I'M MIGRATION CHECK
AS AID TO IDLE O. KID
80 Per Cent Reduction in Quota
Approved by House
Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House immigration Committee
today approved the jenkins bill to re-
strict immigration for two years as an
employment aid.
The measure would reduce quota i'm
migration 80 per cent and limit immi-
grafton from Western Hemisphere coun-
tries to 10 per cent of the entrants in
the fiscal year 1929.
The committee also approved the
Free resolution to limit Filipino immi-
grafton for two years to 500 entrants to
the mainland. 1t also would authorize
Filipino immigration from the islands
to Hawaii to be governed by existing
Labor Department regulations.
The jenkins bill was substituted for
the original Free bill, which carried the
Filipino provision along with the other
restrictions.
Failing to obtain privilege to bring
the Free bill to the House for action,
Representative Free, Republican, Cali
fornia, It's author, introduced the sep
arate resolution. He said he would urge
early action.
The House Republican leadership has
indicated that immigration legislation
may not receive consideration at this
session because of the few days remain
ing.

100000 END STRIKE

Lancashire Cotton Mill Workers
Back on Jobs After Month.
MANCHESTER, England, February
16 (P.-Between 100000 and 300 1000
Lancashire cotton mill workers re-
turned to the factories today, ending a
strike Of nearly months duration.
Agreement was reached Friday be-
tween the workers and the employers
on the employers demand to institute
a more looms per weave" system. Al
though the system gave the workers
somewhat better pay, they attacked it
as throwing other men out of work.
Because Of the depressed state of
industry it was not expected that more
than so to 60 per cent Of the workers
would find jobs today but reports of
revival of trade in India gave con-
siderable hope.

Robson Writes Nye Kentucky
Probe Should Not Be Con-
fined to G. O. P.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Former Senator Robson, Republican
Kentucky, charged today in a letter to
Chairman Nye of the Senate Campaign
Funds Investigating Committee that
whole precincts were stolen" in the
election last Fall In which he was de-
feated.
Denying that he had injected the re-
ligious issue into the campaign, Robson
said he felt If there was to be an in
vestigation of the 1880 Kentucky cleo
ton it should not be confined to the
Republican party.
THE Kentucky State Highway Com
mission was in the hands of eight par
tisan Democrats" Robson said. They
had millions of dollars under their con-
troll. Kentucky needed roads. Thou
sands of men and their families were
destitute on account Of unemployment
and drought.
Declares Ballots Defaced.
1T was a matter spoken of through
out the State that persons interested
in the Democratic candidates visited
various communities in the State and
stated bluntly TO many officials and Cit
liens that they would have to line ur
tor the Democratic candidates to get
this or that road built or to get employ.

1T would also be shown" said Rob-
sion, that whole precincts were stolen
and in others the ballots were so de-
faced they could not be counted for the
Republican candidates"
Many Republicans of Kentucky, a!
Dc % h1
investigation of the 1880 election IL
Kentucky, this investigation should no
be confined to the Republican party
its candidates and managers"
Referring to testimony before thu
committee that he injected the religious
issue into the campaign, Robson saiG
nothing could be further from tn,
truth"
I'm no speech of mine during tina
campaign was the religious issue raised
or even referred to. Nor was that ISSUE
raised in any speech made for me, no
in any literature distributed for m'
with my knowledge and consent" HI
said.
Tells of Forum Publicity.
Robsicn said some of his friends hao
arranged for publicity favorable to him
in the Fellowship Forum, Ku Klua
Khan newspaper, because most of the
papers of Kentucky were against him
These articles were confined to his
record, he said, and did not attack any
one politically or otherwise"
Referring to testimony before the
committee that Robert NJ. Estes, ar
official of the Internal Revenue Depart
ment had paid $4,000 to Charles STEM
gle of the Fellowship Forum for pub
licity in that paper, Robson said he
had not suggested to Estes that he
solicit the money.
Robson was succeeded for this tern
by Ben Williamson.
NJ. M. Logan won the long-term race
and will take his seat from Kentuck!
in the new Senate. Williamson anC
Logan are Democrats.
Robson said Chairman Nye haC
made a remark which indicated Este!
had collected this money from Fedora
employees, but that Estes denial of thi!
implied charge" had been given NJ
publicity.

Word comes from the Asso-
ciated Press of embarrassment
and annoyance inflicted by i'm
posters and petty grafters, who
in many cities of the country, by
posing as Associated Press rep
resentatives, have victimized mer-
chants and others.
For the protection of our citi-
zens we can say authoritatively
that the Associated Press does
not issue badges or printed Gre
dentials to its representatives.
Its employees do not ask for spe-
cial privileges, advances Of money,
credit at hotels and other public
places of entertainment. They
do not ask banks to cash checks
without complete Identification;
they do not solicit the purchase
of any article, or endeavor to
sell anything.
We wish our business men and
citizens TO know that when any
person comes to them seeking
favors or making any solicitation
involving money or credit on the
ground that he represents the AS
ISOLATED Press, 1t Is safe to set
that person down as an imposter
regardless of the nature Of his
purported credentials.
