NEW INVESTMENTS
Headquarters Company Is Alp preaching It's Maximum
 Strength.

Captain J. J AcGarry of Putnam Headauartefs Company announces the enlistment uf i've recruits during the past two weeks and q number more are expected Al no time since the company was organized has t been below minimum strength but there is still chance for number of new enlistments to bring the outfit up to maximum.
 It is we'll known that Putnam is under consideration as q site for a state armory. Such a building would be credit to the city. In order to secure it, those interested have been told. the company must be an active one with officers and men striving to make it one of the best in the state.
 Putnam is fortunate in having a Headquarters Company. IL IS the type of company that officers through out the state covet. It does not en- tail musketry or gun drill and the work is not as mechanical, is more diversified and more interesting than the ordinary infantry company as the members are assigned Go headquarters in various lines of duty.
 The company affords excellent training for young men and teaches discipline and affords training for the life of soldier in peace and war The local company since it's first sum mer in camp at Mantle, has been com plimented and commended for the ez cellence of it's personnel and depor.. meHt by high ranking officers.

great employers of the country want
immigrant workers. That we have to
bear in mind.
Our organization is particularly in
terested in this great question, for in
addition to our very sincere and real
interest as citizens, we have the in
terest of men who are menaced in
their own trade. 1t will be no news to
you that our own trade is menaced,
particularly in the border cities. The
menace does not stop at the border or
in the border cities, because an illegal
entrant may as easily be found in Chi
cago or st. Louis or New York city
as Immediately this side of the border.
Just at the present there is more
or less critical situation relating to
Canada. Our department. of labor
has decreed that the provisions of the
1924 immigration act are to become
effective. Many complications are
arising out of this act and | shall not
undertake to discuss the details of the
law. However, it places natural born
citizens of Canada in one category and
naturalized citizens in another cate
CORY. Natural born citizens may en-
ter freely, but naturalized citizens can
enter only under the quota as it ap-
plies to the country of their origin.
Canada protests against this discrim-
ination, and perhaps rightly. 1t is
pointed out that the United States de-
mands the same consideration for ma
turalized citizens that it demands for
mits that we have the right to i'm
mits that we have teh right to i'm
pose any conditions we may see fit
to impose, but it protests that these
conditions are unfair.
There Is only this conclusion: BY
whatever means may be necessary, we
in the United States will protect the
standards that we have, built up by
long and arduous effort. We will pro-
tect these standards against every on
slaught, whether from the reactionary
forces within our country, or from the
workers who come illegally from
other countries to play the part of
pawns in our industrial conflict.

NATION MUST
STOP BOOTLEG
IMMIGRATION
By WILLIAM J. BOWEN

President, International Union
of Bricklayers, Masons and Plasterers
immigration problems are not new
to the United States, but, having i'm
posed drastic and necessary restric-
tions upon immigration direct from
overseas, we have had thrust upon us
an immigration problem similar to
that which has developed out of the
Vostead act-a bootlegging problem.
The matter of bootleg immigration
is the more serious and difficult to deal
with, since it is traffic in violation
of law and therefore under cover.
Since the restrictions upon Euro
pean immigration became effective
nationals of certain European nations
have in large numbers found ways to
enter the United States over our
northern and our southern borders in
violation of law. Our border author
tiles have seemed unable to prevent
this unlawful influx which has been in
such volume that the secretary of
labor believes there are fully on mil
lion illegal entrants now in this coun-
try.
BY our laws we have seen to it that
there shall not be legal entry for
great numbers of immigrants brought
or lured to our shores to enter into
competition against our standards of
work and wages, and we do not in
tend that bootleg immigration shall
do that which legal immigration may
no longer do. If present laws are not
strong enough or do not provide ma
chinery enough to prevent illegal I'M
migration, then we must demand leg
islation that will accomplish the end
sought.
So far as Mexico is concerned, the
labor movement of that country and
the labor movement of our own coun-
providing for voluntary restriction of
migration and asking that this agree
ment be enacted into law in both
countries. If this agreement can be
written into law it seems fair to ex-
pect that it will serve to curb the
movement of the nationals directly
involved. Perhaps the same principle
might be applied between the United
States and Canada. That, however,
does not seem to reach the bootleg
ging of European immigrants across
the borders of these two countries.
I think we should have the co-opera-
tion of both Canada and Mexico in
stopping the violation of our laws via
their frontiers.
No illicit traffic is easy to stop. We
have not stopped the drug traffic and
the traffic in forbidden liquor seems
to grow rather than to decrease. But
there is more hope of curtailing the
illicit traffic in immigrants, partly be-
cause of the greater difficulty in con-
cealing human beings.
| am persuaded that our immigra
ton authorities have not exhausted
their resources and ingenuity in the
direction of stopping this menacing
stream. Those authorities should be
charged with the task of stopping that
stream and they should be held ac-
countable for fulfillment of their obli-
cation, or relieved from office. Let me
say that if the effort to stop bootleg
immigration were one-tenth as vigor-
Gus as is the effort to stop bootleg
liquor, there would be no million il
legal immigrants now in our coun-
try, nor would there be half that
number.
Let me tell you the reason: The
