By RALPH F. COUCH

Washington, D. C.-Immigration
has added more than 100000 to the
population of the United States since
1920, according to newest figures Of
the United States immigration serv-
ice. This is the approximate number
by which aliens entering the country
in that time exceed those who de-
parted. These figures are of especial
interest at this time, as a demand
for more restriction on immigration
will come before the A. f. of l.. con-
vention at Toronto.
In the same period it is estimated
the total population of the country
increased by about 100000.
The net population increase by ad-
mission of aliens in the government s
fiscal year 1929 is placed at 226,800.
This is practically the same number
as in 1923, but only one-third as many
as in 1928, the year before the pres
ent immigration restriction laws took
effect. In the rush of that year $780,
600 more aliens entered the United
States than returned to their own
lands.
How the influx of aliens in recent
years has affected the population of
this country appears from the follow
ing table, which gives immigration
less emigrants by fiscal years:

BUILDERS WORKERS
In Chicago Hope For 5-Day
Week by Next Summer

Chicago (ILNS)-It is the hope of
building tradesmen here that the
fve-day week in their industry will
be an accomplished fact by next sum-
mer, said j. j. Conroy, secretary of
the Chicago Building Trades Coun-
eli, in an interview with Interna-
tional Labor News Service.
The matter has been receiving Sc
rious consideration by the contrac-
tors, as well as by all of the build
ing trades unions Conferences be-
tween representatives of the employ
ers and officers of the Building
Trades Council, of which p j Sulli-
van, of Electrical Workers Union No.
134 is the president, laready have
been held looking toward an arrange
ment whereby the five-day week may
be inaugurated throughout the indus
try in this city. Other conferences
are to follow during the coming win
ter, with the object in view of set
tlement of the question by next sum-
mer.
Approximately 10000 Chicago
building tradesmen are now working
under five-day week agreements
These are as follows: Painters, 49,
600; plasterers, 2,200, and fathers,

bers affiliated with the Chicago

A. F. of L. Executive Councils Report
Record of Solid Labor Progress
new EMPLOYMENT
Measure Effective i'm Penn
sylvania

Harrisburg, Penn GLNS) Strict
supervision of foreign employment
agents taking labor out Of Pennsyl-
yania is prescribed by an act of the
last session of the general assembly
which became effective October / and
provides penalties for violations. The
department Of labor and industry is
charged with the enforcement of the
act 1t is estimated that about 10000
such foreign agents have operated in
Pennsylvania without regulation
One section of the act says:
mo foreign employment agent, OF
other person, shall enter this com
monwealth and attempt to hire, in
duce, or take from this common
wealth any labor, singly or in groups,
for any purpose, without first filing,
in the office of the secretary depart
ment of labor and industry, a state
ment as to where the labor is to be
taken, for what purpose, for what
length of time, and whether transpor-
tation is to be paid to and from desti-
nation, if temporary, also a statement
of the financial standing Of the com
pany desiring the labor.
"The secretary shall thereupon de-
termine whether the person desiring
such labor from this commonwealth
is an employment agent for profit,
and, if so, whether such person is
qualified to be licensed under this act.
The secretary, after such investiga-
ton, may refuse to license, upon COM
pliance with the provisions Of this
act, or register such person"
The term employment agent as
used in this act does not apply to de-
partments, associations or bureaus
maintained solely for persons in
Pennsylvania to obtain employees for
themselves or members and which
charge no fee to applicants. Othes
exempted include theatrical managers
engaging talent for their own per-
formances; bureaus procuring en-
ployment for school teachers or reg
istered nurses, without charge em-
ployment bureaus maintained by any
association of manufacturers within
the state to obtain employees for their
members without charge.

until all industries are thoroughly
organized"
Industrial Necessities Defined
Industrial necessities are classified
as including employment, income,
leisure and security for the future. .
On the sound side of things the
council finds that industry is coming
to have a new sense of its RESPONSE
bility Perhaps as a reflection of
this, there is less in the report this
year than has been usual about the
"open shop" movement which, accord
ing to all sound information, is on
the down grade headed for death by
malnutrition, which means that, hav-
ing failed to deliver to the employers
the results they expected, employers
are getting rid of the scheme as dead
baggage. AS matter of fact during
the year several company unions"
have been disbanded and the field
cleared for legitimate organization.
From every point of view the re-
port, while appraising with critical
eye the Kaleidoscope changes of in
dustry and the consequent need for
alertness, is a solid record of achieve
ment, from membership growth on
through gains in cutting down the
work week and in wage rates.
Two Big Legislative Battles
Battles forecasted by the report in
clude two legislative battles of major
proportions, these being for the new
anti-injunction bill and the measure
to cut down immigration in evrey di-
rection. If the federation's immigra-
ton program goes thruogh the
United States will become the most
tightly fenced nation the world has
ever known, made so by the marvels
of modern industry.

Three Union Men Slain,
Many Injured, in Strike
Clash at Marion Plant

der. An unofficial walk-out of the
night shift at the Marion plant took
place, and when these night workers
tried to inform the day shift of their
action the. sheriff without warning
threw tear bombs into the crowd and
Immediately opened fire at close
range.
"Not single gun or weapon was
carried by any striker. There was
no provocation whatever. The depu-
ties dubbed and beat the wounded,
some of whom were carried to the
hospital in handouts in a dying con-
dition.
'"rhe people in the town are starv-
ing and desperate The mill owners
are not living up to the agreement
which was undoubtedly the cause of
the walkout, which we deplore."

DRESS UNION TO
ENLIST NEGROES

New York-A drive to unionize
several thousand negro women en-
ployed in the local dress trade has
been launched by the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union.
Most of these women earn between So
and $12 week and are discriminate
ed against in many ways.
"The International Ladies Garment
Workers Union has never made dis
tinction as to race or color" officials
of this union declare "Our union in
sists that wage scales, hours and
other work conditions must be
equally enforced"
Negro churches and fraternal or
ganizations in the northern section Of

DRY DOCK
Workers Strike Settled

New Orleans ULNS)-One of the
shortest strikes ever experienced in
New Orleans was amiably settled
when approximately 600 shipbuilders
and boilermakers employed by the
Jahncke Dry Docks, Inc, returned to
their work less than 20 hours after
they struck in protest against estab-
iishment of dog watch" shift by
the company. Walter Gahnecke, vice
president and treasurer of the corpor-
alton, and E. H. Mills, business rep
resentative of the Crescent City
Lodge No. 81, International Brother
hood of Boilermakers, ShipbuiIders
and Helpers of America, announced
settlement of the strike.
Approximately 500 of the strikers
were union men, and they had the
support of nearly 100 non-union men,
who also protested against the pro-
posed change in operation by striking.

Noted in Annual Review
Tighter Curb immigration, Extension of Southern
Organizing Campaign, Old Age Security Action, Fur
ther Study of Machine Problem Among Recommen-
dations Made to Toronto Convention.

Toronto ULNS)-New recommen-
dations mark the report of the eXecu-
tive council submitted at the opening
| session of the American Federation
of Labor convention. Here are out
standing features that show the
| march of the movement and the trend
of its policy:
/. Reduction of European immigra-
ton is recommended, with an en-
phatic recommendation that all Latin
American immigration be put on
quota basis.
2. A new injunction bill will be
| presented to the convention for rati-
fcation, marking the opening of a
great struggle to finally put the anti
labor injunction out of business.
8. Figures are presented showing
the number employed in industry is
growing smaller.
A. Extension of the fve-day week
is urged
5. Extension of the campaign to
organize the South is urged.
g. Plans and a policy for the 1880
"off year" political campaign are pre-
sented
7. Membership is greater and there
is an organizing spirit like that of
war time"
8. Old age security is demanded,
the growing emphasis on this point
rejecting the growing displacement
of men by machinery and the grow
ing tendency in industry to discard
men at an early age.
Machinery VS.. Freedom
The whole program shows clearly
the growing Importance of holding
machinery and technical processes in
a proper relation to human well-being
of not letting modern machinery
run away with human freedom and
decency.
The shorter work week, growing
wage rates, vacations with pay, some
form of guaranteed security for old
age, are set forth as measures to
make machinery serve mankind in
stead of dominate The plea for a
dramatic reduction in immigratiin is
a mean steward the same end
1T is reasonable to expect continu-
alton of technical progress and conse-
quent industrial change" says the re-
port. This means that changes will
continue in industry and labor must
every day move along with industry
for the protection of mankind against
those changes, so that change may
bring well-being instead of misery
and disaster.
Much space is given to conditions in
the South. All organizations are
urged to include definite work in the
South in their plans for the years
work. The report declares that "the
development of unions simultaneously
with further industrialization of the
South will assure sounder, better bal
anced progress" and adds, "organiz-
ing work in the South can not stop

These workers waited in picket line
formation, for the Z a. m. shift.
Meanwhile Sheriff o. F. Adkins
and II deputies arrived at the mill
gate.
Shooting Starts as Sheriff Speaks
At GAS the mill warning whistle
blew and Sheriff Adkins made
speech, telling the strikers, so he
says. that he didn't care whether
they worked or not, but that they
mad no right to block the road. In
the midst of his speech shooting
started.
Three union men were slain and 13
persons, mostly union members, We're
injured seriously enough to require
hospital treatment. A bullet grazed
the cheek of one deputy. One aged
striker at the outset, swung a cane
at the sheriff This man is described
by the New York World correspond
ent as eccentric" He was among
the slain.
The sheriff says he did not shoot.
Strikers contradict him
Deputies threw tear bombs at the
outset, before any shots were fired.
1t is reported that several of the
wounded were shot in the back while
fleeing from the gas attack.
