CHECK ON IMMIGRATION
URGED BY EDUCATOR
Would Bar Gates to All but Skilled
Labor, or Workers With
$5-a-Day Contracts.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

by Associated Press to Every Evening
Boston, April ga plan of restricted
immigration based upon a reversal of
the present contract labor law was ad-
vanced by Professor Thomas Nixon
Carver. of Harvard University. in an
address before the National Association
Of Cotton Manufacturers here today.
Better than exclusion he said.
would be a plan of restriction which
would select those who were capable of
entering the we'll paid occupations. and
exclude those who would crowd into
occupations where wages are already
too low. The best way TO do this would
be TO reverse our present contract labor
law. and admit only such immigrants
IS could present contracts signed by re-
sponsible employers. guaranteeing en-
ployment at IS a day for at least a
year. This would admit all the laborers
who were really needed.
"At the same time ii would prevent
the coming of hordes of cheap laborers
whose influence is to depress the wage
of unskilled workers. II would make
the lower grades of labor so scarce as
to eventually make five dollars a day
the actual minimum wage without the
difficulty of enforcing a minimum wage
law. Whatever immigration policy Is
adopted we must not lose sight OF the
fact that the essential thing is to re-
strict.
