late irreconcilables headed by Sem

The suggestion accredited to for

Geneva for conference on amend
ments to the league covenant is par
ticularly obnoxious to them. This is
shown conclusively in the following
article:
By the Hon. James "A. Reed, Unit
ed States senator from Missouri:
The American people by the most
decisive vote ever given by any great
nation have repudiated the league
of nations, lock stock and barrel.
Nobody but man who is blind, deaf
and Intellectually paralyzed can fail
to understand the result Of this elec-
tion. The people are in favor Of pre-
serving the ancient policies Of the
government. They are determined
that we shall keep free from the
crooked diplomacies and crooked
plottings of Europe and Asiatic mon
archs.
The politician as he proceeded with
his campaign said that the people
were not "reservists,' they were ...re-
pudiationists;' that they were not
internationalists. but nationalists,
and they wrote the word in capital
letters.

To stop
IMMIGRATION TWO
YEARS Be RUSHED
Plan to Rush Johnson
Bill Through House
Under Special
. Rules

WASHINGTON, Dec. Acting
under the belief that the country
is demanding a temporary cessation
of the flood of immigration, Repub-
lican leaders in the House planned
this morning to jam through late to-
day under special rule limiting de-
bate, the Johnson bill suspending all
immigration for a period of two
years.
Efforts to effect an organized fight
against the legislation were made to-
day by Representative Siegel, New
York and Representative SABBATH.
Each represents a district with a
large foreign population. They want
more drastic exclusion regulations to
keep out the undesirables but free
admission of all immigrants who are
likely to make good citizens.
The report of the house immigra-
tion committees supporting the John
son bill calls attention to the great
rush of European Jews into the coun-
try. 1t points to the fact that all
these immigrants are destined to the
large industrial centers now over
crowded and without adequate hous-
ing accommodations for their pres
ent residents. None Of the immigrants
Of the class now coming in are agri-
culturalists. The committee has been
informed that millions of Jews from
Poland and Germany are seeking
passports, from their governments to
come to the United States and that
all of them are without funds. Siegel
and SABBATH claim that the proposed
legislation is aimed at exclusion Of
the Jews.
Pacific coast members are disap-
pointed that the bill does not provide
specifically for exclusion Of Japanese
immigration. They will try to have
provision to this effect inserted In
the bill.

Reclamation Service
Asks for $2,335,0OO
Will be Granted
is Belief

WASHINGTON. Unusually heavy
appropriations for government re-
clamation work during the fiscal year
beginning July l next, were asked Of
congress Monday, due to the fact that
large lump sum, representing
revenues from oil leases, will be di-
verted to the reclamation field before
appropriations become available, and
the probabilities are these appropria-
tions will be authorized, inasmuch as
the money as segregated for a
specific purpose and can be used for
nothing else. a
The undertaking of new unit Of
the Minidoka project is contemplated
as evidenced by the fact that the
total appropriation asked is $685.
600 as against an appropriation of
$4,000 for the current year. Build
ing of the American Falls reservoir
is to be the first work undertaken if
this large appropriation Is made, for

United Mine Workers
To Assist Striking
Coal Miners of South

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. g.
Mine workers on strike in Alabama
and West Virginia were promised
the full moral and financial assis-
tance' OF the United Mine Workers
of America at meeting Of the In
ternational executive board. The
board met yesterday and its decis-
ion was announced tonight.
The international executive board
is impressed with the spirit OF self
sacrifice by the mine workers Of AL
ALBANIA said the statement. "The
42,00O men, women and children who
are engaged in this struggle are stif-
fering from the most intense presecu-
tion heaped, upon them by the AFRO
CANT coal operators of that state"
It is charged the militia is en-
ployed without justification, that the
miners are misrepresented by the
press and are being thrown from
their homes and starved by the mill
tia and civil authorities.
1T Is indeed questionable whether
the people of Armenia, whose suffer-
ings have shocked the world, are in
any worse circumstances than the
oppressed mine workers of Alabama"
says the statement.
A struggle of equal importance is
being waged in Mingo county, West
Virginia, according to the executive
board
"The miners of that territory were
locked out because of their desire
to organize and their request for
recognition of the principles Of col
lective bargaining" says the state
ment. "They have made a remark
able struggle against overwhelming
odds, despite the numerous crimes
inflicted by the army of hired gun
men employed by. the coal operators
Of that region. Many men have been
shot in cold blood by these modern
Hessians, while in multicity of in
stances, others have suffered from
brutal assaults
After pointing out the alleged
abuse Of the strikers, the board de-
clares for a fight to finish.
The International executive board
declares that these Industrial strug-
gles in ALBANIA and West Virginia
must be continued until the coal op-
orators recognize the representatives
Of their employees, says the statement.
The full moral and financial as
sistance Of the International Union
representing its membership Of one
half million mine workers, will be
placed behind the mine workers of
Alabama and West Virginia"

must be right"
Kisses and boots greeted the
speaker from one section Of the
