IMMIGRATION

A LIVE ISSUE
Efforts to Admit More La
Dor Forecast in Judge
Gary's Speech.
SELECTION is URGED
u. 5. Chamber Of Com
merce Wants Increase
But With Protection.
SELECTION IS URGED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C., Apri; 19.-
Judge Elbert II. Gray's denunciation
of the present immigration law which
prevents European workingmen from
coming to American shores and reliev-
ing the labor shortage is the opening
gun in what may become much
more live issue in the next twelve
months in American politics than the
open shop" or the tariff.
The advance in wages granted by
the Steel Corporation, it is generally
agreed, was due in no small measure
to the competitive search for Ameri-
can labor. Mr.. Gary's view that the
present curb on immigration is zone
of the worst things economically. the
United States has ever done, is shared
by many business men and already
the United States Chamber of Com
merce is at work on a plan to per-
nit a flexible system of selection so
that able bodied workmen may be adj
mittcd without allowing n flood of i'm
migration and the attendant evils
which helped build up sentiment for
the present law.
Desirable From Labor's Viewpoint.
Organized labor has been back of
the policy of restricted immigration
for many years, arguing that protec-
ton to the American workmen against
competition of the foreigner was just
as essential for labor as for capital
which by means of the tariff shuts
out imports.

What to Eat and Why

Carbohydrates make up about
GO per cent of the average diet.
They produce heat and energy.
They are largely secured from the
grain and vegetable starches.
In the long, slow baking by
which Grape-Nuts is produced
from wheat and matted barley, the
grain starches are partially pre-
digested. They are changed to
"dextrins" and "maltose"-forms
of Carbohydrates so easy to di-
gest that they form the basis of
the most successful baby foods.
Many people have digestive
trouble caused by the food-starch
in its original form, but Grape
Nuts has been famous for a quar-
ter-century for its exceptional ease
of digestion, and assimilation. and

LAST OF MEXICAN
REBELS CORNERED
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Military Authorities Ex-
pect Capture of Only
Remaining Revolters.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, April 10.
Surrounded in a small chain of
mountains northeast of Camargo, Gen
eral Hernandez, last of the rebel
chieftains in Northern Mexico. is
making his final stand against fed
eral troops and his capture is expect
ed within a few hours, according to
military authorities.
Hernandez has 80 men and is in
hiding.
Hernandez revolted year ago.
following the death of two of his
sons at Santa Rosalia, and although
diligently pursued by federal troops
he has managed to keep away from
them and at the same time gathering
few followers.
So far as is known here, Hernandez
is the only rebel leader who did not
accept the amnesty offer of President
Obregon.

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRE
San Francisco Stages Parade and
Fire Prevention Demonstration.

San Francisco. Cal. April 10
Memories of the days when San
Francisco was shaken by an overly
rough seismic hand and swept by a
sea of flames from the Dolphins OF
the old East street docks to the Mi
narcts of Chinatown and the mansions
Of Mob Hill. were wildly revived
Wednesday, the seventeenth anniver-
sary of the disaster.
The parade that started from the
reconstructed East street. now known
as the Embarcardero, passed through
the heart of the city. which was also
the heaFt of the great fire area, with
its desert of dead walls, brick heaps
and ashes.
The browning event of the day was
the burning of the old schooner Min.
dOro in the bay as an exposition Of
fires quick dcstructiveness and an
argument for fire prevention.
