WORKERS ABROAD
I. HAVE EYES ON i. S.
Conditions in France and
England Prevent Emigration,
R. B. Mahany Reports.

Large numbers of the laboring
classes of both France and England
want to emigrate to the United States.
but are finding it Impossible to do so
through inability to save enough
money, and also because Of the ad-
verse monetary exchange. This con-
dition was reported to Secretary OF
Labor James ]. Davis today by Row
land B. Mahany, who was sent to Eu-
rope by the Wilson administration to
attend the sessions of the international
Commission on Immigration and Emil
grafton. His resignation was accepted
last week by President Harding.

Wilson to fix his salary,
An opinion has been given by for
mer Solicitor Abererombie on both
questions, which upheld the right OF
the President to appoint delegate
and the right of the Secretary OF
Labor to flx salary. incidentally 1t
was learned today that Mr.. Mahany
paid his expenses for the European
Tells of Low Rate Of Wages.
The report Of the immigration dele
gate says that low wages are pre-
venting many Englishmen from COM
ing to this country, while in France
the present rate OF exchange on the
franc ID an almost insurmountable
barrier to immigration.
In defense of attacks that have
been made on him, Mr.. Mahany points
out in his report to Secretary Davis
that 1t was planned on the part Of the
former Secretary of Labor to set aside
a sum Of $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses OF the immigration commits
sioner and his aids.

report said, affecting. as it will, the

LADDIE BOY WANTED
AT MANY BENCH SHOWS
THROUGHOUT COUNTRY

The White House is being flooded
with Invitations from the manage
ments of dog show associations
throughout the country for Laddie
Boy to participate. They are COM
ing SO thick and fast, and from
such far distant points that Will
son Jackson, master of hounds at
the White House, said Laddie Boy
would be little stranger in these
parts IL all the invitations were
accepted.
Thus far none of these requests
i to show the Presidents dog has
been accepted, and it is consid-
cred doubtful if any of them will
be. 1t is considered likely, how
ever, that Laddie Boy may make
his first and only appearance at a
bench show when the annual af-
fair OF the local dog fanciers is
held in the District.

POLICE WILL REOPEN
SCHOOL FOR ROCKIES
Lieut.. William S. Shelby, Assistant
Head of Traffic Bureau,
to Be in Charge.

Police Lieut.. William s. Shelby,
assistant head of the traffic bureau.
will leave that branch of the service
some time in April to reopen the
school for rookie" policemen. it be-
came known today.
Lieut.. Shelby formerly was in charge
of the school. but during the post
war period. When many vacancies ex-
listed on the force. it was thought
unwise to take men off duty even
for a few days at a time to put them
in the police school.
Now the gap in the ranks is rapidly
being filled and the task of training
the newer members of the force will
be resumed. There are only about
thirty vacancies on the force today,
which is considerably less than the
department hah had for the past year.
Some of these vacancies probably will
be filled before the school gets under
way.
When the school was in operation
before the men were detailed there
in small groups for periods of twenty
four days. during which time they
were given instructions in all of the
practical problems that come up in
the daily life of a policeman.
