SECRETARY WAS

Recommendations Regard
ing immigration.
(5y The Associated Press).

WASHINGTON, April 20.-A formal
statement issued today by the state
department said that Secretary
Hughes did not make and did not in
tend to make any recommendations
whatever regarding immigration in
transmitting to congress reports from
American government agents abroad
dealing with the movement of emil
grants TO the United States.
1t was stated in an Associated Press
dispatch last night that Mr.. Hughes
had made such a recommendation and
he. also was quoted as saying that
"our restriction on immigration
should be so rigid that it would be
impossible for most of these people to
enter the United States reference he
ing made especially to Armenians
Jews, Persians and Russians"
AS a matter of fact, that quotation
appeared in a paraphrase of a report
from the. American consul at Tiflis re-
lating tospeople in that district which
was among a number of similar re-
ports transmitted to the house and
senate immigration committee by
Mr. Hughes after Chairman Johnson
of the house committee, had asked for
information on the subject.
Publication of extracts from the
government reports was the subject of
discussion today in the house. Rep
resentatiye Chandler, republican, NV

United States for Letvis and Lithu-

LONDON, April .20.-It is virtually

the strike before next week. the

new proposals made public by the
owners are too vague TO afford oa-
sis for negotiations.
Both sides, however, continue to
display q desire to get together if a
basis can be found, and

miners union succeed in the admitted
ly hard task of swinging the delegates
conference Friday to his side. it IS be-

acter."
