WOULD GO BACK TO 1890
 CENSUS AS BASIS FOR NEW
 IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION iEugenics Body's Report Would Cut Out Cheap Labor' Entirely and Provide Careful Selection of Aliens in Future

Westen Europeans or Of ac1al nter1ority of southeastern Europeans. It IS simply question as to which of these two groups of aliens as a whole is better fitted by traditions, political background, customs, social organization, education and habits of thought to adjust itself to American institutions and to American economic and social conditions; to be- come III short, an adaptable, homogene- ous and helpful element in our A1neri- can national life. As President Coolidge terse1y expressed it in his recent mes sage to Congress: America must be kept American
 "A percentage limitation based on the census of 1890 would not only reduce the inflow of unskilled cheap labor, but would also greatly reduce the num- Der of immigrants of the lower grades of intelligence and of immigrants who are making excessive contribution to our feeble-rninded, insane, criminal and other socially inadequate classes. The original argument in favor of the percentage law was economic. The fundamental reason for its continuance is biological"
 The report finds that large percent age of all bonded aliens have violated and forfeited their bonds and are in the United States, some in public institu- tions, some supported by public or pri- vate charity; most of them at large, a social menace because, mentally defec- tive in many instances, they produce men tally inferior children Only in rare ca ses, says the report, should aliens be admitted over the heads of the medical examiners and they should be required to post a heavy cash bond. The present paper bonding system has. according to the report, worked inca1culable injury to the population.

INDUSTRY MUST GOVERN ITS OWN
 COURSE

truly patriotic duty and an essential eco. homie and social work.
 While organized labor is struggling for equal opportunity with all other in dustrial factors and forces and IS de- manding its proportionate share in the rewards that come by joint industrial enterprise, 1t also views with consider able apprehension, the constant tendency of political government to intrude itself upon our industrial life and altogether too often on matters purely economic and industrial and in which field 1t IS not competent to function. History demon strates that economic laws and develop ments go on in spite of the dictum of political government and that economic laws are stronger than political laws. An unbiased study of our economic ternpts of political government to regu- late them will lead to the inevitable con- clusion that economic laws and tenden- cies, spring from the understanding as- pirations and needs of the people; that they are subject to constant change and follow channels that may not receive the ready sanction and approval of poli- tical government They are not subject to the whins of political government. They are subject to the forces, powers
 and influences underlying the growth of our 0COHOIIllC dHQ IIlQuStr1dl ll1e.
 It is labor's hope that all factors with i'll industry will recognize the importance of this fundamental truth and respond to 1t. It is hoped that ultimately there will come into existence an economic and industrial chamber, in which all fac
 tors in industry will be fairly represent ed, and which will determine the rules and regulations that industry will inn
 pose upon themselves, thus confning political government to the special func- tions for which 1t is best qualified and best suited By such an arrangement
 associated capital and organized labor will be enabled to work out the rules and regulations of industry based upon and intimate understanding and knowledge of
 industrial facts and develop industrial and economic principles which will serve to direct the whole of our industrial and commercial activities into channels where the ultimate goal will be one of service to all mankind rather than as now-mere individual selhshness and material gain

The report of the committee on re- 1ective immigration of the eugenics com mittee of the United States of America,
 made public this week, says the two essential and fundamental principles which should be recognized ill future inn
 migration legislation are numerical linn
 itation and careful selection within the
 established limits.
 We should have percentage 1inita-
 tion," says the report, "absed on the
 census of 1890 and some form of over
 seas inspection. A definite numerical li- imitation has been long advocated by au-
 thorities on immigration. The convic-
 ton that the census of 1890 should be
 used as the basis of any percentage law
 has been growing rapidly all over the country.
 "Since there wer fewer southeastern Europeans here in 1890 than in 1910, percentage provision based on the for mer census would decidedly cut down the number of such immigrants. This provi- sion would change the character of inn migration, and hence of our future popu- I lation, by bringing about preponder- ance of immigration of the stock which
 originally settled this country.
 "On the whole, immigration from I northwestern Europe furnish us the best
 material for American citizenship and for the future upbuilding of the .Ameri-
 can race They have higher living stan | dards than the bulk of the immigrants from other lands, average higher in in te1ligence, are better educated, more skilled, and are on the whole better able to understand, appreciate and support our ! fom of government.
 "A percentage limitation based on the 1'o0 census is sound American policy based on historical facts. It is not here a question of racial superiority of north.

LABOR TO TAKE
 OVER CONTROL OF
 ENGLAND JAN. Y
Baldwin Falls With Cabinet On First Occasion Advance Date of Dust
 ing Has Been Set.

London, Jan 12-The coming week will see the reopening of Parliament un- der the strange and unique circu1nstan- ces of a settled date upon when the Bald win government will suffer defeat and resign in order to make way for Great Britain's first labor government.
 This IS the plan proclaimed by the Governments opponents, and since the complete collapse of the recen, attempt to engineer a combination of the parties to keep labor out" there seems no req son why it should not be executed. But to look beyond January 17, the date fix ed for the demise of the Government and predict what is likely to happen once the Labor Government is i'll power would puzzle the most astute of the political prophets.
 Parliament reassemble Tuesday to re- elect a speaker and to swear in the mem bers. These formalities occupy the en- tire week. The actual opening of Par liament by King George will be on Tues day, January 15
 The Kings speech having been read debate as usual, will proceed on the ad- dress will be moved January 16, in some way recording lack of confidence in the Government. This will be debated for two days and on divison being taken Thursday night, January Y, the amend. ment will be supported by the Labor anc Liberal vote and the Government will be defeated.
 Thereupon the Government will resign and the way will be opened for the King to summon the Labor leader, J. Ramsay Macdonald, who heads the next largest party in Parliament, to form ministry Mr. Macdonald, it is reported, has the list of his Cabinet members completed in which case there will be no delay 1T submitting the names of the new admin istration for the Kings approval. Parliament then probably will be ad- journed for ten days or a fortnight 1T order to allow the new Government time to prepare itself to meet the House Ali ter this, it IS considered that anything may happen. No one in political circles is prepared to predict that Macdonald administration would last long enough to present the budget to the House i'll April But If 1t does exist that long, it is gen. orally assumed it will adopt the budget with only slight notifications from the budget already practically prepared by the present Government, because there will be insu cient time to make funda- mental changes. It is considered that whatever the new Government may pro- pose in the way of minor changes they will chiefly concern social matters.

With the dawning of the present in dustrial order-having formed its in ception Ill the discovery and develop ment of the power of steam. followed by the discovery of other natural powers and forces subject to human direction and manipulation-there has come the urgent need of a readjust1nent of eco homie principles underlying our present industrial fabric and social organism.
 The discovery of these natural forces and the putting them to use to serve development of the factory system of production but impelled the creation of large industrial and commercial orga- nizat1ons commonly known as corporate enterprises These corporate enterprises have grown from small combinations into gigantic and powerful organizations which, in the eyes of the law, are recog nized as a person despite the fact that this man-reated person is vested with powers greater than those given to man b his Creator.
 This artificial, industrial and commer- cia1 person has grown to such immensi- ties that all former economic concepts and legal principles, intended for the safeguarding of freedom, equal oppor- turlity and mutuality of industrial rela- I1OuSIl1p Have DS6I swept dS1uG. oH1y the form and not the substance remains.
 The American wage earners and the American Trade Union movement do not seek the destruction of the develop merlt of collective production or of group or corporate enterprise neither do they hope to destroy the concept of private property and the device of free dom of freedom of contract as instru- mer1tai1tIeS to promote DrOQreSS en- courage individual initiatives, simulate personal adventure and safeguard the prncip1es of freedom and liberty. Labor does hold, however. that unless like form of organization is developed and encouraged on the part of the wage ear- ners, who cannot deal effectual1y as in dividual workers with corporate enter prise-that these instrumentalities for freedom will become weapons for eco homie oppression and enslavement Hence the necessity for trade unionism and collective bargaining. In furthering this collective power of the workers the trade union movement IS performing a

WHEAT SUFFERS SHARP SETBACK
Besrish Crop Estimates Send Grain Prices
 Downward

CHICAGO, July 22.-Wheat under ment a sharp setback in price today, in fluenced by rains over spring crop terri tory and by bearish estimates of the domestic winter crop yield. Closing quo tations on wheat were unsettled, 1 7-S to 2 1-2 cent lower, September 1.23 1-4 to 1.23 1-2 and December 1.26 1-4 to 1.26 1-2. Corn finished 2 1-4 to,3 cents down, ,,oats 7-S to l 1-2 off and pro- visions varying from p cents decline to 5 cent advance.
 Selling of wheat was general, but houses with eastern connections were re- sponsible for the chief share, some of the selling more over appeared to be of an unwilling character, necessary to stop losses. The fact that further bene- ficial moisture was reported from Mon tana, North Dakota and Minpesota as we'll as from Manitoba and Alberta did a good deal to start prices downward, and it appeared later that much of the eastern selling was based on unofficial figures suggesting that the winter crop in eight central western states would total 37 100000 bushels more than was indicated by the government report last month.
 Apparent absence of export business in wheat was a depressing factor and counted largely as an offset to rallies based on strength in sterling and on optimistic advices as to likelihood of settlement of difficulties about military occupation of the Ruhr. Announcement that France would raise the import duty on wheat was likewise a counterbalance to bullish crop new information. Re ports from the southwest continued ib- eral. Warmer weather pulled down corn. Rural selling was persistent, and shipping demand here lacked vigor. Oats followed corn.
 With hogs at the highest price since 1923, provisions reached new top for the season but later weakened with grain.

FEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July 22-Active ngtrading, wide fluctuations and indica- tions of broader participation of the outside public characterized the cot ton market today. Considerable early gains were all cancelled later in the session and a moderate net loss was established, but the tone at the close was steady. The July position was not influenced by the reactions in new crop months but remained strong to the end, advancing from an early low at 2S.40c to 28.77c and closing at 28.7Oc, or 30 points net higher for the day. New crop months after easing of 9 to 10 points at the start, advanced rapidly on heavy buying until October trading up to 27.17c and December to 26.92c, or 61 and 55 points, respectively, above the previous close. Later October traded down to 26.44c and December to 26.25c, or 67 to 73 points down from the high of the morning and 12 points below the previous close. There was q moderate rally in the late trading and the close showed net losses of only to points for the day.
 The advance during the morning was due to absence or rain news from Texas, a generally dry weather map,
 
 optiwistic news from London as to the progress of the allied conference over the Dawes plan of settlement of German separations. The subsequent reaction was due to private and official reports of rain in northern Texas and in Oklahoma, Quanah, Texas reporting more than 5 inches of rainfall. It was also reported that English and Amer ican bankers had notified the London conference that they would not at- tempt to float big German loan with out stronger guarantees than the confer ence seemed disposed to offer. This new helped the reaction.
 There was heavy buying during the mornings advance boh by large opera tors and the outside speculative public and liquidation of some of this buy ing helped the later decline.

WEATHER HALTS
 COTTON ADVANCE
Better News Causes IT, regularity In New
 York Markets

NEW YORK, JuA 22.--After the big advance in cotton on Monday as a result of the sensationally bullish gov ernment report prices today showed an irregularity that was partly due to bet ter weather news from the southwest. At one time the market showed sub stantial advances, excedeing the high levels reached the previous, day, but they were no sustained owning to ac- tive selling which developed in the aft ernoon.
 The market opened steady with July 3S points higher and other months 15 points lower to one point higher. Throughout the day July led the ad- vances, selling up to B cents and was relatively strong in late trading, also on price-fixing by the trade in contrast to heaviness in new crop positions. The latter soon after the opening, develop ed good deal of strength, Iduring which October advanced to N.Sc and December to 27.00c or 49 to 52 points above the previous close.
 Buying was of much the same char acter as on Monday and for 2 time the market seemed to be headed toward much higher prices. Its dependence on weather news was emphasized in the afternoon. however, when reports of good rains in West Texas brought about selling movement which quick ly weakened October contracts to 27.21c and December to 26.35c, the market closing barely steady, with July g points higher and others unchanged to net lower. In contrast to steadiness in cotton goods circles here cables said that business in Manchester was de- moralized because of the low condition figures and that most sellers there had withdrawn quotations while buyers were looking on.
