MINE AID
INQUIRY
Tells Lewis of Asking Doak,
Lamont to Confer on Plan;
Seeks Constructive Program

President Hoover today advised
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, that he had directed Secre-
tary of Commerce Lamont and
Secretary of Labor Doak to
ascertain how the Government
best might contribute helpfully
in any movement designed to ad-
vance the well-being Of operators
and mine workers" in the
bituminous coal industry.
This was In response to the
request by Lewis in behalf of
the executive council Of the
United Mine Workers that Mr..
Hoover call conference of
bituminOus operators and miners
as a means of strengthening the
coal industry.
The President avoided com.
mitting himself on this request,
but said:
"The Administration Is de-
SirOus Of lending every possible
assistance to any constructive
program put forward by opera.
tors and miners"
The Executive explained to
Lewis that his request had been
received during his absence from
Washington on speaking tour,
and added:
"The many intricate ecOno-
mic problems and competitive
conditions existing IL a major.
ity Of the bituminOuS coal min.
ing districts of our country are
OF general knowledge and 1t is
realized that the difficulties Of
the industry have been the sub

Europe Buys Half
Of U. S. Exports

If President Hoover's morato-
rum on reparations and interna,
tional debts is adopted and has
the effects anticipated, it should
have dollar and cents reaction
on American foreign trade.
Figures issued by the United
States Chamber of Commerce to-
day showed that for The first
three months of the year Europe
purchased 512 per cent Of all ex-
ports from the United States, the
largest proportion taken oy those
countries during the last five
years for any one quarter.
Europe would be benefited
chiefly by the debt moratorium,
with the stimulation of German
trade. which improvement un-
doubtedly would mean a gain in
business of other European ma
tions.
For the first five months of
1881 total exports amounted to
1,129, 767 900. and if the same
proportion of purchasing by Eu-
rope continued buying from Amer
lea would be well over a half bill
lion dollars.

100 DEPORTED
EACH WEEK

At the rate Of more than $50
week the immigration Service
is deporting aliens who are out
of work and have no means OF
support.
This policy, which was an
nounced some time ago, is being
carried out in a humane way,
Commission General of Immi-
grafton Hull said today. 1t is a
phase of the prevailing business
depression which cannot be
avoided.
In all cases the immigration
Service pays the fare home of
the unemployed alien who is de-
ported, whether his destination
be Syria or Mexico. The num-
ber of those who are thus made
victims of the unemployment
situation is reduced to as small
a number as possible under the
existing statutes.
1t has been the practice Of the
immigration officials to deport
all aliens who have become pub.
lie charges" dependent upon pub
lie charity, it is said. The ap-
plication of this law did not be-
come a major immigration policy
until the present depression be-
gan.
