MEXICO DEFENDS
NEW TOURIST LAW
immigrant, IN Departm ent
SAYS Workmen Enter From
u. S. Illegally.
By the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, August 21.--The i'm
migration department yesterday made
public figures intended to justify re-
strictions recently placed In force TO
prevent entry into Mexico OF foreign
workmen in the guise of tourists.
The figures were published in reply
to a reported statement by the Ameri-
can consul at Nogales, Sonora, in which
the consul was reported to have de-
plored the restrictive aspect OF the
laws.
Tourists entering the country on SIX
month permits averaged 5000 monthly
from September, 1880, to June, 1881, the
department said, while those leaving
averaged less than 500 monthly until
May Of this year, when steps were taken
to prevent persons whose tourist permits
had expired from remaining in the
country.
The department said the measures
were not intended to restrict legitim ate
tourist travel, but were meant to end
the practice Of workmen entering the
country on tourist permits and remain
ing In Mexico permanently.
Such steps were necessary to prevent
foreigners from occupying Jobs needed
by Mexicans, the department added,
pointing out that the unemployment
problem has become acute in Mexico.
No direct statement was available here
from the consul at Nogales. The gov
ernment's statement said the remarks
attributed to the consul came from re-
ports only and that It would not take
responsibility for saying that the consul
actually made the criticism.

Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh for

Lieut.. Tanaka messaged There is
very little hope Of repairing the Lind
berghs' motor in short time"
The flight officer did not state the
origin Of his information, but presum-
ably it was given him by the govern
nlent steamer Shimushiru Maru, which
mas been standing by the plane since
IL hours after it was forced down late
"Wednesday in the Black Hole" of the
Kurile archipelago.
The steamer Ehimushiru Maru Thurs
day towed the Lindbergn plane 70 the
north side Of Ketoi Island when a
change OF wind made unsafe the planes
position on the south side Of the small
island
The captain Of the vessel said the
towing was difiicult because Of con-
tinued breaking of the tow line. The
plane might have made the circuit Of
the island under its own power but for
the motor trouble.
Col Lindbergh worked ON the motor
until late last night, but apparently
failed TO repair the trouble.

forced down on Ayatcha Bay. a few

the landing was due to fog, not engine
trouble, which apparently developed
since then owing to excessive moisture

ports 235, 900 Employed.

The Presidents Emergency Commit
tee for Employment, which will be-
merged Monday with Mr. Hoovers new
unemployment relief organization, with
Walter s. Clifford Of New York as its
general chairman. today issued what
probably viii be its last statement on
tobless conditions throughout the United
States.
Through Fred c. Croxton. acting
chairman, the committee announced
that more than $4,000 workers were
employed on State highways in July.
The statement was made on an esti-
mate submitted by W. G.. Markham,
executive secretary Of the Amert9r~
Association of State Highway Offcials.
Mr.. Markham explained that he based
his estimate on reports he had received
from highway officials from 80 States,
which employed 254.414 men. These
States let contracts during the month
amounting TO $77,i53.554 for 6,i27
miles of road
Contracts Continue Strong.
tThe reports covering July show that
contracts for roads are continuing
strong even beyond the midyear." Mark
ham pointed out The Federal effier-
gency loan Of $50 zoo, 900 has already
been absorbed in contracts, and the
contracts made by the States in July
are irrespective Of that fund. These
contracts are evidence that work on
roads will continue late into the Fall
and that the men win be kept actively
at work as long as weather permits. /" =
Minnesota topped the list with COM
tracts totaling 9i5,373,765, calling for
employment of ASA men. and work

Some years ago a great physician
evolved the medical theory that like
cures like. Apparently there are
many employers, business men and
bankers today who believe that this
medical theory would work equally
we'll in the industrial world.
AS the present depression was
brought on by the failure of employ
ers to pay sufficient wages to enable
the mass of the people to purchase
the nations manufactured products,
they now recommend that the wages
which were previously too low should
be still further reduced as a neces-
sary step to bring restoration of
good times.
When the patient is suffering be-
cause sufficient oxygen is not enter
ing the lungs, close the windows and
reduce respiration. 1t would be as
sensible and practical to do the latter
as to apply the like cures IKE tne-
ory to the present industrial situation.
Of course, there always are those who
would carry out the doctors orders
without having first attempted to
learn whether the doctor was COM
petent physician.
American workmen as whole are
too well-informed TO accept the nos
trum being recommended by some
employers and bankers. The sound
economic method of retoring prosper
ity is to increase the capacity OF the
mass of the people to buy, and there
is but one way by which the buying
can be brought about-increasing the
dollars and cents in the pay envelope

but are business organizations func,
tioning for the purpose of protecting
and advancing the interests of large
groups of men. Labor unions are
the medium through which groups of
wage earners sell their labor, knowl-
edge and skill. They are the only
agencies Through which groups of
wage earners can advantageously
enter into contractural relationship
with employers.
