DUTCH PROTESTING
CLOSED u. S. DOORS
Claim Limited Quota Makes
Entrance to America Prac-
ticaIIy Impossible.
BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO,

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
AMSTERDAM, February 5.-Arrer
an interval of silence complaints ara
being heard again about the unfa-
vorable effects of the American immi-
grafton act, which virtually closes
the United States to Dutch emigrants.
The overpopulation of Holland is
a real menace, as the birth rate sur
passes the death rate by 14O 900
people and unemployment has reached
the figure of 100000 out of a total
population of 100000 people.
Quota Practically Closed.
Under the present law only 3,6O7
Hollanders are yearly admitted to the
United States. The maximum Is
reached almost Immediately at the
beginning of the fiscal year, so that
no more Dutch emigrants are allowed
in the United States during the year
Exemption is made for members of
certain learned professions and busi-
ness men.
But it is regretted here that the
young Dutchmen who desire to en-
ter the United States to work in the
Industries and banks for a few years
in order to familiariZe themselves
with American industry and banking
are not excluded from the operation
of the quota law On their return to
Holland they may become sales
agents for American products and
excellent promoters of American in
terests. In business circles it is
pointed out that it is still much
easier to find sales agents for Ger
man than for American products.
This writer has been told that
few Dutch-American organizations in
the United States are working to OBJ
tain a larger application of the
immigration law, especially as re-
CARDS the further development of
business scholarships.

ORDERS DYNAMITING
OF POTOMAC FISHPOTS
Maryland Game Warden Warns
Operators to Remove Them or
Suffer Consequences.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.


HAGERSTOwN, Md, February s.
Remove fishpots or they'll be dyna-
mited, was the warning issued to
operators of the fishpots in the Po-
tomac River by State Game Warden
e. Lee LeCompte and representatives
of the office of the attorney general,
who attended a mass meeting here
yesterday. The dynamiting will be-
gin just as soon as the weather per-
mits, unless some legal action is TAX
en- to restrain the State authorities.
lie Compte declared that the State
Legislature of 1924 directed him to
destroy the fishpots. An injunction to
restrain the State from destroying
the pots will likely be sought, it was
announced following the meeting.
The injunction will be asked on the
grounds that many years ago Mary
land and Virginia entered into an
agreement whereby neither State was
to pass Legislation affecting the Po-
tomac River unless both concurred.
This was not done in the case of the
legislation outlawing fishpots. The
Maryland Court Of Appeals has ruled
on the law requiring both States to
concur in laws affecting the Potomac
River that the law is binding.

Substitute teachers and janitors in
the public school system were granted
a so per cent increase in salary by
Board of Education at meeting
yesterday afternoon in the Franklin
School. The new wage scale becomes
effective today and will remain in
force until June 80, when a higher
scale probably will be adopted.
Elementary substitute teachers are
raised from $2.4O to 81 a day for the
first 80 days and from 81 to 81 for the
second 80 days. High school substi-
tute teachers will receive Sc day
for the first 80 days and $40 day for
the next 80 days. Corresponding in
creases were granted in all other
salary classes in both the educational
and custodial service.
In recommending the new pay
schedule Supt. Frank w. Ballou point
ed out that there has been a uniform
feeling among the school officers that
since the pay of the regular teachers
was increased through the new salary
legislation, the substitutes also
should be given higher remuneration.
The new scale, DR.. Ballou told the
board, probably will attract compe-
tent substitutes in the school service.
Later Raises Indicated.
At the expiration of the new scale
DR.. Ballou indicated that. a Still
higher rate of pay for the substitutes
would be recommended. In the mean
time, he said, school officers would
study the substitute pay schedules In
other cities.
The finance committee of the board
was authorized to appear before the
Senate appropriations committee and
urge the restoration of items elm
mated from the. school budget for the
next fiscal year by the House COM
mittee. These include salaries for
additional clerks and a $4,000 appro-
priation for night school and COM
munity center janitor service.
DR.. Ballou explained that the Bud
get Bureau allowed of the IL ad-
ditfonal clerks asked for in the school
estimates, and the House committee
cut the number down to 3. The
clerical situation is getting serious,
declared the superintendent. There
are two junior high school principals
without clerks, and some administra-
tive officers are forced to do clerical
work"
Cites Congress Action.
Unless the Senate committee. re-
stores the item of $4,000 to pay jan
itors for night work, DR.. Ballou en-
phasized that the community center
activities would have to be reduced

By tine Associated Press.


y NEW YORK. February 5.-Arthur
]. Baldwin, president of the National
Publishers Association, issued a
statement last night defending the
organizations recent action in pre-
senting to Chairman Borah of the
Senate foreign relations committee a
protest against a proposed export tax on
Canadian pulp wood. He also denied
a charge by Edward Beck, secretary
of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Asso-
citation, sponsors of the tax plan, that
American publishers were preparing
a propaganda campaign against the
proposal by "brandishing the bogey
of international hostility" The pub
fishers campaign, Baldwin said, was
due to a realization of the results
to magazine publishers in this coun-
try who undoubtedly would be forced
to absorb this tax by increased prices
of their paper" He also ridiculed
Canadian contentious that the pro-
posed tax was conservation measure.
Crown Owns Most.
Ninety per cent of Canada's forest
areas are crown lands, at present,
protected by an embargo, he said,
adding that the remaining available
10 per cent was divided between Ca
madam mills, Canadian farmers and
settlers, from Whom the Canadian
mills buy in open competition with
the American companies. and by sew
eral American companies.
"The farmers and settlers of Can
ada, who comprise the greater part of
the population, annually export to the
United States about two-thirds Of the
/, 900, 600 cords Of Canadian wood which
we use,": he said. "They are opposed to
the proposed embargo because they
would. be deprived of the United
States market if it were decreed. and
would not get as high a price for
their pulp wood, as they would be alb
solutely at the mercy of Canadian
mills, practically all Of whom have
