ALIEN PROBLEM is
DISCUSSED BY EXPERTS
Urge Notice to World u. S. Is
No Dumping Ground.

The general subject of immigration.
with especial reference to its bearing on
radicalism and Americanization, Vas
discussed yesterday at the regular Sat-
urday afternoon meeting in the Repub-
lican Club. Speakers were Representa-
tive William y. Vaile. member of the
House Committee on immigration and
Naturalization; Richard II. Waldo, Mer-
ton a. Sturges. chief naturalization ex-
aminer Of the United States Department
of Labor, and DIR. Sidney l.. Gulick.
1t was agreed by all the speakers that
the problem of immigration presents so
many phases that it is almost impossible
to comprehend them all in legislation.
Representative jaile, in presenting his
views on the restrictive immigration
bill which recently passed the House OF
Representatives. declared that a great
part of its value lay in the fact that 1t
warned the world that this country must
not be regarded as a dumping ground
for Europe. Also, he said, the bill. If 1t
eventually becomes law, may be valu-
able in granting to this country a
breathing space in which to work out
sound immigration legislation.
Mr. Waldo declared himself In favor
of ability to read English as a test for
immigrants; Mr.. Sturges thought the
ceremony of naturalization should be
made more impressive and DIR. Gulick
declared that immigration ought TO be
controlled by the country's requirements
of labor and that immigrants on their
arrival should be sent to those parts of
the United States where they were most
needed.

WAGE CUTS ARE MADE
10000 MEN AFFECTED

silk workers and manufacturers OF
Paterson, n. j., are deadlocked IN the
controversy which began Monday
when the ribbon manufacturers put
into effect the forty-eight hour week
with wage reductions of 10 to 20 per
cent. and announced a beginning oi
the open shop policy. The broad SILK
manufacturers join the plan to-mor-
row. In all, 10000 workers are af-
fected. Because Of the nature or the
questions involved it will probably be
several days and perhaps another week
or two before a decision is reached.
The workers, in defying the manu-
facturers, have appealed to Mayor
Frank ]. Van MORT to use his in
fuence to prevent the adoption OF the
open shop. They also have refused to
work more than forty-four hours
week. So far there has been no talk
Of strike, although leaders say such
q move is not improbable.
Whistles on the ribbon mills blew at
1920 every day since last Monday as
against o'clock heretofore, following
an agreement of the Federated Board OF
Governors of the Associated Industries
Of Paterson, but the great majority Oh
the workers did not report until ). in
many places they found the doors, locked.
Altogether there are 5000 ribon work
ers in Paterson.

the silk dyeing industry was erected

1000 or 5000 dyers and helpers are

Many of the silk mills in Paterson
have been closed sor several weeks
and others for several months. Still
others are working only three days a

Death penalty for persons

"When the offense of robbery,

Anthony Caminetti, United States
Commissioner of immigration, returned
yesterday on the Adriatic of the White

He declined to make any definite COM
rnent on the reports that 25,00000o Euro

sidered reports to that effect as being
apparently authentic"
Concerning inquiries relating to the

said Mr. Caminetti, 1T Is desired at
this time to say that the report which
IL is proposed to submit to Secretary

"The immigration authorities of these
nations were officially visited, likewise
the American diplomatic and consular

'It will be recalled that in a state

was annonnced that the purpose of the
journey was to initiate study of emf
grafton conditions at the immigration
centres of Europe. Further activities in
this line depend upon the action of the
Department of Labor.
This work has been in contemplation
for some time, as the necessity for its
initiation has been apparent. Indeed, a
detail was ordered to visit Europe IL

York when the announcement OF the dec

TO TURN HOSPITAL TO STATE
Texas Department of American Legion
to Reinquish Control of Kerr
Vile Institution.

The Texas department Of the Ameri-
can Legion is completing arrangements
to turn the Legion Memorial hospital
at Kerrville over to the state in order
that the provisions of the bill appro-
priating $1,500,0O0 to expand the in
stitution to capacity of 600 tubercu-
lar patients, passed by the state legis-
lature, may be carried out.
The Legion will maintain it's hospital
organization, which will cooperate
with the state health officer, the super
intendent of the state tuberculosis san
itarium and the chairman of the state
board of control, the officers designat-
ed to supervise the expenditure of the
appropriation.
Charles w. Scruggs, state adjutant
of the Legion, has expressed the ap-
probation Of the ex-service men as fol-
lows:
1.-THE governor of the great State of
Texas has met our expectations and
am firmly convinced has only consum-
mated the sentiment of the people Of
Texas by signing the Legion Memorial
hospital bill. The Legion is proud to
share with the governor and with the
Legislature our inordinate pride in the
consummation of this splendid en-
deayor and fulfillment of our funda-
mental duty to Texas disabled ex-
service men,"

That the voice of the ex-service men
Of Kansas, as represented by the Am

manifested by the generous enactment
Of legislation beneficial to veterans Of

state has passed the following bills
affecting ex-seryice men: An adjusted
compensation bill, in the form of an
enabling act; an act granting to all
ex-service men of the World war the
same rights, privileges and immune
ties granted to veterans of other wars
an appropriation of $1,000 year for
general expenses of state headquarters
of the Legion; an act protecting the
Legion and Auxiliary emblems from
unauthorized use; exemption from
taxation of all property held in the
name of the Legion; an act placing

forts to revitalizing his business. In
February, 1919, when the city OF Hart
ford needed a capable man to direct
it's Soldiers, Sailors and Marines club,
Mr.. Bannigan was asked to take the
job. Despite the call of his business,
he abandoned it again, through pa
triotic motives, to supervise the club.
A record-maker in the formation
and organization of Rau-Locke post
No. 8, Mr. Bannigan soon became one
of the most prominent Legionna1res
in the state and was elected as the
first state adjutant. Department head
quarters had been without a perma-
nent location, using a room in the
Service club as quarters. Br. Ban
nigan prevailed upon the city author
tiles to turn the building over to the
Legion.
Mr. Bannigan is also a member OF
the national committee on war risk
insurance and compensation and is
chairman of the Hartford ElkS' ma
tional soldiers fund committee.
