Washington, Oct. 11.-American In
dustry finds little sOlace in the occu-
patiOnal tables of the 1920 immigra-
ton. Skilled labor and tn profess
sional ranks were increased by the
migratory tide, but common, unskilled
labor, the scarcity of which has given
industry one of it's hardest pinches
and has helped send up the cost OF
living, was drained Of 100000 workers.
In the fiscal year ended last June
30, more craftsmen entered America
than departed. The same was true of
doctors, editors, ministers, engineers,
teachers, actors and other profess
siOnal occupations. But in front Of
unskilled labor, which is at the bot
tom of employment for all other
groups, was hung large minus sign.
This is how 1t ranks:

Shortage Of Common Labor.
A shortage of at least 100000 In
common labor, which is a basic fac
tor in industry, is estimated by care
full observers as the result of suspend
ed immigration alone during the war
years. On top of this the movement
of common labor for the last three
years has been outward. In 1913, a.
$50 were admitted and 81, 500 depart
ed. In 1919, 1921 came in and a.
ia went out Adding the figures for
the year finished June 80, 1862
alien labOrers arrived in three years
and 1922 went back. a loss to the
unskilled labor market of 178,OOO.
This is exclusive of farm labor,
which registered an increase due to
the importation of hands from Mexico
for employment in the border states.
In the present tide. which has been
swiring at Ellis island since May.
larger percentage of unskilled labor is
found among the arriving male aliens.
But as females constitute 40 per cent
of the incoming aliens and males form
rs per cent of the outgoing, it will re-
Ouire a long time to make up the COM
mon labor slack at the present rate.
Increase in Male Aliens,
The statiSticians of the inter-racial
council, after examining the figures
for nine recent weeks. estimate the
net increase of male aliens is now rum
ming at the rate of 1915 week. or
about $4,000 a year. Even if this fig
ure were doubled or trebled, it would
require years and years to replenish
the common labor supply to a point
where it will be fairly annie once the
industries begin hitting up a real pace
again.
Invention of labOr-saving devices
will undoubtedly tighten some of the
slack, but employment experts think
that despite an immigration which is

The report advises against accep-

It is believed by the chamber of
commerce that the United States is
in remarkable position for the de-
velopment of it's world trade, and it
thinks that the Hamburg-American
line-Harriman shipping arrangement
has placed Germany in a position to
obtain some share of the expanding

American countries is reported to be

policy of official control of foreign
trade is condemned by the chamber
as responsible for part of the slump

SAYS U. S. CANNOT DISARM
UNTIL ALL NATIONS DO
Senator Poindexter Sees Danger in
Hasty Action-Dewey Praised
at Memorial.

Declaring it impossible for America
became universal, Senator Miles Poin-
dexter of Washington delivered the
principal address at the Admiral
George Dewey memorial services, held
under the auspices of the Admiral
George Dewey Camp OF the United
States Spanish War Veterans. at the
Central High School last night.
Senator Poindexter said no country
desires friendly relations with all
other countries more than the United
States, but" he added, "it is folly for
the United States to assume that the
heart of the world will be changed by
a mere peace pact.
IF one country should disarm and
the others remain armed, the unarmed
country would Immediately become
subject to the will and coercion of the
armed countries. Universal limitation
of armament. or even total dlsarma-
ment is practical, but we must be on
the lookout so that some mistaken
policy does not slip through and put
the United States in the power or
some other country"
He pointed to the country's pre-
paredness when the Spanish American
war came. and said that if the coun-
try had been disarmed the history Of
this country would have been far diff
ferent from what it is today.
D. v. Chisholm, deputy United States
public printer and past national COM
mander-in-chi of the Spanish War
Veterans, eulogized the deeds of Ad-
miral Dewey and his victory over the
Spanish at Manila bay.
George G. Dewey of Chicago, son of
the late admiral, was present, and John
Ford, commander of the Dewey Camp.
