LARGE EMPLOYERS
WOULD PAY FARES
OF BETTER ALIENS
By MARIk SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. - Various
large employers Of labor are begin
ming to bring pressure on congress to
modify the immigration law in the
direction. of admitting more male labor.
They say that the shortage of un-
skilled labor is embarrassing. and that
it has resulted or Is now resulting in
advances of wages To such 9 degree
as to disturb seriously our whole IN
dustrial balances. Records kept by
agents of a number of large employers
Nov. Is, there were advances in wages
in 36 cities and a reduction of wages
in only one.
While there is this spectacle of RS
ing wages in the cities, there is on
the farms the contrasting spectacle of
increasing distress. The unhappy re-
suit is that the farms are being drain
ed of young men to take the place of
the factory workers who would have
been supplied by immigration as long
as immigration was unrestricted the
employers make this plea earnestly.
But there is little likelihood of con-
gress being moved to grant 1t.
Want Purer Anericanism
The forces which passed the present
immigration law by a majority of more
than nine to one, Is not less powerful
in the new congress. Moreover, senti-
ment throughout the country tends to
grow more and more rigid in its In
sistence on a purer Americanism.- One
of the leading Republicans in the
Lower House who had held his dis
trict for 16 years, lost it~this year be-
cause a charge was circulated that he
voted against the immigration restric-
tion act
Any change made in the present i'm
migration laws is more apt to be in
the direction of admitting fewer aliens
rather than more, there is one thing
that might be done.
Provisions of Law.
The present law permits the entry
of three per cent of the number of
aliens from each country who are
already in America at the time of the
census of 1910. Under this limitation.
Italy, Poland, Greece and the other
races of eastern and southeastern
Europe are sending in just as many as
their quota permits. but Germany
England, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark,
Sweden and Norway are not sending
as many as their quotas permit. Ger
many, for example. would have been
permitted to send in some $4,000 more
than she did last year.
The reason for the failure of these
countries to send in as many as they
are entitled to send, at a time of good
wages in America, and distress at
home, is the lack of money to pay the
high passenger fares.
1t is proposed that such immigrants
as these who do not inspire prejudice
or oppression, could be helped to
make the trip to America by financial
aid from this country

DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
WILL BE DECORATED
DURING XMAS SEASON

Preparations are under way for the
decoration of the city for the Christ
mas season. The work under the
supervision of the Richmond CommC-
nifty Service, is progressing very rap
idly, and it is planned to have even
more decorations than were used last
year
The Rotary and Kiwanis. clubs have
-haan asked to lead their support and
committees have been appointed by
each of the clubs to carry on the work.
E lie ctric decorations, holly and
wreaths. Christmas trees and other
things that go TO show the spirit of
Christmas, will be placed throughout
the downtown district of the city.
Caroling will be another feature of
this years Christmas program. It will
be held under the leadership of Mr..
Ora StegaH, of the Community service.
Christmas carol sheets have been or
dered and they are on their way
from New York City.
Caroling was tried last year and
it proved very successful. but it is
thought advisable to change the time
of caroling. Carolers rode through
out the city last Christmas morning 1T
o'clock. This time interfered with
some of the church services of the
city and all the people who were at
tending church at that time could not
take part The hour set for this
years caroling is at o'clock Christ
mas eve. All evening church services
will be over at that time, and more
people can take part in the singing.
Other plans for the Christmas day
uroSram will be announced later

PROGRESSIVES
ORGANIZE TO
WELD POWER
Party Lines Are Not
Recognized
nx LAwRENcE MARTIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. Progress
ises in congress met today in the first
phase of two-fold national progress
i've program which its sponsors intend
shall give expression to what they be-
lieve to be the prevailing political
trend OF the times.
Today's session, held in the office Of
the senate agriculture committee
brought together the remaining men,
bers of a once famous group of con-
gressional progressives-oldb bull moos-
ers, some of them-and added to them
new and virile spirits from the west
and middlewest.
Party lines were not recognized in
the meeting. When Senator .LaFol-
lete, Wisconsin, called the meeting to
order, both Democrats and Republi-
cans were Joined in an effort to bring
about a solid progressive organization,
able to dictate the organization Of both
houses and senate in the sixty eighth
congress, and to. WELD tremendous
power in the shaping of legislative pol
icie5 for the next two years.
A dozen or more senators and sena-
tors-elect and more than a score of
ence.
LaFoIIette Leader.
Senator LaFollette was expected to
be chosen chairman of the Progressive
organization He called today's meet
ing as well as the general meeting OF
men and women from all parts of the
country which is to be held tomorrow
as a sequel to today's meeting of coz
al TnEnllQf Tn
was to tell his colleagues at today S
session that the Nov elections and
events prior to it, clearly indicated
nationwide dissatisfaction with the
methods of present political leaders in
congress, and that the people undoubt-
edIy expected the progressives elected
Nov. z to put into effect program
based on public welfare, rather than
partisan considerations. +.
Unless they are organized as before,
the progressives will be unable to car
ry out this mandate, LaFollette holds,
and he was to warn his colleagues that
organized or unorganized, progress
sives in the next congress would be
the target for more kinds of attack
from the stand-pat leaders of both
parties than ever before.
Effect Of Meeting.
Today's meeting, with others that
will follow, was expected to show
whether the progressives who repre-
sent various groups of political and
economic thought, can readily bury
minor differences and get together on
a legislative program
LaFollette and his colleagues went
into the meeting disavowing emphat
ieally any third party idea. The key
note of their activities for the next
two years at least, they said. would
be to translate into legislation, the
will of the people, as expressed IN
the congressional election on Nov. z.
