Letter Carriers Snub
 Alleged Unionists

Washington, Nov. 24.-A group of postal clerks who are outside the trade union movement were handed a sharp snub by the convention of the National Association of Letter Car riers at Providence, when the dual or ganization forwarded greetings to the bona fde unionists.
 The isolates have repeatedly con demne dthe A. F. of L., with whom the letter carriers are affiliated, and the latter refused to exchange greet ings. Instead, they forwarded their fraternal we'll wishes to the National Association of Postal Clerks, also affiliated to the A. F. of L.
 Letter carriers reminded their CO., workers that the A. F. of L. has been of much assistance to them, and that while they and other trade union civil service employees are aided by the A. F. of L., the isolates are attempt ing to curry favor with certain gov ernment officials by condemning the trade union movement.
 "If these postal clerks want to ex- change fraternal greetings with us, they should go where they belong, to the A. F. of L." declared the letter carriers

U. s. Capital In Canada

Toronto, Ontario, Nov. 24.-While Canadian wage workers are urged to maintain trade unions, separate from workers in the United States, capital ists from the latter country continue to invest in the Dominion, according to figures issued by the Dominion bu- reau of statistics
 It is shown that the ownership of Canadian coal mines in 1920 had a stock value of approximately $I3o, 900, 1000, and of this $2o,ooo,ooo was held in the United States.
 In the coal fields of British Colum- bia United States holdings represent $I7,ooo,ooo Great Britains $I3,ooo, ,ooo and Canada's $8,ooo,oo.

BRITISH MINER .LAUDS UNITED STATES
 TRADE UNIONISM

Washington, Nov. .24-British la Dor and liberal newspapers received
 at A. F. of L. headquarters indicate that Frank Hodfes, secretary of the Miners Federation of Great Britain and fraternal delegate to the A. F. of L. convention at Portland from the British Trade Union Congress, is pro- foundly impressed by the American trade union movement.
 Writing to British newspapers from this side, MT. Hodges expresses the same admiration for American trade unionism that he did at the Portland convention, where he declared that British trade unionlSts would hence forth insist on a minimum wage, as IS done in America
 In Reynolds News, just received at A. F. of L. headquarters, MT. Hodges declares that the United States is prosperous because the trade unions have. resisted wage reductions and therefore retained their living stand ards. He is enthusiastic over the sue cess of the United Mine Workers of America
 Prosperity abounds, as compared with Europe. The standard of living among the workers is the highest l have ever seen," he writes. Yet with all this, only Is per cent. ot the prod ucts of the United States IS exported. What contrast between this and our own country.
 "The United States is prosperous because of high wages. Great Britain is in poverty because of low wages"

COAL OWNERS BENEFIT BY MINE
 WAFE BOOST

Philadelphia, Nov 24.-Anthracite coal owners are adding to their re- cent miners wage increase and pass ing the total amount on the public, Governor Pinchot informed the American Academy of Political and Social Science. He said that all the anthracite in America is found in this state, and that 10 railroad companies produce about three-fourths of it.
 "It is commonly believed that fnan- cial relations exist between these 10 railroad companies and some of the so-called independent operators" said Governor Pinchot
 "1n my opinion the whole combina- ton is hard-boiled monopoly whose prime interest in the public is that 1t 1 share the common belief that the railroad interests which so largely control anthracite from the mine to the coal bin help themselves to abun= dant profits as operators, take more profit as wholesalers, take still more in transportation, and in some cases take all they can get as retailers be- sides"
 The governor said that 58 cents per ton IS the maximum average increase in labor cost on domestic sizes" due to the 10 per cent. wage increase to the miners. Coal owners advanced their price as much as 90 cents ton, or 30 cents more than the average added cost, and few added more than $I per ton, he said.
 The cost of mining a ton of coal Is $40, and anthracite mined for $726 actually costs the consumer SIS, said J. J. Walsh, secretary of the state de- partment of mines, another speaker before the academy
 The state tax, which has aroused the criticism of other states, actually adds only nine. cents to the cost o1 each ton of coal Walsh added

A QUESTION.

Dear Mr. Editor:
 Can you tell me what it means? In the daily press the most loudly mention ed subject, after divorce cases and vol stead violations, seems to be about re- auctions of income taxes and the great benefit that will result for the man of moderate salary.
 A New York paper says: "The pub lie doesn't overlook anything so real and beautiful as money in the pocket. Is that to insinuate that the public is go- ing to vote for the party which is cleaiming to offer such wonderful leg islation
 Again, I read that the proposed cut in taxes will begin at incomes of $4,0OO and the saving to the man of $5,OOO yearly wage will be $2o.75. How many of the great majority of workers will be interested in the reduction on $5,0OO year-and how many of us would be- grudge the $2 75 if we had the rest of the five?
 CURIOUS QUEER.

LABOR SECRETARY
 WOULD ANNUL ALL
 ALIEN ENTRY LISTS
Deport All Who Fail to Become Citizens and Protect Other
 Workers, His Idea.

Annual registration of all aliens in the United States as long as they re-
 main unnaturalized, was proposed by ! Edward J. Henning, assistant secre- l tary of labor, speaking before the
 New York Academy of Political Sci ence in the Hotel Astor Without this enrolment, MT. Henning said,
 enforcement of immigration laws vir- tually IS impossible.
 MT. Henning advocated legislation compelling aliens who do not become citizens after a certain period to re- turn to their own countries. He rec Iall non-naturalizable immigrants, the selection of aliens on a basis of actual needs of this country and the depor- tation of immigration lawbreakers re- gardless of the time they have been in the United States.
 The elimination of present conflicts III authority due to piecemea1 legisla- tion IS essential, MT. Henning con tended. Among the measures helping to defeat immigration laws, he said, is the Seamen's Act, under the terms of which Orientals on shore leave deposit the required $500 bond and are seen no more. He said 100, o,ooo undesirables or barred immigrants enter the United States every year because of legal confusion.
 Magnus w. Alexander, managing director of the National Industrial Conference Board, said American in dustry will welcome an immigration program based on broad humanitar- ian grounds, but that the United States cannot, for the present, close it's doors to immigration, since the of ,e upon the operation and steady de- velopment of it's industries and the crux of industrial operation is ade- quate labor
 Looking broadly at the problem" Mr. Alexander said, we must bear in mind that we shall in time approach the saturation point in the need for and the assimilability of immigration. The statement would seem warranted therefore that the United States for her justihable protection, must pro- gresslvely restrict immigration at this saturation point IS approached and the available supply of the country's point is approached and the available supply of the country's resources per capita of population diminishes.
 "The time will come when, as a matter of self-preservation, the United States must be reserved for the benefit of her own residents America for Americans-and may even have to direct surplus popula ton into other countries"
 MT. Alexander proposed extension of the present per centum limit act expiring next June for a few years, with certain administrative changes to remove injustices and facilitate its operation; the appointment of an in vestigatory committee to report with in year on certain phases of the acts and determination of the na- tion's immigration needs through broader and better knowledge of the primary and collateral factors in the immigration problem.

Railway shares did not rally with

readily explained by the June traffic

the company had failed to cover
