BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., September
1l.-William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has sent
telegram to President Hoover prais-
ing the action of the State Department
to curtail immigration while unemploy-
ment is acute.
He said the decision of the State De-
partment was heartily Endorsed by the
executive council of the federation at
conference yesterday.
Mr.. Green said he had conferred with
Secretary of Labor Davis about the
need Of shutting out immigration dur
ing the unemployment period by refus-
ing to issue visas, and believed the ac-
ton of the State Department would
relieve the problem.
Another clause in the immigration
law, he said, which is giving trouble to
American mechanics, Is the special
privilege granted employers to bring
ropean mechanics here to do work which
they claim cannot be done by men in
this country. He said, however, that
after 1t has been found that their places
can be filled by American workmen
these men are deported.

GENEVA, Switzerland, September IL
With that marvellous voice of his
hippling like organ music over damned
assembly, Aristide BRAND, man OF
peace, launched his project for q
European federation to the nations oil
the world today.
NJ. BRAND stood slouching over the
white, implanted tribune, talking with
out a single note as the golden purr OF
his eloquence came steadily for an
hour. Crowds lining the newly car
pentered balconies and halls interrupted
him with frequent cheers
M. BRAND said he hoped the nego-
tiations begun at the naval parley at
London between France and Italy will
be continued and added a hint that an
agreement might soon be reached. II
Is thought that Dino Grand, italian
foreign minister, perhaps went to Rome
to report to MusSolini this development
Pacing behind the tribune, shaking
his fist vigorously, laughing with a
harsh chuckle and then letting loose
the major tones of his organ voice, M
BRAND appealed for peace. Security,
disarmament economics, naval rivalry
were among the subjects touched on, al
ways In their relation to world peace.
Seldom has Geneva heard a more pas
sionate appeal to forget the miseries and
dangers of war and turn to permanent
efforts to make peace perpetual.
1.-The possibility of European union,
despite all the difficulties, might be
easily realized" M. BRAND said. He
lauded the peace work of the League OF
Nations.
M. BRAND spoke after curtain
raiser by Sir Robert Borden of Canada,
who took the tribune in order to I'LL the
hall and give M BRAND the solid audi
ence he likes. Sir Robert gave BRAND a
good text when he used the phrase that
League members were children in the
kindergarten of peace"
Arthur Henderson, British foreign
minister, is following M. BRAND with a
speech which, 1t is understood, will
avoid direct mention of United States
of Europe and will largely be confined
to the question of disarmament.
The French thesis Of peace by secur-
ity and international arrangements
thus is again contrasted with the rival

thesis that disarmament should come
first.
Mr. Henderson listened to M BRAND
with Queer-looking phone attachment
stuck to his ears, by which NJ. Brands
speech was brought to him from q
translator speaking in English. Many
similar phones are seen. They have
been introduced by the International
Labor Bureau through the efforts of
the American philanthropist, Edward
A. Filene of Boston.
Others among the listeners were in
teresting to watch, among them most
of the big guns of Europe. M. Venizelos
sat arched forward, his white beard
wagging. Lord Cecil, as usual, was
bent half into a hoop as he listened
with one hand cupping his ear. Young
Benes of Czechoslovakia sat far back
intently listening and watching his
f1ngernails. Count Apponyi of Hungary
whose wife has just become the first
woman to be chairman of one of the
Assembly's commissions, sat stiff as a
poker, his face in profile looking like
a Ratchet.
In the presidents chair sat N
Titulescu. His yellow, masklike face
had almost Chinese appearance OF
interested imperturbability. Next to
him Sir Eric Drummond. who is the
real boss of the League, listened atten-
lively. Schober. Austrias policeman
chancellor, never budged during the
speech, nor did Count Bernstorff. next
to him, who was Germanys Ambassador
to the United States before the war.
When the glow of the great French
mans rhetoric had paled bit, some
disappointment was expressed in the
galleries that he had not been more
specific in his appeals. 1t was throb-
bing haze of words, emotionally almost
overpowering, but in the cold light of
later scrutiny somewhat vague.
at is time now to speak of Europe, 4"
M. BRAND said. How can we coun-
tenance war in this great country we
call Europe?" brought appreciative
cheers.
Most of the members of the League
thought that his speech did mark an
epoch, and that If any unified Europe
does ever arise out of the present rival
ries, confusions and apprehensions, then
M. BRAND certainly more than any
other single man will be responsible,
and today's session was a great step
forward to this historic end.

the returning Horn party aboard the
Bratvaag, proceeded to White Island
after they had missed the Norwegian
scientist. Gables September told of
the finding of additional relics of the
balloon party, including a skull
In DR.. Horns own story he described
in detail the place where the skull and
bones believed to- be those of Andree
were found. He said it was under the
wall of mountain. Between two
mounds OF earth a short distance away
from Andres remains were found the
remains of a second member Of the
party.
The picture in which the apparently
overlooked skull is shown does not fl

ocean which was photographed only to
show the difficult landing made by the
expedition. The melting SHOWS have

OF rocks, is the grim relic of this lone
lost expedition.
While it is not possible to ascertain If
there are additional relics hidden among
the rocks, 1t is pointed out that bears
might easily have moved the skull al
any previous period during the Ions
fate.
All Of the descriptions of the finding
OF the original relics tell of their being
buried in the snow and ice The skull
in the picture Of the landing place lies
among the rocks in melted patch.
1t is quite possible the relic may have
been overlooked because of the excite
ment OF the expedition members who
made the find and the fact that the
0ipfIIra NIy1c Rtyf2I
and with so many Others that editors
overlooked 1t. The fact that 1t carried
the matter-of-fact label place where
Horn expedition landed at White Is
land" doubtless lessened the interest of
European editors who handled these
pictures and who were eager to get those
labeled relics"
Attempts are being made to get DR.
Horn to identify the picture, and If he
verifies the surmises 1t probably will
clear up the fate of the missing member
The two skeletons brought back by DR.
Horn tentatively were identified as
those of Andree and Nils strindberg.
This brave trio set out in July, 1897
in q balloon from Spitzbergen in an at
tempt to fly over the North Pole. They
sailed away into the mists, and 1t was
only a month ago that their fate was
disclosed.
A Swedish Norwegian Committee con-
sisting Of four legal authorities has been
instituted by the government of Sweden
and Norway to investigate all questions
of property rights in connection with
the diary and other objects belonging
to the Andree Expedition.
The Swedish press today urged that
no further delay be permitted in publ
cation of the diary, which was recovered
when the bodies of Andree and his
two companions were found on White
Island. There was a feeling in some
quarters that the government might
alter It's previous plans and permit
publication of the diary before the
government ship Svenskund returns
here.

prosperity to some Latin American
countries. But" he warned, IF such

Cattle Tick Eliminated.
The cattle tick has been largely
eliminated in the United States, said
w. M MacKellar OF the Bureau of
Animal Husbandry. Approximately 80
per cent of the originally quarantined
area of 577,367 square miles has been
freed from ticks and released from
quarantine, he explained. and the same
can be done in other countries by strict
quarantine and treatment of the cattle
by such methods as the arsenical dip.
Breeding a dairy cattle still presents
many difficulties, the delegates we're told
by M. II. Fohrman of the Bureau Of

made up of many hereditary units.
Most animals. he said, transmit TO
their descendants factors for both high

procedure to produce o breed OF cattle
transmitting only the high production
units. With each breeding, he said, the
genetic factors are rearranged in the
offspring with the result that extremes
of high and low tend toward a level.
Daughters Of high milk producers sell

the offspring OF poor producers tend to
be better.
