reer as craftsman
Hard work finally brought him to
the superintendency of the Long Isl
and railroad and it was from this posi-
ton in 1914 that he was plucked by
Lord Hamilton, chairman of England's
Great Eastern railway, to run that
road after Hamilton had said that there
was not capable man in England
Thornton went to England and took
up direction of the road early in the
year. He faced the resentment and
antagonism of the natives and grad
ually overcame it.
When the war broke out and Eng
lands rail executives were organized
Thornton was ignored but he kept
right on plugging and the Great East
ern hauled the greater part of the war
supplies to the channel ports.
His genius became recognized and
he was made director of channel trans
ports. Then the hngamade him K.

Thornton, now president of the Ca

bearing device which may revolution
ize railroad operation.
The device, it is claimed, will bring
a great saving in fuel and an increase
in speed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 7.-Wil
congress pass a new immigration law
at the approaching session? Will 1t be
made more difficult for foreigners TO
enter the land of the free and the
home of prohibition, or will existing
restrictions be so modified as to bring
in a larger and steadier supply of the
labor that is needed in certain indus
tries?
These are questions of widespread
interest and importance concerning
which much win be heard when the
national law-making body is back on
the Job. That there will be numerous
new immigration measures proposed
is a foregone conclusion, and at this
time it is evident that their fate will
not be determined without memoir
able fight.
Certain interests want Immigration
made easier First of all there are the
foreigners themselves who are anxious
to get away from distressing condi-
lions in their native countries and es-
tablish themselves in the new world
of opportunity and peace. Second,
there are the steamship companies
that find a great source of revenue
in carrying immigrants to these
shores. They would find it greatly to
their advantage if the limitations i'm
posed by the present law were re.
moved or so changed that practically
every foreigner who could pass the
mental and physical tests would be as
sured of a welcome when he approach
ed the Statue of Liberty.
Various industries in the United
States are also interested in moro
liberal immigration regulations Not
able among them is the steel industry
which is being seriously Handicapped
by a shortage of common labor.
The turnover among the skilled
workers employed in the steel mills
has always been exceptionally large.
II is the sort of a job that man does
not stick at very long after he can find
another at equally as good or even
approximately as good wages. The
hours are long and the work is gruell-
ing. involving perhaps the greatest
physical strain necessitated in any
kind of labor

were practically no restrictions upon
immigration and the immigrants from
the Old World were accustomed to
arduous toll that earned them but
bare existence. They found that thew
could go into the steel mills immediate
" upon their arrival, that their ignor-
ance of our language or of the work
was little or no handicap to them,
and that they could earn wages that
were to them almost unbelievably
large. They welcomed the chance.
In time this stream of foreign labo,
was checked by immigration laws and
then came the World war which cut
it off entirely. After the war it was
as if the dam forming the reservoir
had burst and there was prospect
of this country's being overrun with
cheap European labor. This led to
the drastic law limiting the number
of immigrants who may come from
any one country to the United States
in one year to three per cent of the
foreign born of that nationality resi-
dent in this country in 1910.
Under the strict enforcement of that
law the number of foreigners given

Bona Eide College Players

The protest Of Coach Richards Of the Wisconsin
football squad against the banning of one Of his
stars by Illinois has again focused the spotlight
on alleged professionalism in college athletics.
The activity of alumni in hiring football and
basketball stars for their schools, men who enter
the colleges ostensibly for an education but in
reality to play stellar game, is a common prac-
tice. If the members of the football and basket
ball teams are not bona fide students of the insti
buttons which they are attending, they should be
barred from the teams.

working at 80 per cent il sufficient
labor could be obtained.
In view of all this it is apparent
that congress will be pressed with de-
mands to ease up on immigration re-
strictions.
On the other hand, it has been made
equally clear that all such proposals
will be opposed vigorously. Labor
leaders are girding themselves for the
fight and rallying their forces for an
onslaught on congress such as gives
promise of a lively winter.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, in what he term
ed "A Bugle Call to Duty" has served
notice of the militant intentions Of
the interests he represents. He UNI
dertook to speak for American labor
when he said that if congress gives

Taking a handkerchief, the performer

The trick is accomplished with two

twisted on to the ends of the thread
which passes through the needle. They
will hold their position easily, and the
