does not intend to haul each violator
into court as soon as the law has
been ignored, but instead will first
secure the names of the violators and

certain amounts of money by taking

you cannot take over Germany and re-

them and re-establish German credit"

MODIFICATION of the Immigration
AVA restriction law SO that the exist
Ing shortage of labor in the United
States may be relieved Is being strong
ly urged by the farm organizations and
the large Industries. which have joined
hands in the movement. On Thursday
the house committee on immigration
heard the proposals Of committee Of
the international Manufacturers assO-
citation, which were formulated In con-
sultation with agricultural leaders and
are backed by senator's and congress-
men from the leading industrial and
agricultural states. The committee
made these Recommendations:
l. That In fixing the quota Of esch.
nationality Of otherwise admissible
aliens under the present law. due re-
gard should be given to the ascer.
tained annual emigration from the
United State. Of persons Of such ma.
hOnality.
2. That the secretary Of labor shall
be authorized. upon the presentation to
him Of satisfactory evidence Of con-
tinuing shortage Of labor Of particu-
lar class or type. to admit otherwise
admissible aliens in excess Of the
quota until. In his judgment. such con-
dition Is improved.
8. That provision shall be made for
physical examination Of aliens at ports
OF smbarkation or where their pass
ports are vised except that such re-
Quirement shall be waived upon assur-
ances Of another government that sat.
isfact0ry examination has been made.
Organized labor, Of course, Is bitter.
" opposed to any such relaxation Of
the restrictions. holding that Increased
Immigration Of alien labor will result
In lower wages. Samuel Gompers says
there would he no labor shortage II the
Industries from which alien competi.
tion has driven native-born workers
would pay unskillei labor wages per.
m!tting an American standard Of liv-
Ing. 1t Is predicted that the house will
pass bin which provides for no mn.
teria1 relaxation and that the manufac.
turers and agricuturists will renew
their plea before the senate.
