Influence Prevented
Effective Work.

What Jacob MargolIs. counsel for
the l. w. w. described as the tam
ing influence of the American Feder-
alton OF Labor has prevented Will
liam L. Foster. one of the leaders
of the steel strike. from doing efreo-
tive work. Margolis voiced this opin-
ion yesterday in testimony given to
the subcommittee OF the Senats
which is investigating the strike.
In his opinion. Foster is too con.
servative and reactionary. He said
that Foster was once radical enough,
and still believes he can bring about
a reconstruction Of society by bor-
ing from within" He expressed the
belief. however. that Foster would
not be able to proceed very far be-
cause OF the opposition OF the con-
servative elements of union labor.
Margolis said: "of the 20 strikes
called recently. g. have not been au-

Appropriations for Bor-

Large numbers of undesirables from
other countries are circumventing the
immigration barriers set up against
their entry into the United States
at the regular ports by sneaking
across the Mexican border.
In acauainting the House Immigr a.
tion Committee with this situation
yesterday, Anthony Caminetti, COM
missioner general Of immigration.
placed the blame upon Congress for
failing to make adequate appropria-
tions to continue the immigration
patrols along the border. This work
was kept up during the war, he said,
by allotments from the Presidents
national defense fund. but since this
fund expired on June 30 the patrols
have been largely reduced.
From 5000 to 5000 of these danger
Gus aliens are slipping across the bor-

Some of them are suffering from
loatheful diseases.
The Mexican avenue Of entry into
the United States has become SO
popular, Mr.. Caminetti told the COM
mittee. that undesirables already
here are sending word back to their
friends to follow the same course.
