West Coast Fears Flood
of Asiatic Labor Soon

V. S. McCIatchy has prepared an
analysis of the Dillingham; Bill sub
stitute for the GuIick Bill, advocated
before the House Committee on Immi-
grafton but not yet formerly intro
duced, which proposes to flood the Un-
tied States with Asiatics, and particu-
larly Japanese. In his analysis, Nc
CATCHY points out the substitute bill
was undoubtedly inspired by the same

influences which are behind Gulck,"
and shows how the measure ic even
more dangerous than the one fathered
by Gulick.
The Analysis
The analysis follows:
Copies have been received in Sac
ramento of S. 2788, to limit the i'm
migration of aliens into the United
States" introduced in the United States
Senate on August 18th by Senator Dill
ingham of Vermont.
The bill follows in its general fea-
lures the Gulick Bill advocated before
the House Committee on immigration.
but not yet formerly introduced.
1t does not make Asiatics eligible
for American citizenship, but in other
respects, and particularly as regards
Asiatic immigration, it is much more
dangerous measure. Under it, there
would be admitted in the regular alot-
ments more Japanese. and a great
many more other Aslatlcs, than would
be allotted under the GuIick Bill;
and it includes number of loopholes,
in the way of exceptions, which APP
peared in the original Gulick Bill, but
which Gulick withdrew under criticism
few months ago. Through these
loopholes countless thousands Of Asiat-
les could come in. The bill was un-
doubtedly inspired by the same infIu-
ences which are behind GuIick.
No Restrictions Placed.
The bill places no restrictions on i'm
migration from the Western hemis-
phere, but as to the Eastern hemis-
phere limits the number of immigrants
Of any nationality who may be adj
mitted to the United States in any one
year to 5 per cent of the number of

Vernon Parish Lumber
Co. Moves Six Boilers

Six boilers, weighing about I tons
each. are being moved by the Vernon
Parish Lumber Company to Kurth-
wood. the holdings Of the company.
Three Of the boilers are at LeesviIIe,
the other three at Stables. The first
intention was to move the boilers on
lumber trucks, but the excessive weight
made this impracticabIe. This was not
discovered until number Of bridges
had been repaired at considerable ex-
pense. 1t was finally decided to load
them on flat cars and ship by rail. A
weeks work was required to load the
boilers and other equipment.
In shipping to Kurthwood, a dis
tance Of about l6 miles from LeesvilIe,
the boilers have to go l25 miles over
four railroads IN order to reach their
destination.
The Vernon Parish Lumber Com
pany has about II years work ahead
and have installed large plant which
is about ready to begin operations.

that nationality resident in the United
States at the time of the census next
preceding.
The Gulick Bill bases its " aIlot-.
ment'' not on "residents" but on cit
izens' of the United States by birth
(according to the 1920 census) and
bp naturalization (up to the time Of
allotment).
The Dillingham; Bill, with a five per
cent basis, would sanction the imme-
diate introduction Of 1880 Japanese
per year, and this number would rapid
ly increase in proportion to the popu-
lation. Under the Gulick Bill and
10 per cent basis, the allotment would
not reach 1880 for five years. and
after that time its increase would not
keep pace with the increase in popula-
ton. because it would not get credit
for new births, after 1920.
Provides Larger immigration
So far as concerns Asiatics other
than Japanese, the Dillingham; Bill
would admit many more than the Gu
lick Bill, since its basis is resident"
instead Of citizens" and Of other Asia
tics there are. a number of residents
and practically no citizens.
Entirely aside from the allotment.
however, the bill proposes to admit
without question "aliens coming to join
a husband, wife. father, mother. son
daughter, grandfather. grandmother,
grandson, or granddaughter. This
provision appeared in the original
draft of the Gulick Bill two or three
years ago, but was changed afterwards.
Under it the Japanese now here could
send for their respective grandfathers,
who inturn could bring in all their de-
scendants. Under such provision, It
would not take long to give the Japan
ese possession of our country.
Big List Would Be Admitted.
The bill also provides that unlimited
numbers of governmental -officers.,min-
listers. or religious teachers, LAWYERS.
physicians, chemists, civil engineers,
teachers, students, authors, journalists,
merchants, bankers, capitalists, profess
sional artists. lecturers,singers, or act
ors may come in without restriction Of
anv kind.
The one item Of students" IN the
above catagory would permit the adj
mission of thousands Of Iaborers who,
after week in the schools, could take
their places in the shop and field.
That student provision, too. was in
the Gulick Bill and was withdrawn af-
ter my criticism thereof.
All laws excluding Asiatics will be
repealed under the proposed measure.
It is evident therefore that the bill
is framed for the express purpose of
flooding the country with Asiatics, and
particularly with Japanese.
1t has been referred to the Commit
tee Of immigration Of the Senate, to
which body Chambers Of Commerce
and civic organizations who wish to
protest the adoption of such measure
should address their petitions.
