Hoover Puts Some 6Iams on Workers
for Conditions Now Facing Labor
and Employes-Admite Labor
Had Not all "Played Fair"

Washington-There was evidence
that Herbert Hoover. who was called
into conference here by the executive
council Of the American Federation Of
Labor ~ u. 10, place ali plame tor cor
ditions now confronting labor on en-
ployers. ~:;*
, Much data has been gathered by
the Federation with respect to eco
nomic conditions throughout the coun-
try. It is known that during the con.
ference some members Of the council,
while holding employers largely re-
sponsible for present condition, ad-
mitted that individual; and even
groups Of workers had not played
fair in some instances.
= Mr.. Hoover was understood to have
told the conference. that labor must
do its share in the elimination Of in.
dustrial faults and ills which make for
unemployment. 49,:
Council Members Interested.
Council members said they had been
deeply interested in Mr.. Hoover's dis
cussion Of existing conditions because
OF its bearing on the federation's
search for methods which will avoid
intermittent operation Of industry and
consequent unemployment. 1t is pn'
derstood Mr.. Hoover was told that Ia
Dor leaders regarded the action OF
some employers in closing plants or
operating on part time as ''little-shert
of a social crime"
With this view, however, the former
food administrator was said not to
have agreed. He pointed 70 credit con
ditions, the slackening Of: foreign az
well as domestic demand and certain
other, related causes, lit was under
stood. !.
AS to the future outlook, MIR. Hoover
made no forecast. He4 did. say, how
ever, that he believed the existing eco
nomic depression was one Of TEN
.porary nature and it, constituted part
.of the period of transition from wal
to peace conditions. . =.
Needs Change Of Policy.
Among labor leaders there was q
suggestion that the changing condi
lions of which Mr.. Hoover spoke would
necessitate changed policies on the
part of organized workers and par
ticularly of the federation. They indi
Gated that they were attempting tt
arrive at new conclusions and reshap<
their policies through the study Of
economic, and industrial conditions

ployers. - -

PRESIDENT w1s{N,ss THANKS
GIVING DAY*PRoC1AadAT1oN
i & 6 White House,

- " November ,12.
The season approaches when it be-
hooves us to turn from the distractions
and preconceptions of our daily life,
that we may contemplate the mercies
which have been vouchsafed to us, and
render heartfelt and unfegined thanks
unto God for His manifold goodness.
This is an old observance of the
American people, deeply imbedded in
our thoughts and habit. The burdens
and the stresses of life have their own
insistence.
We have abundant cause for Thanks.
giving. The lessons of the war are rap
idly healing. The great army of free
men, which America sent to the defense
of liberty, returning to the grateful en-
brace of the nation, has resumed the
useful pursuits of peace, as simply and
as promptly as it rushed to arms in
obedience to the country's call. The
equal Justice of our laws has received
steady vindication in the support of a
law-abiding people against various and
sinister attacks, which have reflected
only the baser agitations of war, now
happily passing.
In plenty, security and peace, our
virtuous and self-reliant people face the
future, it's duties and its opportunities.
May we have the vision to discern our
duties, the strength, both of hand and
resolve, to discharge them, and the
soundness of heart to ]eahze that the
truest opportunities are those of SER
vice.
In a spirit, theu3. Of devotion and
stewardship we should give thanks in
our hearts, and dedicate ourselves to the
service Of Gods merciful and loving
purposes to his children.
Wherefore, I, Woodrow. Wilson, Pres
ident of the United States of America,
do hereby. Designate: Thursday, the
twenty fifth day Of November, as a day
of Thanksgiving and prayer, and I call
upon my countrymen to cease from the
ordinary tasks and avocations upon that
day, giving it up to the remembrance
Of God and His*b1essings, and their duti'
full and grateful acknowledgment:
:. WOODROW WILSON. -

man.
Under its provisions the admission
Of foreigners will be restricted to the
parents and children of alien-born citi-

beyond this zone Of blood relationship
will be forbidden to- enter.
Five members of the committee,
Chairman johnson, Isaac Siegel Of

Wety, Ohio, left for New York for the
purpose Of making close study Of
conditions at Detroit, where it is re-
ported the large influx Of immigrants
has resulted in great increase among
the unemployed.
Rigorous Restrictions.
It is the purpose Of the committee,
Chairman johnson said. to make immi-
grafton restrictions as rigorous as pos
sible.
1.-THE committee has before it great
mass Of testimony taken in California,
Washington and other states during
the summer" said Mr.. Johnson. I'VE
are studying it in the preparation of
the bill. Not only do we intend to
raise the bars against immigration,
but we will impose new restrictions
on the naturalization of aliens so that
they may have a higher appreciation
Of citizenship. The oath of citizen
ship will be made more rigorous and
there will be changes also in the form
of the declaration of intention.
"The purpose is to protect American
labor against the underpaid illiterate
labor of Europe and to protect our citt
zenship against the undesirable classes
seeking admission. It is one Of the
most important problems with which
the Congress has to DEAL"
Series Of Amendments.
Chairman Johnson hopes to place
the new immigration bill on the calen-
dar early In the short session so that
it may be taken up as soon as the
extra session meets. At the coming
session he will press a measure con-
tanning series of amendments to the
naturalization law, already on the ca
endar.
Among the provisions in this bill is
one which gives an American woman
who mar11es an alien the right to re-
tain her American citizenship SO long
as she remains in the United States.
AccordinEt Chairman Johnson. the
subject of j panese immigration will
not be covered In special measure.
but will be provided for in the general
immigration bill. The committee has
made an exhaustive study OF the Cali.
fornia: land situation. Regardless Of
the "gentlenen's' agreement" or any
other diplomatic convention, the bill
will keep: out all classes Of japanese
labor and will sustain CALIFORNIA; con.
