WASHINGTON, May 31.-Establisb-

recommended before the Senate Labor
Committee to-day by Governor Allen
OF that state.
II would recommend legislation that
would take into consideration the fact
That the peace and welfare OF the

Allen.
Il would urge the creation of q
court having all the powers of any
tribunal below the Supreme Court.
whose appeals should be to that tri-
bunal, the judges to be appointed by
the President"
The Governor said, however, that
this court should have jurisdiction
relating only to interstate commerce
and not interfere with the right of
states to adopt measures dealing with
lntrastate commerce..
Statements recently made before the
committee by Herbert Hoover that the
Kansas act was virtually a duplication
OF the Australian law were denied bv

CHICAGO, May 31.--Some limita

~ strict to interfere with "advan-
.tages capital naturally sees in large
foreign labor supply" was recommend
ed to-day for inclusion in the Repub-
lican party platform by the sub-com
mittee on immigration of the Republi
can advisory committee.
The committee declared that both
the interests of capital and the de-
mands Of labor for relief from the
competition of cheap foreign labor
should be considered in the policy
adopted.
Limitation of new arrivals in this
country to given percentage of the
naturalized citizens of their race now
IN the country was suggested as,
means of restricting immigration.
Stricter requirements as to mentality
and past records of immigrants also
were suggested.

Contests Decided
For ? Delegations
Arkansas and alabama
Issues adjusted: Work
Goes On Until Friday

CHICAGO, May Sin open session
to-day, the Republican National Com
mlttee began deciding contests from
various state delegations to the con-
'entlon; but made only slow progress.
IN what Chairman Hays character
ized as judicial rather than political
declsions,' the committee seated regu-
larly reported delegates from Arkansas
and Alabama, postponed the contest
over the District Of Columbia until to-
morrow and after giving an extended
nearing TO three-cornered contest
from Florida, adjourned overnight
without making decision.
AT to-day's rate Of progress Chair
man Hays estimated that the contests
would not be cleared up before Friday.
io-day's decisions will not be factors
in the strength of any candidate in the
convention, and ranged principally
ABOUT the questions Of regularity. al
though the race issue frequently was
injected.
III all decisions to-day the commit
zee was guided on questions of law
and precedent by Charles B. Warren.
o. Detroit, national committeeman
rom Michigan, who was acting at the
request OF Chairman Hays as the com
ml''ee attorney AT the conclusion of
each contest Mr.. Warren issued a

tne committee was acting. Chairman

Only seven Of the 1877 contests were

CONTESTS Without "Old Guard"
one of the features of the Opening

IN Secretary Hemingway, of Indiana,
another picturesque figure in the "old
guard which ran the Republican party
lor 50 many years. was represented by
Joe Keeling. as proxy. Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, was not represented at
all not even taking the trouble TO send
proxy.
All of which caused considerable
talk to the effect that the "od guard
mas passed, and that there is a new
deal IN politics with no group of lead
ers IN control. With the single ex-
ception Of Senator Penrose it is gen
orally admitted that the so-called ''old
guard has been shorn of its power.
and Mr. Penrose is so i'll that his
brother. Dr. Penrose, according to in
formation reaching here, is not willing
to permit the Senator to come to Chi
cago. although the big fellows heart
Is set orr coming.
Delegate Hearings Open
The most important feature about the
contests. which opened to-day. was the
fact that they were open. When the
time came for "executive session" to
consider the merits of the case the
representatives of the press remained
and heard the discussions of the com
mlttee. This is the first time any party
ever permitted this
