PRESIDENT SIGNS
EXCLUSION BILL
Puts Alien Quotas on z Per
Cent Basis of 1890
Figures.

Washington President Coolidge
signed the Johnson immigration bill,
which includes the provision barring
japanese after July l. Though there
was vigorous opposition against his
signature, the President decided to
sign the measure despite the Jap
anese provision, the only controversial
feature of the bill.
1t was pointed out at the White
House that inasmuch as the present
immigration law expires June 80, a
veto might have made it necessary to
rush through an emergency measure
in the closing hours of the session.
Cites Eligibles for Entrance.
The President felt that such a step
would not be practicable, in view of
the tangled legislative situation and
the certainty that an emergency bill
would be beset by many attempts at
amendment and perhaps might be
blocked altogether.
Following his signature of the bill.
President Coolidge made public a
statement expressing his position on
the immigration provision and espe-
cially on the Japanese exclusion pro-
vision. This statement follows:
"In signing this bill, which in its
main features l heartily approve,
regret the impossibility of severing
from it the exclusion provision which,
in the light of existing law, affects
especially the Japanese.
Still Admires Japs.
IT gladly recognize that the enact
ment of this provision does not imply
any change in our sentiment of adj
miration and cordial friendship for the
Japanese people, a sentiment which
has had and win continue to have
abundant manifestation"

This Valleys Turkey Indus
try Breaks all Previous
Records
TWO LOCAL FIRMS
SHIP THOUSANDS
Many Birds Shipped in Oc-
tober for Thanksgiving
Dinners in Alaska

Kennewick turkey will be the chief
attraction on the Thanksgiving din
ner tables in thousands of homes In
the Pacific Northwest today.
The turkey industry which has been
rapidly growing in this district in
recent years, has broken all previous
records this year and shipments for
the Thanksgiving trade are estimated
at carload or more than two thous-
and birds. Most of the shipments have
been made TO Seattle and Spokane
but about 5000 pounds of dressed
turkeys were shipped TO Alaska in
October.
While it is impossible to get DELI
mite data on how many turkeys have
been shipped from here, two firms
alone, the Columbia Valley Produce
company and Price & Lincoln have
shipped nearly twenty thousand
pounds of dressed turkeys. Robert
Mackie, manager of the Columbia
company, said a shipment of ton
of choice birds by express Tuesday
evening brought the total shipments
of his company 10 approximately
10000 pounds.
In the last two weeks Price a
Lincoln have shipped 5000 pounds
of dressed turkeys, 900 pounds Of
dressed geese, and 1850 pounds Of
live poultry. In October they ship
ped 2700 pounds of turkeys to Alas
laa.
In addition to the business handled
by these two firms, the breeders Of
larger flocks have shipped many birds
direct.
Although the volume of business
has been larger this year, turkey
raisers complain that profits are be-
low normal. Prices for dressed birds
have ranged between "a and 20 cents.
These prices, flock owners claim, are
exceptionally low compared to the
high price of grain.
1t is not known what percentage
of the turkey crop has been held over
for Christmas trade. Owing to. the
high price of feed it is probable that
a larger percentage have been shipped
than in former years. Mr.. MaclSie
said today that if the turkeys are
to be had his company will load out
full car of Christmas birds for
the eastern market.
