that INSTEAD of the coal operators

proval of all reasonable and fair
minded Americans, they have
sought 90 settle the differences be-
tween themselves and their em-
ployes by importing thousands of
strikebreakers and employing hun
dreds of gun men to shoot and
bludgeon the workers into submis-
sion.
The direct call to non-union men
follows:
1--WE appeal to you as men to
cease work Immediately and stand
by your brothers who have carried
on the fight for recognition of
their demands for one year. and to
stand solid until the coal operators
of this territory are convinced that
civil government must prevail in.

ialS Begin Putting in Final
Shape Plans for EnforC-
ing the Measure.
DIFFICULT PROBLEMS
CONFRONT OFFICIALS
Additional Safeguards May
Be Needed Along the
United States Mexican
Line, Says Commissioner
By The Associated Press.)

Washington, May 20.-Im-
migration bureau officials
began today putting in final
shape plans for enforcing
the immigration restriction
act which was signed yes
terday by President Hard
ing and which becomes eff
fective June 3. Commits
sioner General Husband said
the chief problem to be
solved was the development
of a system of exchange of
information between govern
ment representatives at
home and abroad regarding
the number Of immigrants
entering the country.
The entry OF immigrants
through Canada will present an
other problem, he said. as the Ca
madam ports are used through an
international agreement as ports of
entry, and it will be necessary to
transmit information as to immi-
grants coming through Canada to
the American consular officers
abroad.
Since the United States has no
immigration agreement with Mex
leo. Commissioner Husband said
he looked for situation to arise
that might require additional safe
guards on that border to prevent
the smuggling OF aliens into the
United States. Large numbers of
aliens have been landing recently
at Vera Cruz. the commissioner
general said, and many Of them
have been found in this country
without legal authority.
Mr.. Husband expects keen COM
petition to develop among shipping
lines for the transportation of the
immigration quotas and he pre-
dicted that the whole number of
immigrants allowed by the new
law to come into this country will
be here in less than five months.
