The Johnson bill also would reduce
on July l, 1923, the quota percentage
from each country from 3 to 2 ner
cent based on 1910 census figures. In
addition to the 2 per cent quota each
country, however, would be given
flat allowance of 900, the maximum
total from this 900 flow being estimat.
ed at $4,000.
The percentage reduction, according
to Mr.. Johnson's estimates, would cut
the total quota admissions from
around 2s5,O00 to 10000. Not more
than 10 per cent of any country's quota
would be admitted into the United
Str IS in one month.
No attemrt will be made to have
the house vote on the Johnson pro.

Learning Languages At
Home Without Teachers

An interesting statement has been
issued by the Berlitz School of Lang
guages, which has hundreds of schools
in all parts of the world. While this
educational institution clings to its
text that the best way to learn to speak
and to be understood in foreign
language or to understand it when it is
spoken by foreigners, is to take a
course of lessons through personal in
struction from experienced native
teachers, who use and make you
speak their language only, without a
word of English, yet it is held entire
ly feasible and practical to learn a
foreign language by correspondence
courses.
For many years the skeptical have
read alluring advertisements about
tearing languages by correspondence,
but most people have agreed with
Pats observation that II have me
doubts" This viewpoint must undergo
. change in view of the statement by
the Berlitc people, who have been the
worlds greatest authorities on Ian
guages for nearly half century. The

The Industrial Situation

The general situation along INDUS
trial lines has improved until the
amount of unemployment during the
past month has been comparatively
small" says statement by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York. The
statement continues: THE iron and
steel industry has been operating at
above rs per cent of nominal capacity,
but this has meant practically full en-
ployment for available labor. Reports
from the Southern iron centers have
told of the recruiting of negro labor
by agents from the North. The ce-
ment industry has been going full
speed, sustained by the large amount
of highway building under way, and
the latter of itself has called for a
large supply of labor The amount or

labor situation in the last three months
has approached conditions at the
height of the boom. The output OF
automobiles and trucks in May made 1t

is interesting to note that the great
bulk of the automobile business is in
the cheap and moderate priced cars.

Wage advances have taken place IN
numerous instances, one of the most
noteworthy being the advance In the

hcently numerous to demonstrate that

industry back into activity. The inter-

Increased Coal Production.

The Geological Survey notes that
there is increased production in coal
fields, which it says comes not from
any strongly organized fields, but re-
suits from a gradual return to work
in non-union fields affected by the
strike, and from increased activity in
districts of the Far West where de-
mand has hitherto been insufficient to
call out full production. The accu-
mutation of unbilled loads is still de-
clining and the draft upon consumers
stock piles continues.

Gas in 1920

Although the gas-making industry
had great difficulty in obtaining ade-
quate supplies of good fuel In 1920,
the quantity of gas sold was greater
than ever before, amounting to nearly
500 billion cubic feet, having a value
more than $3O0,0000OO, according to
the United States Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior. The sale
of by-products by gas-making COM
panies was also greater in 1920 than
in any previous year. Over 100000
gallons of tar. 100000 pounds of
amonium sulphate or its equivalent,
and nearly l25,0Oo000 gallons of light
oil and other derivatives were the prin-
eipal items among these by-products.
The average price OF gas in 1920 was
much higher than it had been for sew
eral years, averaging 10 cents a thous-
and cubic feet greater for coal gas and
water gas and S cents a thousand cubic
feet greater for oil gas and coke-over
gas than in 1918.

Tale and Soapstone
Production

The production of tale and soap
stone in 1921 showed a great decline
as compared with that of 1920. The
quantity sold was the smallest since
1908 and was about 40 per cent less
than the average for the five preceding
years, according to Edward Sampson,
of the United States Geological Sur
vey. The total quantity of tale and
soapstone sold in 1921 was 10000
tons, valued at 1921, 900, as compared
with 2ll,OOO tons, valued at 3,035,000,
in 1920. This represents decrease of
40 per cent in both quantity and value.
Vermont, New York and Virginia are
the principal States producing tale
and soapstone.

Checking Immigration

Whatever may be thought of the
immigration restriction law as mat
ter of public policy or private hard
ship, 1t must be acknowledged that it
has been very effective. The number
of immigrants who would have come
to the United States during the year
ending July amounts to about 1000
000 The new law can be credited
with the exclusion of 100000 aliens
during the last year as the number
actually admitted has been about $780,
900.
Under this law, the number of immi-
grants admitted one year from any
country is limited to 3 per cent of the
total number previously admitted from
that country, as ascertained by the
census. The quotas of % countries
have been exhausted, according to the
records of the Department of Labor.
AS the end of the year approached the
number of aliens held up at Ellis Is
land increased in number, on account
of the exhaustion of the quota of one
country after another. Every foreign
er who is barred by minor officials at
a port of entry has the right of appeal
to the Secretary of Labor, who is re-
quired by law to make a decision in
each case No other official, not even
the commissioner general of immigra-
ton, can make final decision. The
cases, numbering thousands every
month, caused jam at Ellis Island,
where thousands of persons were
packed in close quarters while the Sec
rotary of Labor and his assistant spent
days and nights passing upon the ap-
peals for admission.
On July the gates will be open
again to immigrants from all coun-
tries, and under the 3 per cent Jaw a
fresh quota will be available. For six
months or more immigrants from
many countries have been barred. The
tremendous rush that will follow the
renewal of admissions and the discom-
fort and crowding at immigrant sta
tons may be imagined. An unpre-
cedented rush for entry into the Unit
ed States is epected adm it will con-
tinue until the filling of quotas will shu,
the bars down to one country after
another.

Reduces immigration and
Bars Mongolians.

Under a bill designed to tighten up
the immigration law, introduced by
Chairman Johnson of the House I'm
migration committee, admission for
permanent residence in this country
would be granted only to aliens eli
gible for citizenship, thus, it was point
ed out, shutting the gates to Japanese,
Chinese, Mongolians and others not
granted the right of citizenship who
desire such residence.

Talks Turkey" About
Coal Situation
George Otis Smith, director of the
United States Geological Survey,
whose data on the coal industry has
been the guide for government officials
handling the situation, declares that
there is going to be tremendous
shortage of COAL" and that he believes
many householders will burn coke
this winter"
Director Smith says further: "The
situation is acute, and one can see it
along the Atlantic seaboard from Bos-
ton to Washington. The tracks are
practically empty of coal cars. The
coal reserves are down probably to
100000 tons, or enough to last from
seven to ten weeks more.
"What coal producers and coal con-
sumers alike need is reform of the coal
business rather than compromise be-
tween parties to the controversy" says
Director Smith. "In this reform it is
absolutely essential that the mine
workers should cooperate with the
mine operator. Too long have the
mine owners treated the coal business
as private privilege, and too long have
the labor leaders, with no less mon
opolistic attitude, obstructed every
move for underground efficiency and
economy.
"The peoples coal costs too much
because of the mistaken idea that mine
owner and mine worker can continue
to fight over contracts and rules.
Cheaper coal and larger earnings will
come when engineering is emphasized
more and bargaining less"

join such an organization might do
so when the series are thrown open
to the public for subscriptions.
The league members also went on
