 The pianist responded for several encores. After completion of one of his best known pieces, however, he applause was louder than ever.

LABOR TROUBLES
 GROWING FEWER Secretary Reports Mediation
 Plans More Successful

Washington, Dec. 10 R}-There is real hope for a reduction in the number Of labor controversies in American industry because the habit of Conciliating and mediating dis putes is growing stronger. Secretary Davis of the Labor Department. said today in his annual report.
 So Hong as enterprising men and women engaged in industry bend their energies toward advancement there. will be differences of opinion, he said, but with the principles of accepted year by year the nation is bound to see a great reduction in the number of disputes reaching a stage where stoppage of produc- ton occurs.
 Administration of the immigration laws, vested in the Labor Depart ment. during the past year was the most satisfactory since the adoption by Congress in 1921 of a limitation policy" Mir. Davis de- clared. Due in part to the station ingsof United States medical and Immigration inspectors abroad, the nunber of immigrants exclud after a long journey to this coun- try was reduced to a minimum.
 Thus there has been realized the second step toward the ideal of se- lected immigrants" the Secretary ] af inb tri,- to United States consular officers abroad a certain amount of discre- ton in the granting of visas where doubt arises as to the admssability of an intending immigrant was the first. The stationing of our immi- grafton and health officers abroad in the countries furnishing 90 per cent of the immigration is the sec ond. It is my opinion that third and final step in complete pro- cess of selecting immigration car be accomplished if Congress will put approve some method of priority in the granting of what are now refer to as non preference' quota visas. Of quota immigrants, on the ground of humanity. ] would provide for preferences to be issued to husbands, wives. and minor children of alien residents in the United States.
 ''Wives and unmarried children under IS years of a citizen of the United States are non quota imm1- grants under the act of 1924, which L. eI he h11f should be extended to include the husband of an American citizen and provision should he added permit ting the entrance, if the quota be exhausted, Of minor unmarried chtl- dren and dependent fathers and mothers of citizens of the United States"
 The Secretary repeated recom- mendations first made in 1925. that Congress allow the importation of special or skilled labor, under care sul restriction, when need exists in American industry. This expansion of the total immigration possible, he suggested, should be balanced off by empowering the president to shut off immigration entirely during periods of industrial depression in the United States.
 Never has the nation been in g situation more prosperous and con tented, Mir. Davis said.
 America is today the ricl,est country that has ever existed" he |

declared. The prosperity of Ameri. ica is one in which the American workers fully share The poor we still have with us. but hopeless pow erty except, perhaps. among the aged and infirm. is now almost un- known"

The hiking season is on. Enthusi- astic pedestrians have wide variety of Saturday and Sunday tours each week to stretch their legs, with lead CTS to show them the way over the country side. By subway, elevated or steam lines the city dwellers gather at specified points to begin their tramps that usually cover twelve to fifteen miles.

 Sales Of audaciously illustrated French magazines have tremendous ly increased this fall, according to one news dealer near the public H. brary.

 All that goes dressily to the thea ter by no means goes dressily to the night club later.

RESERVATIONS
IN SHOALS BILL
new OBJECTIVE
Coalition Rallies to Defeat
Proposed Safeguards
on Lease.
Bv United Press


WASHINGTON. March 2.-Senate
coalition forces rallied today to de-
feat amendments to the pending
Muscle Shoals concurrent resolution
offered by independents, which they
fear will nullifv the effectiveness
OF the measure II successful.
Senators Norris. Republican. Ne
braska; Smith, Democrat. South
Carolina; McKellar. Democrat, Ten
nessee. are framing n series of
reservations which would restrict
any lease negotiated by the Joint
congressional committee contem-
plated in tho resolution.
The amendments have one chief
purpose-to keep the $137,0 900
Government nitrate and power
plants at Muscle Shoals from falling
into tie hands of a big power of
fertilizer corporation.
The coalitionists contend these
restrictions would discourage any
prospective bidder and that unless
the Senate adopts the resolution
suggested by President Coolidge in
the same form as it passed the
House, there will be no time TO
negotiate q lease.
Both Indiana Senators Monday
virtually went on record to return
Muscle Shoals over to private inter
ests when they voted against a point
Of order made by Norris against the
resolution.

Belief that Indiana National

fields, at least until conditions are
more settled, was expressed today
to Governor Jackson and Adjutant
General William H. Kershner by a
group Of non-union mine operators,
headed by State Representative Wal
ter B. Korff, Evansville.
None of the conferees would di-
vulge the exact nature Of the dis
cussion. nor the names of Korff's
companions. Korff, however, did eX-
plain they were a bunch of oper-
ators who were beaten-up recently"
Detachments from several guard
outfits were ordered to the Wander
burg and Warrick County coal fields
a week ago when second attempt
of outside miners to "unionize" the
labor was anticipated.
