared today. Neither had
the Seymour Packing company or the
Central mills.
The Beatrice Creamery company
has also already distributed bonus
to its Topeka employees based on per
cent of the yearly salary. The bonus
checks were given out Friday.
1t was announced at BeFkson Broth
ers today that the store would follow
its usual custom of giving a Christmas
check to each person in the employ
of that establishment
The Topeka Railway company will
make no distribution this year. Ac-
cording TO Albert Patten. the practice
was discontinued last year and cannot
be resumed this year on account of
, the financial conditions of the COM
pany not warranting it.

JACOBS DECLARES IN HIS OPINION DRESS
 GOODS WILL GO UP
Asserts That the Price of Silk Has Advanced $500 per Pound, And Says There IS
 Heavy Demand

Consumers should be prepared to pay considerably more for all kinds of goods manufactured from silk and woolen materials" said Sydney 5. Jacobs, wholesale representaVe who recently returned from trip through out the United States.
 Advice recently received from one of the largest manufacturers Of silk goods in the United States is as foi- lows: Price of raw silk advanced an additional s5 a pound This added to the cost of silk goods six weeks ago brings the price of raw silk to approximately $2475 a pound.
 "A significant incident occurred while I was in New York. Talking to the vice-president Of one ot the large wholesale silk manufacturers, requested him to give me samples of their line to show my trade Tn Alaska. First he brought out records indicating the selling price of a cer- tain piece of goods for spring delv- cry as $105 per yard less than Il was then being quoted for delivery this fall He then asked me to re- main for while as he expected a representative of foreign firm to call within 15 minutes. The en- gagement was kept and l witnessed cleanup sale of all fabrics that the firm (which is one Of the largest silk wholesale firms in the country) had. The sale amounted to over s9OO, 900, the foreign buyer paying for the goods in United States gold After the deal was closed and the buyer had departed, the head oi the firm presented me with partic ularly hard nut to crack. Can you give me any reason why we shoulc give you our samples when we can turn the goods over right here in our own establishment. get spot cash and eliminate selling commission and take absolutely no chances" he asked.
 This seems to be the trend O. argument offered by most manufac turers.
 While on my recent trip, l haf occasion to visit not only the whole sale houses and manufacturers, Dur the department stores in many or the large cities I found the price for wearing apparel in San Francisco Portland and, Seattle in many case higher than the prices asked in Ju neau for the same class of goods.
 Prices are going up and, in my opinion, it behooves the consumer to stock up, if possible, for the nexi six months because it will surely mean a saving and they should stocl LID in their own home town.
