lished whether or not the applicant
would be admitted 1t is the opinion
of Mrs. Crichton that if there is any
change in immigration legislation, it
should be in the direction of tighten
ing rather than relaxing require
mentS.
Labor From the South
This is taken to reveal accurately
the tendency toward the immigration
problem. For this reason many iron
and steel manufacturers and other en-
ployers have reached the point where
they no longer are depending upon
immigration from Europe as a source
of any great labor supply"
"This already has caused them to
turn to Canada, to which country the
immigration law does not apply and
also to the negroes of the South and
to MeXicans. From these sources the
iron and steel industry has to depend
mostly on negro and Mexican labor,
and there now has developed large
influx of these classes in the iron and
steel plants.
"Curiously enough this class of la
Dor, either native to the United States
or at its threshold, is not as well
understood by the iron and steel man
ufacturer of the North as is Euro
pean labor 1t is realized that this
understanding involves social study
as to the characteristics of the negro
and the Mexican, and that before such
labor can be brought up to the highest
point of efficiency this understanding
is necessary.
Belief is expressed that these
sources will prove to be progressively
more important as sources of labor
supply to it as time goes on and yet
there are those who are inclined to
think that both the negro and the
Mexican will, unless understood and
made satisfied in employment in the
North, drift back to the South and
Southwest There has been great
deal of talk, but so far it has never
gone beyond that stage, of ironing out
the cycle of employment in the coal
industry so that the number of en-
ployees engaged can be reduced and
the surplus placed in the iron and
steel and other industries.
"The iron and steel industry, also,
of course, is constantly increasing
mechanical efficiency and changing
methods of compensation. These
exertions on the part of the iron and
steel industry manifestly have been
due in large part at least to an anti
cipation that immigration laws not
only will not be relaxed but will be
tghtened."

C. C. Hine, general counsel of the
Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville
railroad, stated to the commission:
"The same causes which render it
impossible to ascertain original cost
make it impossible to estimate costs
as of the date of installation. In
many cases an effort to do so would
result in wilder guesses than the fur
thest fight of fancy has ever carried
the most imaginative and ardent ad-
vocate of the unlimited production
cost estimate. To apply the theory
of estimated cost as of the date of
installation or historical reproduction
cost, it is a prerequisite that the date
of installation be determined. In the
absence of records, this is impossible.
Divers SUBSTITUTES have been sug
gested. Carefully worded, they pre-
sent specifically pleasing appear
ance. They are catchy slogans.
stripped to fact by any attempt to
apply them to a large railway system
built by piecemeal through several
decades, they are reduced to absurdi
ties"

out that injustices and Inconsistencies
arising from imperfect administration
should, if possible, be avoided in the
future and went on to say that the
state department and department of
labor do not work in harmony. II
urged more careful selection through
the issue of passport vises.
The report on these points appears
to accord with recommendations of
Secretary of Labor Davis, who now is
abroad studying immigration law and
with the report just made to the de-
partment of labor by Mrs. Muriel
Lynch Crichton, who was sent to Fin
rope by Secretary Davis to study de-
tails there. 1t is reported here that
Secretary Davis since his arrival in
Europe has become even more firmly
convinced than ever that the process
OF selection of immigrants to the
United States should originate with
American authorities abroad THROUGH
vises of American consuls, rather
than permitting foreign governments
to permit indiscriminate emigration
from their countries.
Keeping Out Undesirables
Mrs. Crichton in her report made
recommendations that are known to
meet with the approval of Secretary
Davis and which he is expected to at
tempt to have Incorporated in law at
the next session of congress. She said
that there must be a selective method
OF admitting immigrants to the United
States to keep out great many unde-
slrables who could enter under the
present quota plan of admission. She
goes SO far to say that it appears as
social inadequates to the United States
II some governments are sending their
to avoid their custodial care
THE present method of selection is
also held to invite immigrants of a
lower plane of intelligence than S
necessary to American citizenship.
She also points out that too often
passports are vised abroad only to
have the alien denied admission at
Ellis Island. The result is a hard
ship on all concerned.
Mrs. Crichton favors the setting
up of clearing house abroad and
suggests that it might be established
at London, where all passports could
be vised and the fact definitely estab-

STANDS GUARD IN RIVER
"SoIdier Of tho Bronx" In Faded
Blue, Has Kept Thirty
Year Vigil.

South Of the new bridge that spans
the Bronx river at Gun Hill road, the
Soldier of the Bronx still maintains
the solitary vigil in the river. If the
inscription Of 1893 on his pedestal is
authentic he has been on duty 80
years. The blue has almost faded
from his military cloak, leaving bare
the graying wood.
The figure is a life-siZe replica OF
Civil war soldier. It stands on
stone pedestal in the shallow waters
Of the Bronx river. The stream is
narrow at the spot and one can ap-
proach close to the statue from either
bank.
Speculation as to the reason for the
statues existence and position in the
river has given rise to several
legends. Probably there Is bit of
truth In each. According to one ac-
count a wood carver who lived in a
cottage with rear garden extending to
the waters edge set the statue in the
river as a distinctive touch to mark
his place.
Whatever his origin the Soldier OF
the Bronx stands In the river through
time and the works of the parkway
commission have changed the section
roundabout. The weather has rough
ened his contours a bit, but neverthe-
less he remains at his solitary post

far back as the time when that great

all the gift of his eloquence and
scholarship over All Souls patriotic
and influential congregation.
Brooklyn, too, had Unitarian

dition to its regular name, as the

pellation unquestionably bestowed on
it on account Of the squatty look Of
