MODIFICATION of the immigration
lSl 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-
ciation, 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:
1. That in fixing the quota of each
nationality of otherwise admissible
aliens under the present law, due re-
gard should be given to the ascer-
tained annual emigration from the
United States of persons of such na-
tlonality.
.. That the secretary of labor shall
be authorized, upon the presentation to
him VI SolAoiaStoAy CNiucuSc VI u SoH,
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-
dltion Is improved.
3. That provision shall be made for
physical examination of aliens at ports
Of embarkation or where their pass.
ports are vised except that such re-
qulrement shall be waived upon assur-
ances of another government that sat
isfactory examination has been made.
Organized labor, of course. is bitter
ly 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 be no labor shortage IL the
industries from which allen competi-
tion has driven native-born workers
would pay unskilled labor wages per-
mlttIng an American standard of llv.
ing. 1t Is predicted that the house will
pass a bill which provides for no ma.
terial relaxation and that the manufac.

ID RESIDENT HARDING'S veto of
L the Bursum pension bill was de.
cided surprise to Senator Bursum, and
nearly everybody else. The measure
provided Increased pensions for veter-
ans of the Civil. Mexican and Indian
wars and their widows, for Civil war
nurses and for manned veterans of all
our wars. The President vetoed it
because, he said, 1t would cost the gov
ernment $10s,OOO,OO0 annually and set
a precedent entailing pension obllga-
tions of $4,000, 100000 in the next so
years.

ALBANY, N. Y. April 6.-The ac- ton of the Republican majority in the Assembly under the leadership of Speaker Machold in deciding to turn down Governor Smiths program in everything except his shorter ballot law which it was decided to change by leaving the Governor's term of office two years as at present. has caused a storm to rise over the state, and county leaders are asking Speak CT Machold 10 back up and permit the program to go through.
 Governor Smiths declaration that he would make a speaking campaign throughout the state to develop senti- ment in favor of his program, is be- lieved to be the cause for the furor. It is felt that such a tour would re- suit in smashing the Republican up- state machinery and give tho Demo csats an easy victory next year.
