Critics Sting Gary;
 Forced On Defensive

New York, April 27.-The whir1- wind of protest against Judge Gary's immigration policy has forced him or the defensive for the first time in his career.
 He insists that he does not favor unrestricted immigration, and called newspaper reporters to his office that the ymight make public the glad tid- ings.
 The judge quoted from his steno- ing of the stel stockholders, in which he objected to the immigration law 'as passed" He insisted that these two words were overlooked by his critics
 The incident is significant. It shows the power of publicity and constant agitation. If Judge Gary was not stung by the criticisms, he would never invite newspaper men to his office to hear him explain. Under the law that he objects to, . check Is placed on unrestricted immi- grafton from the Balkans and south eastern Europe The quotas from western and nothern European coun- tries are yet unified, but Judge Gary is not interested in immigrants from these countries. They demand a iv- ing wage.
 The corporations want the quota from the cheap labor section in creased Of course, they do not want unrestricted immigration. All they want is a sufficient number to keep wages down and make possible ar army of strikebreakers.

Magnify Wage
 Rates So as to
 Conceal Profits

New York, April 27.-These are the days when financial writers pity steel trust stockholders, because labor "is getting all the cream.'
 It is stated that the average wage per employe in the steel trust in 1921 was S1,739, and in 1920 was S2,173.
 Against this claim Is the fact that the wage for unskilled labor in the trust mills in 1921 for a 1O-hour day was $4.O2, and in 1920 the rate for a lO-hour day was $502.
 On the basis of a 3OO-day workino year, which is most extravagant. these rates would mean an average for un- skilled labor in 1921 of $1,2O6 for a lO-hour day, and $1,5O6 for a 1O-hour day in 1920.
 Financial writers make no attempt tc adjust these facts with their claims of Sl739 and $2,1 3. They are depending on re1teratiOn to impress untruthfu state ments on the public mind.
 This system is shown by the Wall Street Journals statement that it is evident wage earners have received most of the benefits derived from expendi- lures of nearly $1,1OO,OOOOOO for new construction and addition of $40O,OOOOOC to working capital.'
 In other words, the trust has ""plowed back" into the business S1.OO.- OOOOOO of its profits. The workers have no claim against this increased valua- ton: Yet the Wall Street Journal assures workers they have received most of the benefits, when the record earnings for unskil1ed labor was $5.O2 for a IO-honr day in 1920
