WHO'S BOSS OF AMERICAN
(From the Cleveland Gazette)

VI IOIll OlCNSlohu N~NSSSS/
Whether the United States is to
determine it's own immigration pol
icy or have that policy dictated by
European people who want to come
here, is the question presented by
the excess numbers of immigrants
now coming to America. Recently
there arrived in American ports 1000
would-be immigrants in excess of the
number that can be admitted under
the law. Thus is presented for de-
termination the question whether
the law shall be set aside and multi
fled because 1000 people want to
come in. Of course, the plea is that
these people have incurred the ex-
pense of coming here, and have sew
cred their home ties. They have
spent all they had in payment of cost
of transportation. To send them
back would be inhuman. That is the
argument to be made in behalf of
their admission, and the same argu-
ment can and will be made in behalf
of thousands more if these 1000 be
admitted. Four thousand immigrants
more or less may be of some conse-
quence, but it is of relatively little
consequence beside the greater and
fundamental question whether our
immigration policies are to be deter
mined by ourselves or by Europeans.
If the United States government is
to surrender it's right to say who
shall come and when and how, then
we might as we'll throw down the
bars entirely, repeal the immigration
laws and permit everybody to come
who wants to come. Every Ameri-
can naturally feels sympathy for peo-
pie who have landed here with the
expecta ton of being permitted to
stay. But we have ourselves to
think of as we'll as them. We have
been receiving an immigration which
we have been unable to assimilate.
We are menaced by horde of aliens
who are antagonistic to American
ideals and American institutions.
The immigration restriction law was
enacted for the express and sole pur-
pose of checking the flood of immi-
grafton so that we can Americanize
those we have already admitted be-
fore we add tremendously to our bur-
den. AS President Coolidge recently
remarked, we cannot expect people
who come here in violation of our
laws to be law7abiding after they get
here. They are a constant menace
to our institutions. Of course there
are exceptions to this rule, but it is
generally true. Men who are able to
circumvent the law of the land in
order to get in, will have no respect
for that law of the nation after they
get here. Having evaded the law in
one respect, they will not hesitate to
attempt evading it in other respects.
The only safe procedure is to deport
those who came in illegally.

Chattanooga, Tenn.-Sam Bird, a
farmer living near here, owns what is
thought to be the only watch in the
world which does not have to be

hours, is provided with small pendu-

he walks. This movement winds the

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Sept. -3.-( (By Associated Press.)-Blue met gray at the national encampment of the G. A. A., when Major B. H. Cummings, of Jamestown. O., stepped from his train here today and was welcomed d by officers of the encampment. 03
 After an exchange of greetings Major Cummings glanced about and Inquired: Where are the other Con- federates" When told he was the only representative of the southern army to arrive, his figure became more erect.
 This won't be an unfamiliar sit uation." he said. You all had us Dutnumbered as badly during Lees re- treat"

Major Cummings was conspicuous ffigurc among the bl-.- coated northern men at the headquarters hotel where, according to the ma jor, the Battle of Handshakes" started. After 1t had been in progress for a quarter of an hour he turned to his escort and said, E"I should have some reserves to bring Iup. Must te that they are afraid of Fthese blue boys"
 Major Cummings surrendered to Znewspapermen "only for a few mo- 2ments," and told of his enlistment in 1.-the Confederate army. T wasn't Is years old when enlisted at Lexing- ton. Va. in the John Carpenter bat

PLANES ID ATTACK EMPHASIZES IN
 NAVAL EXPERIMENT
Defense Experts To Decide Many Disputed Wartime
 Questions By Bombing

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3,-Army and navy experts on questions of na- tional defense left Washington to- night to observe the attack by army bombers on the obsolete battleships Virginia and New Jersey Wednesday off Cape Hatteras.
 Information of far-reachlng mili- tary importance Is expected to be obtained from the tests, the results of which will enable the experts to decide many questions on which avi- ation and naval officers now dis agree. It Is not expected, however. that final decisions on all points at issue will be possible as a result of the demonstration and further ex- periments probably will be required before a final policy Is worked out.
 Questions on what data particu- larly will be sought were enumer- ated today in a statement issued by the war department. They include effectiveness of smoke screens, alti- tude from which bombing planes should operat@in the face of hostile aircraft, effectiveness of bombing from such altitude, casualties to planes operating at various alti- number of small bombs or one or more larger ones, and the effect of battle conditions upon accuracy of bombing.
 Those who have special interests in the future of aviation and naval craft and those In the various branches of the army and navy in terested in broader way in the problems of national defense, the statement said, should avoid giving their individual conclusions or ere ating a further assumption of con- troversy at least until those charged with the studies to be made have given an opportunity to conclude that work.
 In the first attacks on the Virginia and New Jersey the aircraft will ap- proach at an altitude of 10000 feet, dropping to 5000 feet in the second approach and to 5000 feet for the third trial. Each flight will be made by seven Martin bombers, loaded with 2,000-pound T. N. T. bombs, 1,l00-pounders and others as small as 100 pounds.
 Experience to date. the statement said, has indicated that the most ef- fective altitude from which to bomb is between 2,000 and 5000 feet. Re- cent bombing practice has been con ducted, however. at attitudes between 6.0o0 and 15,O00 feet
 One of the main purposes in the present exercise Is to obtain data as to the most effective altitude from which proper accuracy can be ob- tained. If such an altitude can be determined it will serve as a basis for plans of aerial bombing in actual warfare. and also of the defensive measures which will be employed to protect the objective"

WONDER CITY" ISI DAVIS COMMENT
 ON BIRMINGHAM
tcontinued From Page one)

(Continued From Page One) made ready, or will some other na- tion get the work?
 T have heard the situation com pared to rival department stores. Would one store depend on the wagons and trucks of the other for the delivery of the sales 1t makes ? It would not. It would not be long before the store with the trucks got the other stores customers. That Is the same principle as letting another nation deliver our goods. If steel Is to be made at a profit 1t must have its own delivery.
 I'm indebted to my good friend Thompson, even if he Is a democrat, and there Is not much difference be- tween democrats and republicans these days when they sit down to cept over one question and, frankly, l sympathize with the democrats about that.
 Calls it Wonder City
 These big questions like the trou- pies of the shipping board that MT thompson has to wrestle with, make me glad I'm away from Washington for a while. I have had a delight full day in this wonder city. This morning I was looking out over the hiiis from Robert Jemison's beauti- ful home. What a transformation it was from what I had known here in 1893, over thirty years ago. I stood on Red mountain before, 1t took nearly half day to get up there then through the mud. We could count all the houses then in a few minutes. The growth of this city Is literally astonishing.
 And even as the city has grown so have the hills changed for the better. Low ceilings, breathless heat in those days. Today I saw great well lighted airy steel buildings, with cleandiness in evidence everywher three mon doing the work where fcrty did it before, and doing interesting, constructive, pleasant work.
 Talking about the heat, this eli mate discussion Is merely a mental attitude it Is much pleasanter here in summer than further north In the summer. You folks must forgive me if l wander here, I'm having a de- lightful day, I'm not trying to make a set speech, but just telling of the things In my mind as the thoughts present themselves.
 "A thought 1t may be we'll to leave with you in a comparison of the ouI PcOPlo WI Nieh shNoS of other nations. In America we work ,forty-eight and seventy-two hours a week; in Japan they work ninety: France a hundred; Germany two hundred a week. We need the tariff to protect us for we do not want the crowded little houses they have and the lack of improvements. T went through European steel mills six weeks ago and American mills here today; we have much to be proud of in America. I was one of the early men in the mills here; 1 know what the Improvements are. But steel and steel workers and steel manufacturing cities are not alone the representatives for the need of a tariff. Maybe l can give you clear CT view: did you know that Italy can grow, harvest, pack, ship and deliver fruit in New York for less money than 1t costs to pick 1t In Florida? We are very D<Ssperous when protected. Just think of the prosperity wA are having. and all of

insure him that struggle for exist ence shall not crowd out the things worth existing for"
 Just as President Harding stood in the forefront of the world seek CTS of a practical, workable method of securing peace among nations, he stood In the forefront of the work CTS for industrial peace at home. He realized that America, to lead the world to lasting peace, must find the means for insuring industrial peace in America-must set the world an example of a united, industrious. hap py, and prosperous nation. Through out his career he sought to press home the lesson that the place for settling industrial disputes Is around the council table where workers and employers sit down together on equal terms. He insisted that the, time to settle industrial disputes was before they reached the point of the em ployment of force. His teachings have borne fruit for today we are nearer industrial peace in America better proof of this can be found than in the work of the Division of Con- ciliat1on of the Department of La bor for the last year.
 "The services of the department comm issioners of conciliation have been called for in 534 cases durinfg the year, involving strikes or threat ended strikes. Of these 42S disputes have been adjusted or settled. In ad- dition ST disputes which were pend ing at the beginning of the year have been adjusted. Year by year ex- perience is demonstrating both to labor and management the fact that the best time to settle an indus trial dispute Is before 1t has come to the point of an appeal to force. A suspension of production In any industry today means loss to both employer and worker, a well as to the public which the industry serves, and the prosperity of the whole coun- try which Is ultimately based upon continuous production. l hope to live to see that Labor Day of the future when no American industry will all low any dispute between3 worker and employer to reach the strike stage with it's misery, sorrow and despair.

 New Era For Labor Reached.
 Here in the United States too we have reached a new era for labor the era of the educated workman. We have always prided ourselves on our American thirst for education, but within the past few years-since the great war-educated Americans have been turning more and more to the manual and mechanical trades. We are making progress away from the fetish of the White Collar Job. The patriotic impulses of the war. togeth- CT with the increased wages caused by war demands for production, taught many of our young men that

in the renks of manual labor they could find healthy employment al remunerative wages. Most of these young men were of the so-called ed ucated classes, and they brought to the field of manual labor an educa- tlonal standard which has been bear ing results, for the intelligent work men trained in his craft Is the best workman. for himself, for his em- ployer and for his community. That education which com pines the train ing of head and heart and hand Is the education which will elevate la bor to its proper place in the hu- man scale of things.
 Both employer and employe ir America are steady realizing the i'm portance of cooperation, are more and more convinced that they are partners In production. and that in- telligent working together offers the best results for both of them. As standards of intelligence among our workers improve they are reaching the point where they stand on a more nearly equal basis with the employer In their negotiations and in their daily life. Many causes are contrbut- ing to this better feeling between the workers who make industry pos sible and the men who manage in- dustry. Labor In many crafts has already established apprentice schools, where beginners may be trained in the trades, and where at the anne time, they may have their full share of academic instruction. Labor Is coming to know that the worker who can visualize his com pleted task, the carpenter who can see in the future the great building for which ne saws the board, is the worker who gets the most out of life in material and spiritual re- turns.
 President Harding's faith in the equality of worker and employer in industry, based on intelligent crafts manship and intelligent management was strikingly illustrated during the coal strike of 1922 when a mixed miners met with him at the White House. As he looked about him at the men who stood in a scattered group, he said. with that kindly smile of his, which endeared him to all who knew him: ia 9
