VIII Not Change
Immigration Law
Republicans Decide That
Law Cannot be En-
acted This Session

Washington, Feb. 23.-Although
witnesses representing many in
duStries urged the Senate Com
mittee on immigration today to
let down the bars to admit labor
from abroad. Republican leaders
decided, after conferences with
Senators and Representatives,
that no change shall be made by
this Congress in the restriction
law.
Senate leaders said that. ever
though the House passed the new
bill, based on , per cent of the
1890 census, as at present, the
Senate could not. under present
conditions in its chamber, enact
new immigration legislation. OPP
position to the changed basis and
exclusion of Japanese were issues
in the new bill which would make
its acceptance doubtful at any
time. and certainly it could not
be passed now with the fiiibuster
in progress, Senate leaders said.
Witnesses before the Senate
Committee on immigration to-
day argued that economic chaos
would follow if the present short
age in common labor continued
Fourteen representatives of az
many industries were among those
who sought to demonstrate that
there was a shortage of labor If
many of the great producing
states.
The testimony was in support

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Most SCI
ators' places are filled-many II
overflowing-by their successors
Some senator's are merely sue
ceeded.
Of the latter and much limiteC
class, John Sharp Williams, sena
tor from Mississippi, leads tho
dist of those leaving the Senate
on March 4.
Without sighting his successor
it can be said that John SHARP
Williams will leave a vacant place
in the Senate. He is an ''insti-
tuition" Anybody else viii hav,
as much room in his shoes as d
bat has in a church.
John Sharp is unique. He is q
"black swan" in a flock of ''lamt
ducks" He is quitting the senate
voluntarily.
Casting aside the coveted toga
unless called" by the people OF
death is rare enough, but his rea-
son for retiring is wholly origi-
nal. in his own words, Johr
Sharp. would rather be yellow
dog and bay at the moon than {
United States Senator"
His 80 years in Congress-le
in the House and II i'll the sen
ate-have been cramlned with
big events. but Williams whimsi.
cally insists that his biggest was
the dav he decided to quit. Al
that he gives the little caclIle
that goes for Il laugh and winks
roukish blue eye.
To say his passing from pub
lie life ends an era in American
politics is not bunk. That once
self-renewing institution-South-
ern statesmen $500 has reached the
end of its line. John Sharp is the
last aid there is none to take his
place.

the inflexible S-7per cent basis
and that the Secretary of Labor
have power to permit che admn1lss c
sion of immigrants in excess OF
the quota when such necessity is
made clear to meet certain III
dustrial requirements.
James A. Emery, gene.'al coun-
sci OF the National Association
| of Manufacturers, headed the
group of manufacturers heard
He told the committee the manu-
facturcrs were not opposed to
restriction" but did not believe
in prohibition" of immigration.
He said they did not maintain
that there was a general short
age of labor, but that there was
a decided shortage in certain in
dustries, which threatened in
dustry as whole.
Mr.. Emery testified that the
United States was dependent on
foreign labor for development;
that up to 1919 the average net
immigration had grown to some
thing more than $4,000 year;
but that the war reduced it to a
minimum, and there had been
only one year of considerable i'm
migration since. The inevitable
result, he said, was drain on
industries that could not be sup
piled from native channels and
had not been met through these
channels in many years.
R. c. Marshall, Jr., General
Manager of the Associated Gen
eral Contractors, testified that
there was an actual labor short
age in the construction industry,
and there would be need for
100000 more men than they were
going to have this spring"
Senator Colt. Chairman of the
Committee, asked if construction
was held back because of inabIl
ity to get labor, Mr.. Marshall said
that this was true, adding that
he had recently come from Los
Angeles, where 800 contractors
did not see how their program
for the spring could be carried
out.
II. NJ. Welch of the Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Company
IF Youngstown, Ohio, said there
was shortage of common la
Dor, not only in his particular
mills, but in the Youngstown
section generally, and that this
was reflected in the labor above
common. His plant now needed
800 laborers, and there was a
similar shortage throughout the
iron and steel industry.
Mr.. Welch said it was imprac-
ticable for the steel plants to use
unemployed miners, a sthe trans
portation expense was serious
drawback.
Some members of the commit
tee seemed to think that as the
steel industry had run full blast
during the war there should be
little trouble now in obtaining
labor for all jobs, but Mr.. Welch
replied that during the war
many so-called n0n-essential indus
tries were closed down and their
employees sought places in the
steel mills.
Asked by Senator Wills of
Ohio, what would happen if the
immigration bars were kept up.
the witness said the time would
soon come when people would quit
buying goods at the high prices
required to be asked because Of
high prices of production due to
an extent to high wages for cont
mon labor.
Senator King, of Utah, remark
ed that he was opposed to the

the increase of population due
to excess of births over deaths
has been calculated. This amount
has been corrected by adding the

grafton for each half year. As
a test, the population for June
so, 1910, has been estimated from
a smooth curve, and figures have
then been built up for each half
year until the census of 1920"

Continued fair weather has eimi-

Sugar company before the end Of the
regular campaign" Farmers are
now harvesting and hauling their su-
gar beets rapidly and the supply is
aecumulatin9 quickly. At some Of the
dumps the harvest season is nearing
completion and diminishing deliveries
are to be expected soon. 1t is estimat-
ed that the tonnage in the Sterling
district will be within a thousand Of
fifteen hundred tons of the 1922 pro-
duction, which was unusually large.
Some damage has been caused by
the cold weather to beets which have
been left on the ground during the
night and uncovered. For the most
part. however, the slicing Campaign"
is progressing nicely.-Sterling Even
