IMMIGRATION LAW HELPS
 CHECK FOREIGN INVASION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-A survey of the immigration figures for the fis- cal year just completed indicates that the 3 per cent limitations law has proved an effectual bar to any over- whelming movement of immigrants from Southern and Eastern European countries to the United States, Secre- tary of Labor Davis announced.
 The stream of aliens from these countries is straining the quotas, which allot to each nation annually admissions equal to per cent of the number of foreign born of that nation ality in the United States in 1910. The figures show strikingly that Northern and Western Europe, source of so-- called Nordic immigration, is falling far short of filling it's quotas, while the southern and eastern races are sending just as many to America as America will accept
 A OI IIle dulS du~ mitted during the fiscal year which ended June 30, shows that the follow ing countries sent to this country 100 per cent of the quotas allowed them under the per cent law: Belgium Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg Poland, Rumania, Jugo-Slavia, Pales- tine, Turkey, Syria, the miscellaneous European and Asiatic countries, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, The countries which filled their quo tas to 97 per cent but less than 100 per cent were: Albania, Bulgaria, Czecho- o-Slovakia, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Armenia.
 In contrast with these nations, the countries of Northern and Western Europe in some instances sent less than one-half of the number per mitted.

BOAT NORTHB0UND FOR
 SIX MONTHS CRUISE

SEATTLE, Aug. 15. - Bound for the distant Portlock banks in the Gulf of Alaska, the halibut schooner "Vansee," one of the crack fishing vessels in the fleet of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association, is on her way for a six months season in northern waters. The "Vansee," which lands her catches at Prince Rupert, comes south only once or twice a year, when the voyage to Puget Sound is made for repair and overhaul work. The fishing boat ar rived here two weeks ago for thor ough overhauling in the Salmon Bay yard of the Fishing Vessel Owners Marine Ways, Inc. Between her ov- erhaul bill and the amounts she expended in outfitting for the long voyage north, the schooner expended several thousand dollars in Seattle, including nearly $900 for fuel oil. The ''Vansee" will get her herring bait in Alaska waters.
 According to figures compiled by John Lokken, office manager of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association, the fleet landed i, ,000 pounds of halibut, valued at $125,000, in Seattle during July The total averaged S175 a ton in value. This is a de- crease as compared with the record for July, 1921, when the fleet land ed 1,469,O00 pounds. Besides the halibut landed this year, the fleet brought in 127,9OO pounds of mixed cod, valued at approximately $3,200.

Mills, chief of the passenger bureau of the Southern Pacific Railroad, sailed for San Francisco on the Ad- miral liner Ruth Alexander with the announcement that he was going back to California to spread the fame of the Great North as a tourist at traction. He was accompanied by Mrs Mills.
 Mir. Mills made the round voyage on the Admiral Lines Southeastern Alaska steamship Queen.
 From what I saw onA the voyage of the Queen, I believe Alaska is bound to go ahead with great strides. The possibilities of the wood pulp industry impressed me greatly. In each place we visited in the North we found renewed confidence among miners, salmon packers and others. The voyage was delightful and I would like to make it over again. As tourist attraction, Alaska is an enormous asset to the whole coast"
 The attention of Mir. Mills was call ed to the fact that a California newspaper is staging contest in which the prize is two round voyages on the Alaska route. MT. Mills said it was sign of the times.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Develop- :. ments in the railway strike situation today reached decisive point with the announcement given out at the White House that President Harding had finally abandoned all efforts at mediation between the workers and the railroad operators.

It was un- derstood early today, and later con- firmed by the formal announcement to the effect, that the President is considering going before Congress within the next few days with con- prehensive statement of the entire situation.
 Leaders of the railway labor organ izations, meanwhile, have published the text of the rejection of the Presi- dents proposals for settlement of the strike.
