Secretary Wilson Urges
Legislation To Garry
Out Plans

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Estab-
lishment OF machinery overseas in
cooperation with foreign govern
ments through which aliens before
breaking up their homes may deter
mine whether they will be admitted
to the United States and Legislative
consideration Of the proposals OF
the Second Industrial Conference
are outstanding recommendations
n the annual report of Secretary
Wilson made public today.
The Labor Secretary devotes
much OF his report to discussion OF
immigration and the expulsion OF
allen revolutionaries. He asserts
that he alono has authority to or
der the arrest and expulsion OF
aliens although the Bureau Of Inn
migration has assumed to itsell
power not only to make recommen-
dations, but also to make findings.
The. report shows that 633,371
aliens arrived in this country dur
ing the last fiscal year as compared
with 237, O21 the year before. OF
the total arrivals 11.795 were ex-
cluded at the ports where they
sought to enter. OF those arriving
100000 are classed as immigrant
aliens and 1855 as non immi-
grant aliens. Departures OF aliens
totalled 42S,062, including 2SS,316
emigrant aliens and 1874 nom

increase in the immigrant popula-
ton for the year 1854.

Of them we're cancelled, Because
the charges upon which they had
been issued were not sustained by
lawful proof at the hearing" In
addition 10 the 314 anarchists de-
ported SOL others are awaiting de
portation, according to the report.
Mr.. Wilson says that during tho
year $4,000 aliens took the initial
or final steps toward citizenship.
While this is less than the RECORD
total OF the year before, MI. VIII
son says the decrease Is confined
to aliens In military service and re-
suits from the rehabilitation OF
the army. First papers were filed
by 300,106 aliens while petitions
for final naturalization were filed
by 1868 2 aliens in civil life and
51,972 soldiers.
Turning to the industrial situa-
tion, Mr.. Wilson urges legislative
action to carry out the recommen.
dations Of the Second Industrial
Conference proposing joint organi-
cations Of management and en-
ployes for prevention OF industrial
disputes and a comprehensive plan
for adjusting such disputes when
they occur. Attention is called
that during the year the Labor de-
partmeuts division OF Cancellation
was called upon to utilize its good
offices in nor than 400 indus

more than 3,125.0O0 workers and
indirectly involving more than

"The Department" says Mr.. Will
son, Stands for collective bargain

be regarded in the same category
