DIR. jerks Urges Curb
On immigration Now
Senators Told by Authority on
Subject That Selective Plan
Should Be Adopted

From, The Tribune'S Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-This is a
fitting times to change the general i'm
migration policy of the United. States
and to treat immigration from a
strictly economic standpoint, in the
opinion of DR.. J. w. jerks, former
member of the immigration Commits
sion, who was before the Senate Com
mittee on immigration to-day. DR..
jerks held that the United States
should take the initiative in determin-
ing what immigrants should enter the
country.
Referring to the 1910 Investigation
by the immigration Commission. Dr.
jerks said the commission at that time
found an oversupply of unskilled labor
IN this country. Many laborers were
coming here with no intention of maxi
ng this country their home, and they
adopted low standards of living in
order to save as mrch as possible. DR..
Jenks said. He added:
Heretofore we have been inclined
to look on this country as refuge
not only for those suffering from DO
litlcal oppression, but others who de-
sired to come, many of them having a
low standard of living. Is it not time
Tor us to adopt the policy that we
should take the initiative in bringing
IN those whom we need and want
here ?" ""-A'

Authors Block
Equity Plan to
Unionize Them
Dramatists' Guild, 20 to III,
Votes to Decline Actors
Invitation to Join in
Forcing Equity Shop
Emerson Attacks Action
Declares Committee That
Drafted Resolution Was
Packed to Beat A. E. A.

An effort to force a "closed shop"
for playwrights was blocked yester-
day by thirty-one members of the
Dramatists Guild of the Authors
League of America, membership of
which is said to be about $50. The
authors gathered at Cafe Boulevard
and by vote of 20 to II adopted a
resolution opposing the invitation of
the Actors Equity Association to Join
with the union playtrs in forcing an
Equity shop" The resolution was
drafted by committee named some
time ago to consider the actors in
vitation. AS a result of the meeting
authors will continue. for the present
at least, to work without union cards.
John Emerson, president of Equity,
who was instrumental in inviting the
authors to join the players union,
charged in open meeting that the com
mlttee was packed for the purpose of
preventing the authors as a body from
Joining Equity. In his speech he said
that before being appointed to the
committee Gene Buck and Edward
Childs Carpenter had expressed in
~hop. Mr.. Buck rose to point Of
personal privilege and offered denial
that he was biased, but finally admitted
that he had announced before being
named to the committee that he OBJ
posed the idea of authors joining
union.
Mr.. Emerson took exception to that
section of the resolution which con-
tended that the joining with Equity
would give the players too much power
and asked if the authors preferred to
restore to the managers and producers

Of plays the power they had before the
actors strike of 1919.
After much discussion the authors
adopted motion offered by Joseph
Noel inviting Frank Gilmore, execu-
tive secretary Of Equity. to express his
views and explain Equity shop" Mr.
Gilmore is not member of the
Dramatists' Guild.
Among those who voted for the reso-
luton opposing a playwrights' union
affiliated with union actors were:
Cosmo Hamilton, Mark Swami, Roi
Cooper Magrue, Edward Childs Car
penter, Porter Emerson Browne, Otto
Harbach and Gene Buck.
The eleven who voted against the
resolution and in favor Of Equity
shop" were Jesse Lynch Williams, Ed
ward Locke, Mrs. Locke, Zoe Aiken
Frank Bacon, Louis Evan Shpman
John Emerson, Anita Loos, Alice Duer
Miller. Joseph Noel and Philip Moeller.
So that Equity shop" in contradis-
tinction to "closed shop" might be I'M
derstood and as an assurance against
future changes in Interpretation, Mr.
Gilmore offered to write a definition
of this point into the Equity constitu-
ton that the playwrights might have
protection.

Willis, Harding's Senate
Successor, Takes Oath
He Says Simple Inaugural Plan
of President-Elect Forecasts
Economical Policies

From The Trt6une'S Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, the newly
chosen Republican Senator who sue
ceeds Warren G. Harding, took the
oath of Office to-day
"The action of the President elect in
speaking for simple inaugural exer-
cises has made favorable impression
in our section Of the country" said
Senator Willis. "The financial burdens
Of our nation are staggering. Economy
in public expenditures is as essential
as thrift in private life
''The example set by our distin-
guished President-elect in making pos
sible an unostentatious ceremony is in
keeping with the American spirit and
in harmony with the dictates of an
economy which all preach but too few
practise. I believe it is an omen of the
policies under which the nation will be
conducted during the next four years. "

ToUrge Wood
For w Post
Neither President-Elect Nor
the Colonel Will Discuss
the Report After the
Conference at Marion

General Said To Be Backed

ton to Succeed Harrison
From a stag CORRESPONDENT


MARION, Ohio, Jan. 14.-Although
neither President-elect Harding nor
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt would dis
cuss the matter, it was reported here
to-day that the principal object of the
visit Of T. RS eldest son was to urge
the appointment of Major General
Leonard Wood as Secretary Of War.
When asked if he had mentioned his
fathers old friend to Senator Harding
Colonel Roosevelt said that any re-
marks of that sort would have to come
from Senator Harding.
The President-elect, however, in sew
eral pertinent hints, has drawn a
sketch of the type Of man he wants
to head the War Department. He said
recently that he wanted a civilian who
had military experience. In a chat
with newspaper men to-day he said that
he felt that business executive in
the department could save more than
$50 100000 annually.
Brigadier General Charles Dawes. Of
Chicago, answers this description and
is generally referred to about Harding
headquarters as available Cabinet ma
terlal. Although he has been reporte
as almost certain Of the Treasury post.
recent developments indicate that he
has not been placed there definitely.
The Senate opposition to Dawes grows
out of his supposed friendliness for
John Shelton Williams.
Senate May Oppose Dawes
In the first place. it is understood
that powerful Senator recently made
1t clear to the President elect that q
fight would be made in the Senate to
oppose the confirmation of Dawes if he
was given the Treasury portfolio. Sen.
ator Harding is understood to have
every desire to avoid contention Of
that sort at the beginning of his ad-
ministration.
While Dawes, banker, might make
an excellent Secretary Of War, Senator
Harding has been told by some of his
recent visitors that Andrew w. Mellon,
pittsburgh banker, would make very
good Secretary of the Treasury, and
that his appointment would not be OBJ
resed by the Republicans in the Sen.
ate.

the grand jury, which, begins session
next week.
Started as New York Concern
The authorities say that the brokers
under arrest have been dealing in Ger
man marks since last summer. The
company is said to have operated in
Boston, Springfield, Worcester and New
Bedford. An investigation by the au-
thorities disclosed that the company,
under the name of the Alberton D.
Leonard Company, of New York, rent
ed the Boston Offices two years ago.
The lease was drawn by member of
the firm, it was said, but the company
opened for business under the name of
Leonard, Chandler G. Dopp, Of Wall
Street. They professed to be curb
brokers and specialized in Arizona
Annex, Raines Divide and Congress
sional Oil stocks.
The company continued this business
for some time, until the craze for for
eign exchange took hold Of investors
in this country, when they began an
advertising campaign to sell German
marks.

Massachusetts Brokers Said

Scheme Is Said to Have Been
Based on Six Months Ger
tificates; We're Never Paid

BOSTON, Jan. 14.-Three men have
been arrested and others are being
sought in what Attorney General Allen
believes to be huge swndle in Ger
man marks, whereby Massachusetts
men and women have been mulcted of
fully 100000. Those under arrest are
Nathaniel r. Goodman, of Boston;
abraham Horowitz, of Worcester, and
A. Gardner Bostedo, of Quincy. They
were connected with the firm Of Roth
schild. Campbell Co., Ltd, foreign ex-
change brokers.
According to the authorities the in
vestors were either duped by counter
felt marks or the Offices of the lex
change brokers" were found to be
closed when attempts were made to
take up options.
Goodman and Bostedo, according to
the police, were members of the Roth
child Campbell Company, together with
Augustus j. Marks, OF Dorchester, a
former Boston policeman. Bostedo
said to be former manager of the Bos-
ton Office Of the firm, was arrested at
the office of A. E. Fordyce e. Co., where
he was employed as salesman He is
charged with the larceny of $50 from
Joseph J. Pintus, OF Somerville, an in
vestor in German marks. Goodman
and Horowitz are held in $4,000 each
for hearing January "a, charged with
violating the anti-bucketshop law and
conspiracy to- steal
Options Reported Given
The police say the company issued
certificates, giving options for six
months on German marks in the pro-
portion of 10000 marks at $425. If
the marks went up at the expiration
OF this period they showed profit for
the investors.
Even if the rise in the marks ma
tcrialzed, the police say that none of
the buyers of the options had any
chance to win, as the company did not
buy marks to cover the options.

member of the Supreme Court of The
Philippines, also presented his views
on present conditions in the archi-
pelago.
One Of President-elect Harding's
most important appointment will be
that of Governor General of the
Harrison. The recent disturbance in
the islands was understood to have
been discussed to-day. There is dis
satisfaction among both Americans and
Filipinos at present, and it is under
stood that Senator Harding desires to
send a man out there who will be
competent to smooth out these diff
culties. General Woods, it is general
ly admitted, could accomplish this task
better and sooner than any one else.
Colonel Roosevelt discussed a wide
variety Of the subjects while he Yves
in Marion. About his talk with the
Preside intellect he said:
II am confident that under Senator
Harding's leadership we will enter an
era when we will think in terms of tho
United States. We will do our duty to
all, but we will bend our intentions t,
our internal problems. Senator Har
