| was not relieved until our industries
were stimulated by war orders from Eu-
rope In 1921, the last year before i'm
migration restrictions were fully applied,
eos 900 aliens landed on our shores.
Even under the restrictions now in effect
more than 100000 immigrants entered
| the United States In the year ended
June 30, 1929. Sixty thousand Of these
came from Mexico alone. Restriction Of
| immigration involves delicate problems
of foreign relations, as well as serious
domestic issues. Mr.. Hoover bore out
the need of continuation Of this policy
| in his Newark speech.
Progress has been made in finding
Just means of adiudicating disputes be-
tween employees and employers. More
| than 1900 such disputes. involving
| 800 900 workers, were reported in 1916.
Less than 400 were reported in 1927,
with fewer than 100000 workers af-
| fected. This is a remarkable showing,
and the next four years should witness
a continuation of the efforts OF Federal
agencies to bring about Industrial con-
Citation. To remove the causes, to bring
about mutually satisfactory. peaceful
settlements of controversies between
workers and employers is problem of
first magnitude for labor, capital and
the Government.
Foreign industrial development and
reparation payments, war debts to
America, competition in naval arn1a-
ment, European industrial combinations
to meet American competition-all these
are problems that affect the workers OF
America no less than their employers
The economic conditions of the world

Want Steady Employment.
The men and women generally who
constitute labor have no desire to anlass
great wealth. Their desire is for steady
and reasonably profitable employment.
for security, for equality of opportunity
for themselves and their children. for
the means to give their boys and girls a
proper home and an adequate education.
The desire of labor is not for a full din
ner pail or mere living wage. but for
saving wa2e-that they may provide
for their Old age
Labor eXacts no promises from the
candidates except that it may be dealt
with impartially, fairly and Justly.
And the votes of the workers of Amer
ica--men and women alike-will be in
f1uenced i'll November not by promises
or glib phrases but by study of the con-
oltlons and problems confronting the
Nation and deliberate judgment as to
which OF the candidates is best qualified

economic stress and strain.

convinced.

The cloud settled over the suburb

'The japanese memorandum (on

said. While we are militarily pre-

Stewart Must
Stand Trial On
Contempt Charge

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Rob-
crt w. Stewart, chairman of the
STANDARD Oil 60. Of Indiana, lost to.
day his attempt to nullify the SEN
ate contempt Indictment against
him. He must go on trial here lat
ef.
Justice f. l.. Siddons in District
of Columbia supreme court upheld
n government demurrer to Stew
arts "plea in bar" against the
Indictment.
Stewart contended primarily i'll
his plea that he purged himself of
the contempt charge by a later APP
pearance before the senate Teapot
Dome committee, at which he testi-
fled fully and answered all the
questions he previously refused to
answer.
The government contended that
Stewart s testimony in April was
not given until after he was indict-
cd; that his action in "squaring
himself' with the senate committee
could not settle his account with the
law which demanded punishment
for his recalcitrance at his Febru-
ary appearance before the senate
committee.
If convicted, Stewart must serve
from one month to one year in Jail.
