Persistent Devotion to Pub

Placing the Government on
a Sound business basis.

New York, Nay o3.-The admins

Is even at the cost of offending "a
certain class of politicians was re-
affirmed by President Harding to-
day in an address here in a luncheon
of the Academy of political Science.
The task, the president declared.
already had shown that to be sue
cessfully completed would require
persistent, determined, stony heart
ed devotion to the public interests"
without a trace of sympathy for the
of1ceholder whose only excuse for
drawing salary is that he needs
the money. Loss of a certain sort of
prestige to the administration, Mr..
Harding said, was certain to result
though it might be compensated in
the long run by the realization of
the good accomplished for the gem
era1 public.
Work has already been done by
the reorganization committee Great
ed by Congress and executive orders,
the President said, and considerable
progress was promised for the i'm
mediate future. Mr.. Harding pre-
dicted the reorganization task would
be a long one and asked for co-opera-
tion and support of citizens every
where and asked suggestions from
the general public.

LABOR SECRETARY
DENIES REPORTS
ARE SUPPRESSED
In Reply to Compers' State
ment on Hawaii Produces
Full Text of Papers.
BY International News Service.

Secretary of Labor Davis has de-
MED statements made by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. to the effect
that reports made by Government
agents on the labor situation in
Hawaii have been suppressed In the
Labor Department.
Representative johnson. chairman
of the Committee on Immigration.
wrote Secretary Davis setting forth
the Gompers charges. with particular
reference to a report made by In
spector Richard l.. Halsey. in charge
of immigration at Honolulu. as far
back as 1913. and another by Daniel
j. keefe, former commissioner gen
eral of immigration, made in 1911.
Investigation Of the department
files by Secretary Davis produced the
report Of Keefe, which contained the
report Of Halsey in full.
Congressman Raker Of California
asked for the keefe report in 1913, and
IL was transmitted to him with the
approval of the then Secretary of
Labor. At the time Keefe's report
was received, in 1911, a portion of 1t
was omitted at the request of<he then
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor. but
in 1913 the complete report. including
the portion omitted in 1911, was given
to Mr.. Raker.
Commenting on the statement Of
Keefe to Mr.. Raker that a portion
OF his report had been omitted, Sec
rotary Davis. in his letter to Mr.
johnson, says that whatever grounds
there may be for the statement that
certain reports on labor conditions in
Hawaii in years past have not been
made public" this been remedied by
the approval of the Secretary of La
Dor of the publication of the entire
keefe report.
The House Committee on Immigra-
ton has tentatively approved the pas
sage of resolution to permit the i'm
portation Of otherwise inadmissiblc
aliens" equal to 20 per cent OF the
total population of the Territory Of
Hawaii, but Chairman johnson has
not yet reported the resolution back
to the House, pending further investi
cation.
II is estimated that the gates of
Hawaii would be open to admit $4,000
coolie laborers for work on the planta-
tons. They would be admitted under
bond, for a period OF five years.
