ASKS CONTRACT LABOR LAW
TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION
Harvard Professor Would Demand
Minimum Wage Guarantee

Boston, April 22.-(By A. PA
plan Of restricted immigration, based
upon a reversal Of the present contract
labor law. was advanced by Prof.
Thomas Nixon Carver Of Harvard Uni 4.
yersity. in an address before the Ma
tional Association of Cotton Mnnufac
turers here today.
"Better than exclusion he said in
discussing immigration, would be n
plan of restriction which would select
those who we're capable Of entering the
we'll paid occupations and exclude those
who would crowd into occupations where
wages are ulready too low. The best
way to do this would be to reverse our
present contract labor law and admit
only such immigrants as could present
contracts. signed by responsible EN- :
ployers. guaranteeing employment at 81
a day for at least n year. This would
admit all the laborers who were really
needed.
AT the same time it would prevent
the coming of hordes of cheap laborers
whose influence is to depress the wage
OF unskiled labor. 1t would make the
lower grades of labor SO scarce as to
eventually make So day the actual
minimum wage without the difficulty OF
enforcing minimum wage law

Ceipts of a baseball game between the

Miss Alice \. Johnson, head nurse
of the Board Of Education, will be in

"The public health fund is fund
maintained for the purpose Of helping
children toward good health" Miss
Johnson said. I'VE believe that through
the greater use of milk children as a
whole will build up better. A large
part of the money will be used to buy
milk for the undernourished children.
Many of them cannot afford it.
The management Of the Athletics
has been asked TO help and has re-
sponded, attaching no conditions. All
the teachers of the board should attend,

This evidence covered seven big volumes.
Mr. Clemont said 1T is most i'm

possible: 1t is only fair to the public,
